    A decade old notebook? There is nothing to upgrade in there.

    A watch has more processing power today. ;)

    The single thread rating of your T1350 is higher (~14%) but the multithread rating is over 3x better (308% faster).

    Windows XP, DX9, Calistoga Graphics, single core compute performance and is that the original BIOS version? Don't spend more time than you already have typing in your request here.

    Save your $$$ and put it towards anything more modern instead.

    +1. Best upgrade you can do is install Linux Mint on it.
