Hey Shawn....Did manage to do this upgrade on my own several months after posting my question here. Found a used Intel T6600 processor on ebay for about $65.00 and installed it myself. Would highly suggest that you download and print the G70 Maintenance and Service Guide for this laptop (HP Document Part # 485462001) before opening the unit up. Don't have a link for this manual anymore, but it is still available on the web if you look hard enough. Contacted HP tech suppurt directly when I began my research on the CPU upgrade and they were of no help whatsoever. They flatly states that it couldn't be done and only suggested I buy a new laptop from them.....kiss my ass HP!!! I found that you can use a T6400, T6500, T6600 or even a T6670 processor for this unit upgrade. Just make sure you are using a processor chipset that has the same 800FSB as the motherboard was designed for. Any further questions, I can be contacted directly at hoosierblues@aol.com. Hope this helps you out.
