What motherboard do you have?

As far as I can tell (using WIKI as a resource), the only upgrade options for Socket G2 processors (such as your current B800) is:
B810 - Dual Core 1.6GHz
B840 - Dual Core 1.9GHz
All other specifications are the same. I don't think either option would be financially worthwhile and I don't think you would gain a whole lot of performance from 0.4 extra MHz

What make/model of motherboard are you using? We need that information to determine what processors are compatible with your system. You can also look up directly at your motherboard vendor's website.

But you need to see if your motherboard has an actual socket with a removable cpu, and not soldered on. Also you will experiance overheating with anything you upgrade too, so be cautious.

Its still a sandy bridge celeron though.

Also what?

What make/model of laptop are we talking about here (with 2 CPU sockets)?
