Dell Studio 17 cpu upgrade

[goron2000]

Hey guys,
So i've had a Dell studio 1735 with a intel dual core 2.1Ghz processor for a few months now and i read in another thread on here that upgrading is possible but it did not mention what cpu's were compatible.

i also have a radeon HD 3650m Gpu and was wondering if that could be upgraded although pretty sure it's not possible thought i'd just check.

So anyway my question is what cpu's are compatible with my system? and if a GPU upgrade is possible?

Thanks

no chance for the gpu as it's soldered on board the motherboard

as for the cpu if you download and run a little program called cpu-z to give me a bit more info on the cpu you have then i could give you a better answer

just done a bit of research and it looks like the best cpu you could is a T7800
here's the comparisons
http://ark.intel.com/Compare.aspx?i...761,27256,29760,31728,27255,29759,35581,33915,

thats the one i would go for and it should all work fine

if you want to chance it you could go for this
Intel® Core™2 Extreme Processor X7800 (4M Cache, 2.60 GHz, 800 MHz FSB) with SPEC Code(s) SLA6Z
which should work but i'm not 100% sure if the laptop could cope with the power drain

or you could just go safe and go for the 2.4 ghz

all down to you but as it's only a few months old i would leave it til the warranty has run out or you will void the it
