m11x CPU upgrade?
Is it possible to upgrade the CPU in my M11x? I would like to put in something that is Overclockable to at least 2.2 or 2.3. Does anyone know what duo core processor I would need, and if it is at all possible to do this, or if the current CPU is solderd in?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for getting back to me. I am aware that these are the only two that you have Validated. I currently have the SU7300. I would like to replace it and wondering what chipset I need to look into and if the CPU is soldered to the Motherboard or not.
I would like to know this before I pull it apart and possibly void my warranty.
-Thanks, Mike

CORRECTION - The one in our lab was soldered. The warranty would not cover removing our CPU and adding another. Mobile Intel GS45 Express Chipset.

Hey...
How about to use a Core 2 Duo SU9600 same socket 1.6ghz and same TDP, designed to use the same chipset GS45.
or better yet an an SP9400 same socket, same chipset, 6m cache, 2.4ghz, the issues 1066mhz FSB and 25w TDP instead of 10W.
FSB should be supported by the chipset as specs of the chipset, 25w TDP is my big question.
So Alienware engineers, M11x heatsink are able to disipate the extra heat created by the SP9400, since is capable to disipate the extra heat of overclock the SU7300?
OR
Can we replace the Core 2 Duo SU7300 with an SU9600 for the extra bit power, and then overclock it to 2.0ghz?

None of that has been tested by us. No idea what could happen.

We only validated these two as part of the motherboard -
Intel SU4100 1.30GHz (800 MHz FSB, 2MB Cache)
Intel SU7300 1.30GHz (800 MHz FSB, 3MB Cache)
