OK, first don't start saying "Oh, you can't upgrade the processor, blah blah blah..." I have opened my Averatec and found the processor to be quite removable :rolleyes: But now, here's the question...

I recently found out my processor APPEARS to be the desktop replacement version of the Sempron, NOT the low wattage version. On ebay, I found a Sempron 3000 that appears to be the low wattage version. So, do you guys see any reason not to try this little upgrade? It's going for pretty cheap now(should be under $30 shipped) and hopfully will improve my battery life and heat problem...

I have read some info on another version of this laptop which can apparently take up to a Sempron 3300, so that much shouldn't be a problem...

Any insight, experiences, etc?
 
on other products, I would say $30 is worth a shot, but I would definitely research further so nothing gets fried
 
do you mean like going from p3 to p4? I like to upgrade a p2. I wast sure if that can be done, so id like to know how it turned out.

No hes talking about going from a Sempron 2800+ to a Sempron 3000+.
 
It may use a different pin pattern or amount, i dont know if youve checked, but i would

PS: a sempron 3000? comone! stick a AMD Athlon FX-60 in there!
 
... Dude, this is a freaking budget laptop. An FX-60 probably costs as much as the laptop's worth! And learn your sockets. Semprons are A and 754, FX's are 939.
