There's instructions there for replacing the processor module. Does that mean the CPU is user-replaceable? I'd love to crank this thing up to a dual-core config from the Sempron I have now.
jim,
yeah its not easy to replace laptop processors but its not to hard either. just have to remember not to put too hot of a processor in a laptop. It was only built to cool certain processors.
Hmm. Looking at what's available online, I see a few Turion 64 X2's, but they're all rated at 35W - including the ones that Wikipedia says that the Inspiron 1501 was shipped with. I looked on Dell's website, but apparently the 1501 has since been discontinued, so I can't find anything on that.
How would I know if the Inspiron 1501 can take a 35W processor without trying after I buy?
Actually, these are user-serviceable. The CPU is in a zif socket (S1) and as far as is available now, you can put up to a Turion 64 X2 2.3 Ghz in there. I think that's the TL-66 but you'd have to check.
It's not hard to swap CPU-s. There is a manual how to take this notebook apart. I have TL-50 33W now. I want to upgrade to TL-66 35W. I think this CPUs are interchangeable. You can upgrade to any CPU from Sempron to TL-66. It will only affect you PC's temps and battery performance also, but it's normal...
I've noticed that u are using 192 MB for video card, how did u change that?

I have 1.5 GB of RAM, the more RAM you add the more RAM is used for shared memory.
Hi,
I have an Inspiron 1501 with a Sempron processor, I'd like to change my processor for a dual core.
I ain't found too many information about the CPU supported by my main board, I know I could put a TL50 or a TL56, but I'd like to install something faster, are you certain that a TL60 or a TL66 would run on it at their full power?
Thanks
There's no reason why it shouldn't WORK. Only tl-66 is higher clocked an it is hotter than previous tl-60. I recommend you to buy tl-60 it's safe. Good luck.
The 1501 is a pain to take apart, but using this service manual i managed to swap out my 2.0GHz single core CPU with a TL-60 Turion X2 (2.0GHz per core) and it worked an absolute treat.
Cleaning out the heatsink and adding new thermal paste also means that this new CPU is cooled effectively.
now im waiting on a new 320GB hard drive and thinking about bumping it up to 2GB RAM
Ubuntu 8.04 here I come!
huy ,,
im using dell inspiron 1501 sempron 512 mb ram (4200s) ..now i want to upgrade it to 1gb !! ?? if i bought the ram 5300s will it cause any confliction ??? when i searched net i found both have different speed 4200s is 400mHz and 5200s is 667mhz ... whats the ram speed supported by the board ??? i cant find the ram speed from the system ..hopes that u will give me a final asnwer !!! all the wishes to this blog !!
neo,
you have to call dell, they are the only source who will be able to give you a definitive answer on what ram your specific motherboard can take.
sorry
thanks man as always!!
thanks for the support !!accrdng to my knowledge in desktops generally the ram speed cant make a confliction if the higher capacity ram has higher speed !! but i dont know abt what that of case in laptop ..i found this message from dell now !! i posting it here if it helps someone with the same doubt !!
it shows 5300s will support dell 1501 ..but dnt know if it support with a 4200s ram...
