Hey guys,

So I'm working on this small project, just for kicks. I am trying to refurbish my 6 year old ASUS N80v series laptop.

I am currently replacing the keyboard, and replacing my flawed HDD.

Now, I do not want to spend big bucks on this computer, but I noticed that I could replace my CPU for a used one for literally $4. I was just wondering what my options are for upgrading it further.

How can I go about finding other CPUs that will work with my computer?

My model: ASUS N80v series
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo Mobile T6400 2 GHz

Thank you for the help, if this can even be helped!
 
Solution
It's tough to say, but any upgrade probably won't be worth the effort or the money (even if it's $4). I managed to replace the Core 2 Duo in an old laptop with a small step up (going from 2Ghz to 2.1/2.2 Ghz) and it made little difference.
