Can I upgrade my processor

I have a compaq armada 1573, Win 98, Pentium 1.

I want to upgrade the processor can I or does the mother board need to be changed???

Also can i get rid of a pentium processor and put in a AMD Athon Processor???

The armada 1573 is a laptop and you can't upgrade as I believe the cpu is wavesoldered to the motherboard. It's also highly unlikely that you'll find a new/replacement motherboard with a better processor. Even if you could, it would be cost prohibitive. You'd be better off searching through the refurbished/used laptops at pricewatch.com.

btw, here's technical support link at hp for the armada 1500 series

Thanks!!!

Laptop are cost are still a bit high but before upgrading, I would check if the invest realy worth versus invest in buying a brand new laptop.

Sometime, upgrading doesn't worth it.
