    Hello, I decided to make my gateway pimped up since it has better graphics.
    Is it possible for me to swap e1705 T7400 cpu and use it in Gateway P-6860FX?
    Gateway CPU is T5550

    1. Does any of the CPU in both laptop soldered?
    2. Are they same socket?
    3. What should I use for TIM? (is using AS5 safe?)

    Thanks in advance.
