Hi to the forum,

I have just been given an old Alienware laptop M15x i3 CPU M370 @ 2.40GHZ, it looks as good as new but is just a bit too slow to be useful as it stands.

I have just put a 240gb ssd in and have ordered another 4gb of ram to take it up to the max of 8gb, put a clean copy of win 10 pro on and all drivers apart from accelerometer are installed (including keyboard lights in rainbow).

I would like to use it for general internet browsing and office stuff (no heavy games).

My question is what is the fastest CPU I can put in this old beast to give it a few more years of life.

Many thanks

Would this fit?
