    You probably can squeeze in a ML-42, staying with the same L2 Cache, gaining an extra .2GHz, but would run a bit warmer as well.

    You are right. My bad.

    To clarify - the S1 socket would support Richmond CPUs (your MK) and Taylor/Trinidad CPUs (X2); but unless you can find the correct BIOS and chipset for your notebook model, this would make no sense in swapping out the CPU.

    There is an Acer 5052-ANWXMi model that supports the X2 right of the bag. You might want to use it as reference, maybe?
