As I remember, the BIOS auto-detected the new memory and hard drive. While the CPU <em>can</em> be upgraded, IMHO you're playing with fire. Too much additional heat. I wouldn't do it. The memory + hdd upgrades will astound you. BTW: That laptop still gets > 8 hours of use a day, with nary a blip. Just don't forget to add fat feet, so the thing can breathe.

Does anything have to be changed in the setup to accomadate the larger memory? Can the CPU also be upgraded in this particular laptop?

My wife's laptop's in great shape, but it's several years old and really slow. It's a PIII machine with a slow 10gig hard drive. I was thinking of replacing it but didn't want to spend the money. Maybe I don;t have to now. Thanks for the info. You just may have saved me some money. My wife’s laptop’s in great shape, but it’s several years old and really slow.
