Upgrade my netbook's cpu

[xuser1]

Last week i bought an acer aspire one A150L and i'm satisfied about the speed of it's cpu: intel Atom n270 1.6GHz(single core), 512KB L2, 45nm an embedded

i also got a mini ITX mobo with an embedded intel atom 330 (dual-core) 1.6GHz cpu, 1MB L2, 45nm

please tell me if there is a possible way to put atom 330 dualcore on my netbook

Thanking you in advance.............. For Linux!!!!!!

I would say check the manual if the processor is removable and check with the manufacturer if it is upgradeable and what your options are.

embedded usually means soldered onto the motherboard permanently.

Intel makes sure all of the Atom processors for netbooks are soldered on as a means of selling their old scraps. They're the same chipsets used in the original Intel Mac Mini's in early 2006

There is no good way to swap those CPUs as the Atom is soldered to the motherboard. You would have to de-solder and re-solder 432 solder balls that are about a millimeter in diameter. It can be done if you have a de-soldering tool, a loupe, and hands steadier than a top neurosurgeon's, but then you'll probably still run into BIOS issues with the Aspire One as it was not designed for a dual-core Atom.

Thank you all for the valuable information you gave me.
Maybe i should have waited till aspire one came with a D/C proccessor
