Hi guys, I have a Toshiba Satellite L500-1Z9 and I wish to upgrade the CPU for testing and to see it will work......to use it yes. The laptop is slow even with a fresh install of windows, it had 2GB of RAM which I have upgraded to 3GB by adding 1GB ram stick but will maxing it to 4GB later on. I will be popping in my 250gb ssd also that I have as I want the best performance and don't mind spending whatever for it to reach its best....it's been laying around and I am bored lol so this is a project (kinda)
I've checked to see which ones are supported and it looks like it will be this list below
Core 2 Quad Q9000 - 2ghz
Core 2 Quad Q9100 - 2.26ghz
Core 2 Duo T9600 - 2.8ghz
Core 2 Duo T9800 - 2.93ghz
Core 2 Duo T9900 - 3.0ghz
I just want to browse the web and actually be able to watch 1080p as the CPU goes to 100% usage once I click on that option and want to use office without it being slow also. What is the best for TOP performance overall?
