    Considering that the FSB on your computer MOBO is limited to 800Mhz, you're probably not going to get the full effect of that processor. About the max I've seen for our X205's is either the X9000 or the T9300. I went with a 9300 and I am very happy with it, and it's $280 cheaper than that one too although Newegg always seemed to be out of them, I ordered mine through Compuvest instead.

    You can get the T9500 if you wanted to but the X9000 is the maximum you can throw in there.

    how do you upgrade the processor? did yall do it yourselves? Is there a place that'll do it for me cause I sure don't want to try on my own. And if there is a place that'll do it how much will the total cost be with the t9300?

    Cost will depend on who you have do it and how much you end up paying for the labor and parts. I did mine myself using the disassembly guide that Jesse6somethingorother posted up on the board. You'll need to find a place local to you to get quotes from if you don't want to do it yourself, I'd estimate somewhere in the neighborhood of $500 or so probably. Processor is $319 from Newegg.
