I am running on an IBM ThinkPad A20m with a 500Mhz Celeron processor. I am wondering if it is possible to upgrade this particular processor to something a little fast without having ot upgrade the motherboard. Something is telling me I cannot do this, but I figured I would look into it just the same. Thanks

I don't like giving out not so good news but you need to get a new system or stick with what you currently have.
