I know how to replace my processor I'm just wondering what my other options are (If any.)
Any possibility of a quad-core? :rolleyes:

You better ask to a specialized forum...

You're welcome...:)

The place is a little messy sometimes as you've got to dig deep in search for your needs, but it is worth a try as people there are quite nice and full of tricks. I'm also registred down there!
