    Hello all, I have a Toshiba L305-5915 that I got for christmas from wally world. I bought it for school, but the upgrade bug bit me and I started to research cheap ways to make the laptop a little more snappy. I have already installed more ram and that helped a little.

    Last night, I bought an Intel T3400 processor after reading that it would work with my GL40 chipset. I also purchased a 320gb 7200rpm drive. Question is, how hard is it to replace the processor in a Toshiba laptop? Thanks in advance.
