I am just woundering what could I upgrade my Compaq Presario 1500TC to CPU wise. I am not looking to do this anytime soon since the current CPU, Intel 2Ghz Pentium 4 (not M as far as I can tell), is more then enough. I have been able to open the case up compleatly before and get access to the CPU. I am just woundering if I could someday upgrade to a P4M or Centrino of the same or higher frequency. When I bought it I knew there was a 2.2Ghz option but that was the highest speed intel offered at the time so I dont know if it could go higher then 2.2Ghz.
Heres the MB information I got from Sandra
