    Hello,

    is it possible to upgrade the CPU of a Thinkpad T60, e.g. from a Core Duo (Yonah) to a Core 2 Duo (Merom) - I assume the FSB has to be the same? If it's possible, can it be done by you and me or do you have to go to a service point?

    Greetings.

    Thanks for the link. So the Core Duos and Core 2 Duos are compatible if the FSB (and in this case the socket, too) is the same.
    But how difficult is it to change the CPUs?
