***This is my current setup of my laptop***
DELL INSPRION 1545
HD: 150GB
MEMORY: 3GB
PROCESSOR: INTEL(R) 2.16GHZ (Celeron)
32BIT OS

if i upgrade my ram 6-8gb, 64bit OS, and i5 processor would it help?

Cause i do alot of software, and graphic development projects. Lately i have experience that my laptop is travelling at snail pace, and im unable to multi-task.

2) im also experiencing difficulty with the keyboard, i recently replaced it but it seem to me it was not helpful.

When i type in a key it will repeat it self non-stop until i double press on that key.


It would be much appreciated if you could help me solve this problem.
Thanks
 


I thought of using this processor
Intel Core i5 4670K 3.5 GHz Processor

What do you think?
 
Ahh the devils canyon! I believe is a great choice. Great for all including multitasking, gaming and graphic design and development in your case.
Although you may want to look at upgrading your ram also. I would think maybe another 2-4 gb would do the trick!
I hope this helps you out

I checked yesterday, and i asked a few people about it. They say it cannot be done. So i have dropped the idea of repairing my laptop.
