Upgrades for Laptops - Where did it go ?

I came across a Quad Core CPU that I could put into my Laptop my current options are only a 2.8 Dual Core ( which really is pretty good, if it's my absolute only option) I found the QuadCore for my laptop, a few months later the CPU was no where to be found. I looked and looked and looked. Does anyone know where you can find a range of brand new Laptop CPU specifically Socket P in North America ?

I'd also like to point out someone else, watch out if you buy a laptop that mentions that the RAM can be upgraded to high amounts because my finding is that that it's extremely hard to find RAM SO-DIMMS in higher then 2 Gig Denominations specifically in North America, I think it is a conspiracy whether you believe it or not.

 

Processors: Newegg.com - Processor, CPU, AMD Athlon 64, Athlon X2, Phenom, Sempron, Intel Pentium, Celeron, Core Duo, Quad-Core
Memory: Newegg.com - Computer Hardware,Memory,Laptop Memory,4GB

Socket P is outdated. It's going to be harder and harder to find brand new Socket P processors. 4GB DIMMs are everywhere, I don't know how you could have a hard time finding them.

 

There are lots of socket P processors on eBay.

 

Make sure your laptop supports Quads also. Just because the socket is the same doesn't mean a quad will work.

 

Socket P is a little outdated but not by much comparing it with i3, i5. I wouldn't use that term as loose. Besides all those CPU on NewEgg I already know, there is no Quad on that list any more.

I don't prefer to shop eBay.

 

Then be prepared to pay significantly more. I've bought several CPUs on eBay and never had a problem with any of them.

 

Me too, I buy processors on eBay all the time. Its a lot cheaper than Newegg.

 

I'll give eBay another try.
