    Hello all, looking to upgrade my i5-2467m cpu to something with a little more power. Any suggestions? I've been looking at the i7-2649M with the following specs:

    Series Intel Core i7
    Codename Sandy Bridge
    Clock Rate 2300 - 3200 MHz
    Level 1 Cache 128 KB
    Level 2 Cache 512 KB
    Level 3 Cache 4096 KB
    Number of Cores / Threads 2 / 4
    Max. Power Consumption (TDP = Thermal Design Power) 25 Watt
    Transistor Count 624 Million
    Manufacturing Technology 32 nm
    Die Size 149 mm2
    Max. Temperature 100 °C
    Socket BGA1023
    Features HD Graphics 3000 500-1100MHz, integrated DDR3-1333 memory controller, Virtualization, Trusted Execution, Hyper-Threading, Turbo Boost 2.0
    64 Bit 64 Bit support
    Hardware Virtualization VT-x
    Announcement Date 01/03/2011

    It does have a 25w TDP compared to the 17w TDP that my i5-2467m uses. Would this work? The increase in the clock speeds appeals to me. also any better suggestions?
