    I'm thinking about getting a Z61t with a Core Duo CPU.....

    However - I'd really like it to be upgradable to the Core 2 Duo CPU (which is said to work with the GMA945 chipset)

    Does anybody have info on what motherboard the Z61t uses ?

    Is it a drop in FPGA or a soldered BGA (non-upgradable) ?

    Or could somebody run SisSoft on their current Z61t and try and look for a mobo manufacturer somewhere in the results ?
