    Have an acer 9635G, was wondering if I can upgrade the stock P7350 to a T9400, since they make a 9635G model with that cpu, would the bios support it?, also would it support a P9500 since it uses 10 Watts less?

    Yes your current p7350 is very similar it is only 25 watts it just has less l2 cache and a slower clock speed thats it.

    Is that a yes for the P9500 or T9400 or both, T9400 uses 35 watts more but used in 9635G, while the P9500 is not but uses 25watts, lower is better.. :)

    Both will work, and yes, the P9500 would be better. Expect a lower battery lifetime if you put in the T9400.

    Don't expect too much battery life, maybe 10 min since the power consumption isn't much lower when idle/minimal stress.

    They only have very little differences, but the plain good news is that they both surely work with your system..
