Upgraded from V120 to N620 (dual core, 2.8Ghz). Works like a champ. I picked this CPU because most apps respond to speed more than core count. Also, this cpu was $65 on ebay and N660 was close to $100.

Ran Prime95 stress for several hours. The can does not run at max speed, so I think it would handle the max CPU you can put in this socket. Just search this web site for S1G4 and you can find all of the chips that fit.. Warning - I'm pretty sure that it must be an S1G4 chip as the other generations may fit, but they will not work.

Ran Prime95 stress for several hours. The can does not run at max speed, so I think it would handle the max 35W CPU you can put in this socket. Just search this web site for S1G4 and you can find all of the chips that fit.. Warning - I'm pretty sure that it must be an S1G4 chip as the other generations may fit, but they will not work. I also cannot vouch for 45W cpus. That might be pushing it.
