[QUOTE="baggss, post: 1213359, member: 6762"] Actually I have. The C2D and CD machines apparently had the CPU glued to the socket and were not upgraded. The OP isn't talking about an older machine, he's talking about a newer i5 to an i7 (Lynnfield to Lynnfield). Completely different setup and the CPUs are apparently NOT glued to the board and are removable. That link was the only one I found in my limited search that showed exactly how to do it and said that it should work. Seems like a lot of work though. [/QUOTE]
