I'm 99.9% sure that this will void your warranty. You are completely changing out an integrated part of the laptop that effects the rest of the laptop. This isn't something simple like changing the RAM - Dell will detect that you have a new CPU and will void any warranty that you have with them.

It will only void the warranty IF you keep the Merom in it when you get it serviced. Simply put your old CPU back in when it comes time to service it, if at all.

Changing RAM and HD in a laptop is one thing, but changing CPUs? Changing CPUs isn't all that simple - you have to know how to access your notebook's CPU, know how to do a BIOS flash, and have to reapply thermal paste. To most, this will be too complicated/time consuming to do, and will either simply keep their Yonah CPU, or keep Merom in their notebook for good.

Well it won't void the warranty if they don't find out when you return it for service. But if they do, you're in trouble.
Usually opening the notebook voids the warranty, and there might be seals that you might break and in doing so void the warranty. Add to that using components not designed to go in that particular model

While we're on the subject, does anyone know if the CPU on the XPS m1210 is soldered or socketed?
