Jsut got a acer aspire with the new Socket S1 AMD Turion, the cpu in it is a screamer its just a single core. It has the MK38 2200mhz cpu. ALso I may add at 399 for this laptop its very nice. Its ready for upgrades, I already swapped out the memory for a 2 gig dual channel kit, now just for the cpu and im set. This laptop is a screamer compared to my Old thinkpad r50.


Question is , I wanna uprade this to Turion X2 but I cant find these for sale anywhere!! Well I can just nothing special just a X2 1800 Mhz TL-56 for 174.


WHere are all the cpu's for sale at for this socket???? Its amd's flagship socket with DDR2 support and everything??

Is the upgrade to the TL-56 worth the upgrade over my screamer single core at 2200 mhz?? I would be losing 400Mhz but gaining another core??

THanks guys!
