Hi Guys... iv got a laptop with an i3 330m cpu.. iv got an i5 450m cpu that I can fit.. is it worth the strip down to fit it for the gains.. my laptop is a couple of years old so a good clean between the cooling fins and the fan while its apart might need doing.. oh... both cpu's are rated at 35 watt so I know the cooling is ok for it.. Ta all..

I would check with the laptop MFG first, many times the OEM mfg BIOS' limit processor upgrades (and you're going from a 3xx to a 4xx)
