Hey, quick q, i finally upgraded from my old 8600 and got the xps 1710, sadly i could only directly afford the 1830 dual core proccessor. Eventuallly is it possible to upgrade the proccessor to the dual core 2 2200? i did get the 2000 ram, and 7200 rpm hard drive, my only weak spot is the proccesor speed

Welcome to the forums and dont worry about the processor, its stronger then you might think. As long as you got a 1.73 or higher theres no need to upgrade. If you got 1.66 then some games might consider your laptop to slow to play the game. Dont worry it will still run it perfectly! ITS NOT WORTH IT TO UPGRADE! imo.

hey noob. welcome.

you can drop in a core 2 duo i believe. i would wait til the price comes down though. it's not as weak as you think. be happy for a while and then in 6 months the merom c2d will be about 100$ make sure you get a T7xxx series as they have 4mb of cache instead of 2
