    New here!! I bought this laptop from a garage sale for $20, great deal i know! This has the T6400 and i want to upgrade it. When upgrading do i go by the wattage and such or is there more to it? I would like to go T9900 or X9100. Thanks:hi2:

    You go by socket compatibility, BIOS compatibility, FSB bus and take the TDP into account since that will affect the battery and power adapter. :)

    P.S. $20? Nice find!
