what brand of processor should i get AMD or Intel? and which type of it should i get?I want to change my processor?Contact Upgrade-solutions.com and they can advise what you can get, and they have great prices. Its best to contact them by phone, and then they can also help with how to upgrade the Motherboard you have, or advise if a new Motherboard is needed for what you wantI want to change my processor?It is very unlikely that the processor can be upgraded. Laptops often have the processor mounted directly on the motherboard rather than in a socket and the motherboard and BIOS usually only support one specific processor. Your best chance of upgrading it is if the same model of laptop is available with a faster processor and even then you may need to buy a new motherboard as well.I want to change my processor?You will have to get another AMD or you'll need to swap out your mother board too, they are NOT interchangeable. See what socket your turion uses, go on line to an etailer (Newegg recommended) and find one for your socket and motherboard which suits you. AMD has some good video instruction on their site to help you on the replacement. If you have little experience in this, I would say take it to a repair shop.I want to change my processor?I don't know where to begin with this question. I guess I'll start at the end. AMD or Intel. I don't even know why that should be a consideration because you can't use Intel processors on an AMD motherboard so you HAVE to get an AMD processor. You'll also most likely have to get a mobile processor. This is not true for all laptops but it is true for most. Laptop processor slots can be different from their desktop counterparts when they are using a mobile processor, like yours is. The first step would be to determine what slot you have, CPUz, will tell you that, http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php once you know that you can go looking for a new processor.



Note, I'm still not saying that you will be able to upgrade it, you'll have to open it up in order to find that out to see what kind of locking mechanism it has.



What type, depends on the slot and motherboard. Whether or not it can support a dual core Turion or not. CPUz can tell you that also, as long as you are willing to do some digging for information about your motherboard online once you know what motherboard you have.



Even if it can support a desktop processor, I do not recommend that because it will use more power, which doesn't seem to be a concern and it will generate more heat, which could be a problem.



And, you CAN'T change the motherboard on a laptop.I want to change my processor?You probably can't. Laptops aren't designed to be upgraded so this kind of change isn't likely to be feasible.



Plus, even if it was possible, mobile processors are bugger all to do with the amount of travelling you do and all to do with the amount of heat they generate. A desktop CPU can assume that it'll get a certain amount of active cooling in the sort of 'roomy' cases desktop machine come in, but there's no possibility for the same thing in a tiny little laptop case so the processors are specifically designed to generate as little heat as possible. So, even if you did somehow manage to find a way to stick a desktop CPU in a laptop motherboard the thing would likely fry completely within hours and knacker the entire laptop while it was about it.I want to change my processor?Here is your answer. Don't touch the laptop. Buy a desktop to be a gaming machine. When it is all said and done laptops generally aren't made for gaming unless you drop about $3,000.
