    I have a compaq 6720s and it has a celeoron M530(GM965 chipset)..
    I downloaded PC Wizard and now I've made a little weird discovery:

    Type : Intel Pentium
    Internal Specification : Intel(R) Celeron(R) M CPU 530 @ 1.73GHz
    Model Number : T2370

    The T2370 is dual core right? But why is there M530? M530 is a single core right?!
    So I can change my processor from M530 to T2370?

    :confused:

    Well the Celeron M 530 is a Socket M, whereas the PDC T2370 is a Socket P. So no, you can't upgrade to that afaik.

    Likely you got an older second rate C2D instead of a Celeron. Pretty much the same thing performance wise. No L2 Cache but has 64bit support. Or maybe I'm on crack 0.o

    Any C2D is better than a Celeron.

    The Celeron M 530 came in both Socket P and Socket M. Since you have a GM965 chipset, you have a Socket P processor.

    The Celeron M is based off the Merom C2D's but it is just single core with no speedstep.

    You can upgrade to T7xxx to T9xxx processors depending on up to which your BIOS can support.
