I have a Toshiba qosmio x505 Q860 laptop with an i5 M430 2.27GHz CPU.
The documentation for the chipset (MP55) is here: http://www.intel.com/Products/Notebook/Chipsets/PM55/PM55-overview.htm
IT says that my chipset supports i7 extreme.
1. Can I physically upgrade the CPU? There is any slot to remove the old one?
2. Can I replace the old CPU with an i7 or i7 Extreme?
3. Will I see a substantial speed improvement?
Many thanks.
