Upgrade options from A8-4500M?

[ranger9782]

Hi,

I bought a Asus K55N several months ago, it was a solid deal...Upgraded Ram and switched to an SSD, now considering upgrading the APU if possible.

Right now, the specs are:

8GB RAM, 240GB Intel SSD, Win 7 Pro...and the AMD A8-4500M APU (Quad, 1.9ghz), which comes with Radeon 7640G graphics.

Is there a compatible APU that I could upgrade to? More importantly, is it worth it? Will I see a performance increase as far as gaming?


Thanks

It looks like your limit is an A10-4600m. You would get some performance boost in games since the A10 has a better GPU.
