I hold a DELL studio 1555 laptop with T6600 Intel 2.20 GHz of processor. This baby hold 4gb of ram. But now as per my demand this configuration is getting low. I am unable to get that much juice from performance. I use this laptop for graphics and animation work. Due to some reason i am unable to purchase a new desktop or laptop. So practice sake i need to upgrade this laptop. Now i want to ask is it worth to upgrade the laptop.
i know i can upgrade the RAM upto 8GB,
but the issue is with the processor. I read in number of places that the processor can be upgraded but there may be some issues like overheating. But is nowhere written that it is risky and can't be done. Today i saw this page on intel website " http/www.cpu-upgrade.com/CPUs/Intel/Core_2_Duo_Mobile/T6600.html " (for T9900)
and bingo the socket is same. Now few technical questions, does the A13 BIOS support this processor, Can the laptop withstand the heat produced by this processor and last not least what are the cost and risks involved ?
