Upgrading A31 CPU... Max?

[BGoins12]

Hey guys, I have an A31 with the fastest CPU they offered in them, the 2.0 P4-M. Is it possible to max it out to the SL6WZ 2.6GHz CPU, or does the board/chipset simply not allow it? It's no big deal if it can't, as I think the performance is perfectly fine.

Yes, you can.

Expensive CPU and a lot of heat, but many people find it worthy...

SL6VC (2.4) is probably the best combination of price, heat and performance in my experience.

I'm running SL6WY (2.5) in my (currently out for repair) A31p, but only because I found the CPU under the market price...otherwise it would've been SL6VC...

i believe it works fine, but it's been awhile since i was actively upgrading my a31p. at the time the most i wanted to spend got me the SL6VC 2.4ghz cpu. seemed like a pretty good performance bump over the 1.8ghz cpu it came with, but i upgraded ram and installed a 7200rpm drive at about the same time. all of them together made for a very powerful machine in it's day.

edit: if George says it works, then you've got no worries.
