Strongest Dell vostro 3750 CPU

[Blitz Blitz]

Hi, i'm thinking upgrade this old laptop, maybe somebody can help? Now I have i5-2430m Cpu, it's good 2 core cpu, but I wanna upgrade it to strongest supported cpu. In market i found i7-2670qm, it's worth ~60$? But maybe is any stronger cpu?

that i5-2430m is a ppga988 socket chip the i7-2670qm is a fcpga988 socket cpu. the trick is the motherboard. see ppga988 cpus can work in the fcppga988 socket, so if the motherboard sports the fcpga988 socket then it's a valid upgrade

Thanks. How to check that? There is any stronger cpu than i7 - 2670QM, thats supports my motherboard? I tried find info with cpu-z, but don't know where to find it... My memory runs about ~600 mhz speed in cpu-z it's normal? :O
P.S. In cpu-z I found package: Socket rPGA988B.

I searched that model of laptop, the fastest chip dell shipped with that model was the i7-2360QM; which means it will likely support the i7-2670qm (same socket). That said I wouldn't suggest you get anything more then the i7-2360qm, as it's unlikely the bios will support it, as dell is known for their expansion limited equipment.
