    Read this
    "Free Processor Upgrades & Savings on T & R Series Notebooks, A Series Desktops & X Tablets" here
    http://www.fatwallet.com/cash-back-coupons/Lenovo

    I bought my T61 in the last December.
    I followed the link found in the webpage above, but don't know how to do the CPU upgrade?

    Any tips?

    They are saying you can get a free upgrade to a better processor when you buy a new system...

    It's an advertisement ploy to opt you to get a new system.

    Probably only when Intel ships out new processor ships. They're going to phase out the old chips soon and want people to buy the new ones instead.
