Call tech support and ask them what the fastest pentium m processor the m5700 bios supports, then get it... I don't think AW sells processors as customer upgrades anymore, but if you're still under warranty they'll do the upgrade for you. You pay shipping one way, and AW's vendor part cost (discount over retail) and AW installs the new processor, reinstalls the heatsink and runs in the system as if new.

If you're not under warranty anymore, they may do the upgrade for you, but you'll have to pay shipping, parts and labor so if you're out of warranty just buy the part yourself and install it. Just remember to use thermal paste or a heatpad. I'd use Arctic Silver 5.

theres no real updated driver for teh Nvidia is too bad AW doesnt keep up with teh drivers updates on mobiles unless theres like a major major fix something that will cause like 60% of computers to fail or something.

as for teh CPU you can go as high as the faster pentium M ever sold i believe it was the Pentium M780 @ 2.26.
