Thanks finding a price and seeing if it is soldered to the motherboard proving difficult, can another AMD processor be used?

Thanks cant find if it is soldered does the wattage matter?
It has to be a Turion socket S1 chip for the Puma platform http://laptoping.com/amd-turion-64-x2-ultra-zm-80-82-86-turion-rm-70-athlon-ql-60-sempron-si-40.html. The wattage reflects how much heat it generates, which is important for laptops which have cramped spaces and limited ventilation.
upgrade the memory if its less than 1 or 2 gb. this is probably the first most effective and the easiest upgrade to do for a laptop.
