It actually mentions swapping with T8100 so would that be my best bet?

A thread on notebookreview mentions it could work but only briefly. I'm aware that gaming performance wont be increased much but a T9300 is about £45 and i'd like to just see if I could improve what i have before deciding to replace my laptop.

I have an Advent Roma 3000 Laptop with a T4300 processor and was wondering if i could upgrade to a T9300 and if not what CPU would make a decent upgrade because the T4300 isn't as good as what it used to be. CPU-Z screenshots incase they help

Another heads up is you may need to remove a drive slot in that case to make room for the grapics card. It's simple enough to do but it's easy to over look when fitting in the graphics card.

oh and since it's your first build I'll tell you. you are going to need 2.5" to 3.5" brackets for the HDD and SSD if they come without
