    What processors will my Toshiba Satellite® L305-S5921 support?

    Here is a link to this other forum where I didn't really get all the answer's.
    this way you can take a look and I don't need to bother typing it all or copy/paste. Thank you.

    The guy in the other thread, it is funny how I already said in my post that I was planning to put 4gb ram (which is max) and a bigger faster hard drive in there and basicly that was all he had to recommend. So yeah ,I'm already planning to do that. What I need to know is which processor's will work.

    Download and run CPU-Z
    Go to the "Mainboard" tab.
    Post the "Chipset" and "Southbridge"

    According to this page, it supports up to FSB 800MHz.

    This thread indicates that a T9300 may work with a GL40 based laptop. However, there's a possibility that the BIOS may not support it.

    There have been many NotebookReview forum users that have safely upgraded to a T3400.

    Best Buy has the L305-S5955 for $299. That's netbook pricing in a value laptop. Battery life is mediocre and it's a Celeron, but now that I know I can upgrade the proc, I may have to give it a whirl.
