Best Answer

The highest CPU the Inspiron 1150 can handle is 2.66 Ghz Pentium IV. Anything higher will overheat. Be sure to clean the heatsink and use some thermal paste on the CPU.

You can but you can't upgrade it much due to its socket. (LGA 755) If you did you would only bump up the clock speeds. I would recommend buying a new motherboard and CPU.

Can you use a dell inspiron 5100 p4 motherboard pn 5w609 to replace a dell inspiron 1100 p4 motherboard pn 5w610?

Sure can....have done so...you may find the Wifi card from one motherboard or graphics chip doesn't plug into the other so make sure you get the graphics chip with the motherboard. The answer is a qualified yes. The 5100 motherboard does fit in the 1100 case and will mount with the same holes. However, you must also replace the power supply, graphics card, CPU, CPU fan and a couple of other parts. So, after having done all this you might as well have started with a new computer.


Can you upgrade your laptop with new CPU or more RAM like desktops?

In general laptops are not easy to upgrade. You MAY be able to add more RAM, but some laptops are sold with the maximum RAM they can handle already installed. You probably cannot upgrade the CPU, but you can't necessarily upgrade the CPU in a desktop without replacing the motherboard.The only upgrade that you can almost certainly make is to increase the size of the hard drive.
