Laptop Upgrade

I have a dell Inspiron 8000 laptop.

Its a P3 1ghz processor and im wondering how much it would cost to upgrade to atleast a P4 1.6ghz processor.

Help please, I need to know ASAP.

it depends, you might be able to upgrade yours because of the laptops motherboard

Well, my limited knowledge of laptops suggests that upgrading them is very difficult.

Upgrading processors anytime is at least a little difficult as you have to know that your mobo has the right connection for your new processor.

If you have to get a new mobo and processor for your laptop, I'd reccomend just getting a new one. It's expensive to buy separate parts for laptops from what I've seen.

laptops are just expensive, since he said you should buy another one too, i would just get a desktop man

Hmm. Well. Firt check what's integrated on yoru laptop. On mine. I have an integrated vid card. So to replace my processor, id have to chage that, the mobo, the vid card, and then find a new mobo/vid card that will fit in my confined space. Get a new laptop if anything. Desktops are better for gaming though, so if your buying to play games, get one of those.
