    Hello guys :) I was wondering what are my options for upgrading my processor. Currently I have an AMD Athlon 64x2 Processor, but it only has 1.2Ghz : (. I was wondering what my options were for upgrading to a better processor, as I've searched this processor but haven't found much infor on it. Any and all help highly appreciated. ^^, and here's some of my notebooks specs in case it helps ^^. Acer Aspire 5534-1096 GPU: ATI Radeon HD 3200, 4 Gb Ram, 250 Gb HD

    what's the model of the cpu? Maybe the Athlon64 x2 L310? It's not very powerful but it has atdp of only 13w; i think that if you want to upgrade you can swap almost any socket S1 processor in it

    Yeah that's the model of the CPU. So you think I can swap it with any Socket S1 processor? Ok cool, I'll go and search for one. Thanks for the help.
