Hello everyone! And thanks for all answers in advance.
Recently I was surfing around looking at RAM upgrades for my laptop; when I stumbled upon some chatter about processor upgrades. The laptop in question is a Compaq Presario CQ56-115DX, and if you've ever seen the specs your eyes would probably start burning. I did some more checking, and to the best of my knowledge this upgrade is possible, and not too expensive. I would like to throw out the V140 that is in there and replace it with an N660; faster plus another core. In addition, I'd like to add an 8GB RAM upgrade. I know I will NEVER need that much power, but I'll pay the extra $20 or so to max out the RAM. So far, this upgrade looks like it will run me about $100 to $125, which in my opinion, is not bad. However, I'd like second opinions from the TF community. So what do you guys think? Worth it? Possible? Useful? All or none of the above?
Processor: AMD Phenom II N660 processor - HMN660DCR23GM
RAM: Computer memory upgrades for HP - Compaq Presario CQ56-115DX Laptop/Notebook from Crucial.com
