I opened up my Zino to take upgrade the ram from 2gb to 4gb and decided to look at the rest of the inside. I didnt take off the heatpipe heatsink, but noticed that the socket is am2. has anyone tried to upgrade the processor in it with other than what the optional processors for it were?

2650e, 2850e, 3250e, and Neo 6850e, which I don't know much about...

I'd say no need to overdo it on the processor, you're not going to be doing a ton of gaming. But at least dual core would be good- the 3250e is what I'd pick.

The main thing would be heat dissipation and power delivery to the processor. In addition to BIOS support.
