Hi Guys,
I expect you know it would be an M CPU.
M is Mobile-laptop CPU. The otherday I did find some information on upgrading the CPU for the chipset. It gives upgrade CPUs something like AMD Athlon 1800 M. Think there is more to consider than chipset though, fsb speed and all that comes into it. Which at my level is quite beyond me!
Cheers,
Peter. Ps did'nt realise that Everest was a home diognostic PC utility, at first I thought you made a joke, coz I put all the CPU-Z info down. I did that not really knowing what is useful or not. Think I will download Everest for future use.

Ryan-- "but does anyone know if the mobile processors are different than the desktop?" I asked a couple of people, seems are different size and different cooling requirements.

It may just be a stock picture the graphic designer used.

Getting ready to go out, later I will e-mail and ask for actual size? Or you can if you like.
