    I tend to be a bit wordy, so I'll get to the point. I have a dell XPS M1330 laptop and I want to upgrade the processor. My processor is currently a "Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T6400 @ 2.00GHz"

    I was wondering if it is possible to install one of Intel's i-series processors, as that would be ideal. But if it isn't are there any recommendations for alternative processors that would be compatible?
    Many thanks.

    Edit: After a bit more research, I found that the only way to change the graphics chipset was to change the motherboard entirely. Does that mean that all the components are integrated, or is it just the video card (such that it is).
