I have a Gateway NV53(a). I have had it sense new and its still like new. It currently has an Athlon II P320 CPU. I think this is the one of the slowest CPU's that was available for this computer. I am thinking about swapping the Athlon II P320 with a Phenom II N970. I know the N970 is 35W vs 25W for the P320 but the laptop could be bought with a N930 which is also 35W. Below is a link to the specs for this laptop. My question is do think the N970 will work? Or do I need the N930?
