    You can get any P series, T9300-T9900, or an x9100. I just upgraded my cpu in my g60vx to a T9600. It was the best bang for the buck. I paid $50 shipped for it. I was able to overclock it to 3.2 from the stock 2.8ghz. My temps are really low. I can now play BF3 with high settings, some on ultra. Also your stock cpu is 3mb cache, the T9600 is 6mb cache. It's like night and day on how much smoother my laptop is.
