I purchased a alienware m14x maybe about 3-4 months ago, and I'm a speed demon and want more power now. The specs are as follows of my machine.
I7 2630QM 2.0Ghz
6GB Ram DDR3
500GB 7200RPM Drive
Nvidia Geforce Gt 555m
Here is what I'm thinking about a upgrade I want to get a
SSD Drive
Upgrade ram to 8gb of instead off 6gb
and switch my cpu to
Newegg.com - Intel Core i7-2720QM Sandy Bridge 2.2GHz (3.3GHz Turbo Boost) 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket G2 45W Quad-Core Mobile Processor Model BX80627i72720QM
I know the SSD is going to make a nice jump in speed, but with me upgrading my cpu should I get better FPS in games since its a quad instead of a dual? My graphics is integrated so I'm stuck on that.
