Re: Help please.

Likely not. Pre-built machines are locked down at the BIOS level to prevent warranty claims. Even then a Celeron won't give much.

At best you may (with great difficulty [if you can find] custom bioses/unlocked bios flashes) switch up the chips if you can find somethign faster in your socket config. I would say its not worth the effort. The final result would not be anything stellar. I would buy a new system. Even a single core AMD LE OC'd on a decent board would throw out larger performance and new upgrade paths (newer PCI-E standards, faster cheaper memory + more of it etc)

EDIT: LE's aren't all that available anymore perhaps? Dual cores starting at 2.2ghz from intel/AMD (depending on pricematch) are slightly over 50 $ CAD.
