Hello everyone, this is my first post and apologize if I'm posting in the wrong category.
Recently my daily driver Sony VAIO laptop completely died on me, CPU got fried, motherboard got fried, almost everything just went dead.
So I found another old Sony VAIO laptop that was sitting there for years, I thought why not use it till I get a new laptop, but what suprised me is the CPU is Intel core 2 duo P8400 and I am a heavy multi tasker and also I program;
so I went searching for a quad core CPU that could be compatible with my laptop and I found both Intel core 2 quad Q9100 and Q9000 both used for 25-35$
Is it worth investing my money on an old laptop that I may use for couple months? (Maybe years if the laptop holds well.) Also will I face any problems or compatibility problems?
Thanks.
