Replacing Notebook CPU

[Xonoahbin]

I've seen a laptop on newegg that has enough of a gpu factor to work for games I play and enough of a HD and RAM I'll add on too, but the processor is a Sempron 2800+.. and it'd only be about $100 to go for an Athlon Mobile 3000+ with better speed and cache, so what I'm wondering is how terrible is it to get a CPU replaced in a notebook on general?
Laptop is little over $600 if you're wondering, plus a mail in rebate of $50..

What laptop? Is it a S754 or S462 Sempron?

S754.. just want to know how difficult it is to get CPUs switched on general.. it's an Acer Aspire..

Shouldn't be that difficult. Try going to www.notebookforums.com and looking in the Acer section for the model number of the laptop you want to buy.

I just did it on my Presario M2105US. Read about it here:AMD CPU Change.

Take your time, don't lose any screws, and be careful. Make sure you have good screwdrivers, they make the job easier.

Mine had a Sempron 2800, and I changed to an AMD 64 3200 mobile and it runs much quicker and smoother.
