I would forget about this project. Even if you know how to properly take a laptop apart - and put it back together (not obvious), There are few CPUs that fit your socket and then you still may run into cooling problems. Plus, a Walmart Special may have all kinds of other restrictions. Those are being made for low price with the cheapest components around. That is also a reason why it is not worth investing into it.

I agree with whs Pete

I had to replace a Monitor during my Work experience at school and Laptops are very Tightly packed and if one Wire or screw is out of place it will not fit together

Also The cooling issue is another Factor - If you would like more speed then You might want to consider Buying or Building a Desktop ;)

P.S. I personally still support the subjunctive mood, and "your" before a genund!
