Personally, I feel that messing with hardware on a notebook is never worth it (with the exveption of RAM). It shouldn't cost too much if you get one now, unless you wan't a Core 2 Duo.

if its an older processor then u should get a new updated board/ram/and processor .... chances are if its a pretty old board more than 3 or 4 years, you wont be able to find an upgrade processor for it anyway and if you do it will almost cost as much as a late-model one ...

Sounds like you want to do a complete computer upgrade. If you are not experienced replacing components at the motherboard level, you may want to have a qualified technician work on your machine. Also, make sure you can cost-justify such a dramatic upgrade. You can go to www.Dell.com and buy a brand new machine for a few hundred dollars.

its not worth upgrading something that old if you need to put in a new processor. buy a new machine, in the long run it will be better and cheaper.

Before you start tearing down your computer, you should learn how to use spellcheck first!
