    There's a socket M T5500 as well, find out whether your T5500 is a socket M and you can try another faster socket M cpu, not T4400 which is a socket P cpu.

    Also if you have intel graphics, you can upgrade the motherboard for very cheap to Nvidia and SATA if you dont have it. Problem is the VGA heatsink, usually more expensive than the motherboard.
