Ok my girlfriend has an acer aspire 5517 with an amd Athlon TF-20 socket S1 (g1) processor, at 1.60 GHz. This is a single core processor. The other processor offered on this model when new was an Athlon TK-42 dual core.
I am looking to put in an AMD Turion 64 X2 Mobile TL-60 which is also a socket s1 processor, and is a dual core at 2.0 GHz. I'm not sure but believe it is on the S1( G1) but might be one of the later generations.
I also can't find out much about the mother board in this notebook. What are my odds of motherboard support?
I understand the faster dual core will be likely to battery drain much more quickly but it spends little time actually on batteries, and she likes most everything else about the laptop besides that its "slow and can only really run one program at a time." Which I am putting down to the slower single core on it
