    hi guys i'm new here,

    i would like to ask for help from you guys on which processor to pick for my upgrade.
    btw here is a screen shot of cpu-z of my laptop
    cpu-z_1.JPG cpu-z_2.JPG

    and these are the processors in my list, C2D P9700, C2D T9900, C2Extreme QX9300, C2D E8435 my first choice is the C2D E8435 because its the cheapest one and have high frequency. they all have the same chipset but i'm not sure if they are compatible.
    what should i check to know if they are compatible and if they are not can you please suggest any other alternative. thanks!

    I would suggest that you avoid a headache and waste of a few hundred $ buy saving your money for a decent new Laptop. Anything you buy now will get more hours battery life and tons more CPU power, even in the cheapest of Core 3rd or 4th gen core i laptops.
