I'm all for upgrading CPUs, but by my limited experience, lintmail is optimistic in regards Toshiba manuals. Unlike Dell and IBM/Lenovo and HP/Compaq (and maybe others, I can't say for all), Toshiba does not publish manuals that show how to disassemble laptops.

Further, when I located disassembly instructions on the web, I found that one needs to take the entire machine apart because the CPU socket was on the bottom of the motherboard. I gave up

YMMV on this specific model, just don't assume off the bat that it's an easy thing.

Here are a few disassembly manuals but its not necessarily a piece of cake...

Thanks!

clearanceman said:Isn't it easier to just live with Vista home basic and buy more ram? It runs great on 3 gigs, ok on two. If you turn some stuff off, it works a lot like XP and I have found it to actually be more stable. I have three computers with XP and three with Vista home basic.

bumping this as I too would like to know what to turn off in Vista to speed it up.
