i own a toshiba satellite l655-s5096. it comes with a intel pentium and a wopping 3gb of ram.
i would like to change the memory to 8gb and cpu, and maybe a ssd anyone know what should I get .
 
Solution
An SSD would work
More RAM would maybe work
Any new CPU you could put in it (if possible) probably would not be any great improvement

You should get a whole new laptop. This one is already 6+ years old.

OK...you have a good desktop, and a 6+ year old laptop.
Why are you wanting to put money into the laptop to make the laptop 'faster'?

It depends. Some are, some aren't.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket_G1

"Socket G1, also known as rPGA 988A"

"The current CPUs to use this package are the Core i7-6x0M series, the Core i5-4x0M series, the Core i5-5x0M series, the Core i3-3x0M series, and finally the Pentium P6x00 series and Celeron P4x00 series which were released on March 28, 2010. However, not all of these are available for Socket G1, as some of them are only available in a BGA package. They are also known as PGA988 socket processors."
