    Sup All,

    I have tried looking for the answer but am not able to. If I buy a w3j base model with Core 2 Duo T5500, is it possible to upgrade to T7200 sometime in the future???

    I am thinking I will just upgrade myself(I know I will void the warranty, but that's ok) to the new CPU and get a lower price??

    Thanx for any help.

    as mentioned, btotech is putting the t7200 for less than the current retail price of the w3j. i would check them out before deciding to do it yourself...
