    Couple of questions.

    1. Has anyone successfully upgraded to the T9300 cpu? There is much written about it but no one claims to have done it.

    2. The machine has the 0NX907 motherboard and is currently using the onboard intel express video. Is it possible to upgrade the video to NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT dell part number UW390.

    Thanks

    1) Not personally no, but all 800 FSB Core 2 Duo's are supported, even X9000.
    2) No you have to buy the Nvidia mobo (WY041) and the 8600M GT (UW390). Most 8600M GT have the heatsink included, and it's cheap. It may not be worth the upgrade..
