    Hey! I want to upgrade an i3 to an i5 and I'm not sure where to buy a processor except from ebay. I'm looking for an i5 580M or at least a 560M and the best price is from Taiwan. I'm wondering if any Europeans or Americans have ordered processors from Taiwan and what was the experience like?

    -Thanks

    i got my x9100 CPU from Taiwan and the service i got was amazing
    never had anything come so fast from anywhere outside the UK
    this is my record of the tracking, as u can see it was very fast postage
