    Hey, it is nearly 2 years now that Im using FZ38M lappy and decided to upgrade it, but cant go so far while im lack of some bits of information. So any useful tips would be helpful for me.
    1st of all CPU upgrade...

    while 5.1 stands here, considering T9300, but again, dont know about my lappy support for that big CPU. Problem could be if I install T9300 which is 300$ nowdays im afraid that ONLY BIOS wont recognise it while chipset and rev are ok.

    2nd thing is that I found out some switch dip underkeyboard layout, but couldnt find anything useful about it, take a look bottom (original settings).

    As well experiencing issues like noisy fan after BIOS battery removal, cannot/impossible find any BIOS upgrade which is 2 years old now.

    Recently enabled Intel VT.
    Does anyone have this laptop with any upgrades, like BIOS, better CPU etc.
    Any advice/suggestion would be appreciated, thanks. :)
