Upgrading A Laptop

Hi,

I have been building and upgrading desktops for over 10 years but
know virtually nothing about laptops. We have a NEC Versa SX w
266MHz Pentium II that could use more speed. Is it possible to
replace the motherboard with one that would take a 500MHz CPU
(I assume the maximum for re-ATX) as you can do for a desktop?

Thanks,
Gary

it would be cheaper to sell it and buy another ex govt unit
or from an auction or university notice board
some units have cpu's that unclip like desktops but the majority are hard
wired

some ranges of laptops can have interchangeable MB's but that is rare
and even harder to get the parts at a good price

don't waste your time
but if you do pull apart a laptop
its like a Swiss watch
write down every part you remove and map it for easy re assembly

or u end up like me and have parts left over
