CPU upgrade

[Coin Flip]

Hello,
I am have a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Li2727 laptop.

It currently has a single core Intel® Celeron® Processor 550
(1M Cache, 2.00 GHz, 533 MHz FSB)

I was hoping to upgrade the CPU to some kind of dual core processor.

The processor in it currently supports sockets PBGA479, PPGA478

Can someone please recommend a processor for me.

Hello and welcome to the forums
Unfortunately I don't think it's possible to upgrade the CPU

Alright a dual core is impossible for you but... there is the this processor http://www.pacificgeek.com/product.asp?c=201&s=1078&ID=963400&P=F
With its new technology higher FSB, and Clock speed it will be a improvement from your current processor.

Hello folks and thanks for your replies.

Out of interest why is a dual core impossible?

The processor that you recommend looks alot slower and also has a different socket compared to what I currently have.

The Li2727 has been built with a dual processor from what I have read,
Intel® Pentium® Processor T2370
(1M Cache, 1.73 GHz, 533 MHz FSB)

Although if this works would this be an improvement.

It's got higher power consumption so it may not work well
