I recently was given an Aspire 7551-3464 and after quite a bit of searching (it seems my ggole-fu is a bit off lately) I see that some of the other models in this series (ie. 7551-7422) support the socket s1 Phenom II N930 CPU, the 7551-3464 has the Athlon II P340. I was wondering if anyone out there could tell me if the 7551-3464 uses the same mainboard as the 7551-7422 or if it is capable of supporting the Phenom II N930 like the 7551-7422 or what the most robust CPU it does support is?

I know that both of them have the same chipset (M880G) and use the same socket (s1) but I can't seem to find any definite answers as to whether the 3464 will support the Phenom II N930 or N970.

Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this.

It should be compatable. It's 10 watts more. Don't know if thats enough to cause heat problems in a laptop.

But the gains don't seem that great to me.
