Hey there everyone....I have an HP pavillion notebook which i bought in 2006 for school and i've loved it but have noticed it's not the best multi-tasker and now that i'm gonna be working, i need it to be faster and more efficient. I don't wanna buy a new computer cause it's running vista and i'm not a fan of it. so my question is this: can i install a intel core duo processor chip on my comp? I'm currently running an AMD 64 processor with 1gb of RAM and an 80gb hard drive...if i can upgrade to the Duo processor, what will else will i have to upgrade with it?
Is Intel core 2 duo compatible with older comp?

Well, AMD and Intel are two different companies/styles of CPUs, so if you want to run a C2D, you'll need a new Motherboard. Since it's a laptop...you're very limited to the point of it would be easier/cheaper to just buy a new laptop.
There are ways to speed up your system though. Have you ever performed a Disk Cleanup or Defragmented the HDD?

Get program like CCleaner and RegCleaner to wipe all the crap off your HD/Registry, run a spyware/malware/adware/virus/anythingelseyoucanthinkofscan and defrag. You should see a world of difference... I don't think it's even possible to change laptop CPUs, and even if it was you'd have to go with the same brand you've already got.
