After some research I have found out it is a BGA956 socket, I am still unsure if its soldered or uses a socket. I don't actually have it yet.

I ordered one with the SU7300 (best choice they offered), I know this is a socket P motherboard. The processor only uses 10w would there be a problem with me putting in a SL9600 or something like this it uses 17 watts. Not sure what...

Yes. I can use an external dvd drive and it reads fine on the same pc or I can put the disc in my work pc and it reads fine. I already ordered a drive so I am hoping that is the issue.

Yes dvd drive firmware, there has been four updates drom Dell. I tried blasting air through it last night and nothing. I am in Iraq and will see if I can find a laser cleaner but it may not be available. Thanks.
