        The 560? Upgrade the CPU? Fat chance. Most of these notebook
things are nailed down like a coffin. Occasionally, a 3rd party will come
up with an upgrade path of some sort (i.e., PEP products does this with
701's and I think some others), but it doesn't happen all that often. And
the cost...well, its somewhat debateable whether its worthwhile to
significantly "upgrade" a notebook machine.
