Presario 17xl262 (Cdn version of 17xl265)

Hello,

I have been trying in vain for years to find out two things about upgrading
the cpu in this laptop. First, how fast can I go and second, and more
importantly, what cpu platform connector do I need? AIDA32 identifies it as
a mobile uPGA2 while WCPUID will only say that it is a mobile platform.
Intel's Processor Frequency ID tool is the main source of the confusion
because it identifies it as either uPGA2 or uBGA2! I know that the
motherboard was changed for the 17xl3xx series and higher. Compaq has been
completely unhelpful with this so I am turning here, hoping that someone
knows the answer!

Finally, on a related note, is an increase from PIII-600mhz to 850 or higher
worth the effort/aggravation? I am hoping to go to a ghz+. The cpu's are
inexpensive but I wonder if my time, money, and energy might be better used
using the equipment I have or saving for a new laptop?!

Many thanks,

Mike
