I have done some search on this model and found that RAM and certain specs differ a bit withing the L1310G model group. The two most noticeable are the battery shape and the RAM, which in my computer is set to max 2GB, and came originally with 1GB. I have to make this laptop live a bit longer as I need it for an extra workstation.
I have installed different linux programs, like Ubuntu and Puppy, and now recently Fedora. Ubuntu Maverick 10.10 is like Vista on this laptop! (With syrup in the machinery) The lighter version lubuntu seems to run fine, but still a bit tatty. Now I want to try upgrading the CPU from Celeron M to something like a Core 2 duo. Do I need to worry about issues with heating, overload or something like that with a more powerful processor? How do I research what kind of processors that are compatible with my hardware and better than the Celeron M 1,53MHz. If I understand this correctly the Celeron series have a low cashe memory, that are improved in the Core 2 duo series, which is now become the standard. Actually I remember processors with duo cores were the only ones worth going for even when I had just bought this laptop, but at the time I knew nothing about hard ware at all. I have found a couple of threads on the subject in this forum, but I am still not shore what to look for in a upgrade.
Again: How and what to check for to find a compatible CPU replacement?
