Hi!
I have a FSC Xi1546 and I was wonder if the upgrade is possible. The chipset is 945pm and it is Core 2 Duo compatible and the latest BIOS has stepping for Merom B2. 
I've been reading some forums related to this case and I found one new possible obstacle :? What if the processor is SOLDERED 
:?: Then it's a professionals job to change the parts because what I know there's tens or hundreds of pins soldered into the mobo
