    Ok i got an aspire 7741g - 384G with i3 and Intel HM55 chipset


    I KNOW i can upgrade to the i5 since the bigger version of 7741g has it but is is it possible and worth the hassle to upgrade to i7 720QM?


    And if in that case its worth upgrading to i7 would it overheat or draw to much power?

    And seeing my specs now.

    i3 2.53 ghz
    4G 1066ram
    radeon hd 6370M

    Would i experience a significant improvement in games if i go

    i7 1.6ghz quad
    8gb 1066ram
    radeon hd 6370m

    or

    i5 *dont know prosessor specs*
    8g 1066ram
    radeon hd 6370M


    Thanks for replies!
