Upgrade A Celeron M

You can easily upgrade your Celeron M processor.


The Celeron M processor is part of Intel's large family of mobile processors. The Celeron M was first released in 1998, and it has since developed into a family of almost 60 different processors with clock speeds from 400 MHz to 2.5 GHz. Upgrading your processor will significantly boost your system's overall performance. You will need to partially dismantle your desktop computer to upgrade the Celeron M processor.


Instructions


1. Shut down your computer. Unplug the power cable from the back of the computer. Disconnect and remove all external devices from the computer.


2. Rotate the computer so the back panel is facing you. Lay the computer horizontally on its left or right side, depending on which side the side-access panel is located. Remove the retaining thumb screws fastening the side panel in place. Touch an unpainted metal surface to discharge static electricity from your body. Remove the side panel to reveal the inside of the computer.


3. Locate the processor fan assembly near the center of the motherboard. Disconnect the fan's power cable from the motherboard. Remove the Phillips-head screws fastening the fan to the motherboard. Lift the fan assembly off of the processor chip, and remove it from the computer.


4. Turn the processor's locking screw in the counterclockwise direction or lift straight up on the processor's locking lever. Lift the processor out of its socket, and remove the processor from the computer.


5. Reverse this procedure to install your new Celeron M processor.
