you can't really upgrade the processor for a lappy... you have to buy a new unit to do that.

Hey hedges,
You cannot upgrade the processor of a 12-14 or 17" Powerbook !
The only one's you can do that to are the G3 Black powerbooks, Wallstreet, Lombard and Pismo (speeds of 233 to 500 MHz).
You can upgrade the RAM and the drives though !
