    Is there a manual from Dell that shows exactly how to change the processor in the XPS M1330 if someone wanted to install a Penryn chip?
    Also which is the more difficult to change, the processor or the display?

    I have a 4 year warranty, does anyone know if doing this yourself will void the warranty?

    I called tech support and the guy seemed clueless, he said i HAD to upgrade the motherboard in order to change the process which I know is false for the process i want to upgrade to.

    Make no mistake: You swap the CPU--you void your warranty.
