I have a gateway solo 9300 with a p3 600mhz and I was wondering if there was any way to change the cup to like a p3 1.0ghz processor

its probably better just to change the laptop than try to upgrade it. they dont make p3s anymore

Studio Comp: AMD Athlon XP 3200+ OC ~ 2.35GHz runs at 40 celcius idle and 48 under stress (aerocool GT1000 really works!), Asrock K7VT4A , 1024MB Dual Channel DDR 400, MSI Nvidia FX5200 128MB OC ~ 600MHz mem 350MHz core,80GB SATA + 200GB SATA + 120GB IDE, 7.1 Channel Soundblaster Audigy 2 Platinum EX sound and midi interface. 19" Sony SDM-HS95 TFT monitor - sweeet
Comp2: AMD Sempron 2400+ OC ~ 2.0GHz (Stable), Asrock K7S41GX, 512MB DDR 333, Onboard Graphics, 40GB Maxtor IDE

non-existant as in don't have or very little info? check the gateway site for manual & specs on motherboard or computer.

laptops if like desktops than switches can be anywhere. also possible the board will auto sense the speed of new cpu but not certain.
