    I have the laptop in the title and I am looking to upgrade the processor from the a8-3500m to a A8-3550MX. The bios for this laptop is very simple and will not let me adjust any settings. My question is would this processor be able to work with my laptop and will it allow me to run 1600mhz ram without having to change any settings in the bios?

    The concern would be the original 35 TDP package as the compared 45 watt TDP.
