[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1115466, member: 24098"] Because the CPU is soldered fast to the system board. You could, in theory, replace it if you had a $20,000K SMD workstation and the skill to desolder hundreds of pins without burning out other components. But in reality, it's a lot more cost effective just to upgrade to a faster model. As a general rule of thumb, you have to jump a CPU family or double the clockspeed to really notice a discernible difference. [/QUOTE]
