1.86ghz vs. 2.26ghz Worth the upgrade?

On mine, it wasn't soldered in. However, there was a twist to the way it's installed. At first, I was like "how the hell do you remove the CPU from the socket?" I didn't find the lever that's usually present to remove the CPU. Instead, there's a small hex bolt that you need to turn on the side. Then the CPU comes right out. To do that, of course you need an allen wrench key. Since I didn't have one, I just used a small flathead screwdriver, lol. Works just fine with that.
 
Yeah those sockets does not require a lever, but a small screw.

Although, yesterday, I was suprised at one thing: An all-in-one mobo. You're supposed to have a soldered CPU. Surprisingly, ECS finally gave us a kit with a CPU, and heatsink/fan from Cooler MAster. Looks like we can upgrade those after all :p
 
wouldn't give a big difference but depending how much ram you got might. if you have 512, try upgrading it to 1gb. the cheapest way is to use windows readyboost (windows vista)
