Pentium SU2700 ULV processor

[Codie]

Right, I have a single core Pentium SU2700 ULV processor, 1.3Ghz, 2MB L2 Cache and 800 Mhz FSB. Socket P I believe.

I want to change it for the equivalent dual core version.

Can anybody pop me a link to the processor I need as I can't seem to find.

Thank you

PS: Or can I overclock the one I have?

Toshiba sells a model in the same series with an SU4100 CPU, which is dual core.

Whether it is practical to perform such an upgrade on your laptop, I don't know.

I assume that a laptop isn't easily overclockable, due to BIOS limitations, but yours may be different.

You might check before if your processor is soldered to the motherboard...

I'm running the SU4100 CULV

Laptop CPU upgrades a best left to professionals and almost never cost effective.
the mfg restricts overclocking for a reason. Limited cooling and power limitation being just a few of the reasons.

Yep, that's how it's been with any of these ULV procs I've seen. If you need/want something with more processing power, you shouldn't have bought the ULV line. You may be looking at a new laptop if you definitely need the increase in power.

Thank you for the replies and advise guys, I wanted a laptop I could have the best of both worlds with IE: The battery life and unit size of a netbook but with enough power to deal with multiple things at once. I knew the processor werent great being a 1.3 single core but its helped by being a pentium I think rather than an Atom or like. Plus the 2M L2 cache. I had a choice between single core with 3GB DDR3 or dual core with 4GB DDR3 and I went with the single 3Gig.

Don't get me wrong it copes fine with everything I do, the only thing that I put down to the performance is that I copied some DVDs (as back up obviously) and when I tested them, a few froze in places which I put down to performance of the system. I did it on an LG external disc drive at 8X max for DVD burn

I know it won't be cheap to do so I may just leave it. I would check if it was soldered or not but I don't really wanna take my laptop apart to check.
