Hi! I want to ask if I can upgrade or change CPU in Asus X73TK-notebook and I also want to know which CPU should I Buy ?

What is the current CPU in your laptop?

AMD A6-3420m 4x1,5 ghz

I looked around a bit, I did not see a variant of your laptop that came with a faster chip.

I saw another version of this notebook and I possibly can change 3420m to A4-3305M with 2 cores

You have an A6 already. An A4 would be a downgrade.

I remember that i saw an X73TK model with Intel i5 and GeForce graphics

That would not be compatible. Different socket completely.

Then it's no chance for me ? Am i right ?

Doesn't look like it.

Do you think that overclocking could improve speed and perfomance ? If you think it could work, do you think that i will feel the difference ?

Laptop chips generally cannot be overclocked.

There are many tutorials how to do it and i think it's possible
