I bought a close-out R40 from last year with a P-M 1.3 GHz processor in it. Is it possible to put a 1.7 in it?

The CPU in that machine is socketed. So you should be able to upgrade it. The R40 never came with a P-M above 1.6GHz, so there's a slight possibility of having a heat issue, but I doubt it.

Thanks.

Anyone have any direct or indirect experience with this?
