Hi Guys, just wanted to say thanks again for compiling all that Information about the 2570p, and also for the friendly professional and FREE support. Before I got mine, phillofoc pointed me in the right direction for choosing the CPU. Right now I was looking for and found a wifi ac-mod. It's nice of Tech Inferno Fan to still take care about this topic even after change of hardware (if I read your signature correctly). My little "beast" is in productive use now for little more than 1,5 years, I'm still smiling when compiling code or starting up a bunch of VMs. Nice to see that a quad-modded 2570p still "eats" most other business subnotebooks "for breakfast", no need to upgrade yet.

Hi guys, first a big thank you for compiling so much information about the 2570p neatly here. However, after browsing all pages, googling and using the forum's search, I still don't get which CPU-Socket type to get if I want to do an upgrade. Most of all quad-core upgrades mentioned are available as BGA1244. If memory serves right, the 2570p has a BGA1023 socket. Can you just drop a BGA1244 CPU in a BGA1023 Socket, or does one have to get a PGA988->BGA1023 modded CPU? Thanks in advance BuzzDee
