HP dm3t chipset & socket

[plkjnnfr]

Hi everyone! I'm having the worst time trying to find the motherboard chipset and socket for this laptop. It currently has a U4500 Intel Pentium processor in it and I want to upgrade to an i3 in the future. Thanks for your help!

I don't think you can do that because they both use different sockets. Sorry to rain on your parade

I really want the i3 processor. the dm3t comes base with an Intel Pentium Processor U5400 (1.20 GHz, 3MB L3 Cache) and all I really do it surf the web, email, school work so maybe I should just get over the i3 and the 1.20 ghz is enough. What do you think? (trying to save pennies)

I don't even think that's the same socket type.. I could be wrong though..
