    If you're looking for a performance boost, upgrading to a SSD is more likely to provide it.

    If you're willing to invest that kind of money just to upgrade the CPU (which might not even be possible), just sell the notebook you have and combine those funds with your upgrade budget to buy a new machine with a better processor. It's more cost effective to get a better CPU at time of original purchase than to upgrade it down the road.
