okay i just got this notebook as a replacement from insurance for my last one which kicked the bucket.

the problem is the processors too darn slow for me! when insurance came through they gave me a choice of some toshiba satellite with integrated graphics card.... no thanks. or this one HP DV6700. I havnt been able to find a straight answer on if the processor is upgradable. if it is then what should i look for in a new processor compatability-wise?

new notebook:
Windows Vista
HP Pavilion DV6700
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T5450 @ 1.66 1.67
nVidia Geforce 8400M GS 254mb
250 gb SATA (really 220 with a 12.5 as a backup. nice)
3GB RAM

also if anyone knows off the top of their head what else is upgradable that would be great but my main concern is the processor. thanks!
