Is it possible to upgrade my t42 (2378ra) from a 725 1.6ghz to a newer M series intel?

Thanks!

up to $460 for it right now

I guess my other question is how do you know this? and is it worth it?

Also, is it possible to change the video card? If so, to which model?...

Thanks!

You will not notice any performance change unless you get to a 2.0GHz chip or higher. The price on eBay for those puppies is ~$250, so I'm not sure it is worth the trouble (voiding warranty when you open the case, etc.)

The video is NOT upgradeable. It is soldered to the motherboard.

Is there any difference durability wise between the T43 and the T42?

I figure since i dislike the T60 and don't need it (expensive), i COULD upgrade to a T43...

t42 = t43 they are both bulet proof as far as i know

some claim t43's fans are loud but who cares
42 < 43 that mean t43 has more stuff in it !!!! (evolution theory)

The most noticeable performance upgrade you can make would be to a 7200RPM Hard drive. You will notice that a lot more than a 2.0GHz Dothan.
