I've been sorting out a laptop for one of the ladies at work (virus issues)
The Laptop is an Asus X58L http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=sIyltiuq3sE6NBuf it's really nice looking but rather slow.
At first I thought there was still some issue being caused by viruses, however she said it's always been a bit slow, so a quick double check.
2ghz single core celeron 575 http://processorfinder.intel.com/det...px?sSpec=SLB6M
and only 1gb ddr2 677mhz single stick, trying to run vista![]()
So I'm thinking a new cpu and some more memory would be a good idea.
With a bit of digging around I can get hold of a c2d t5800 http://processorfinder.intel.com/det...px?sSpec=SLB6E for £30
and another SO-DIMM 1gb ddr2 677mhz memory stick for £15
She thinks £45 to try to get a bit more ommph out of this laptop is a fair amount. (and so do I)
However before I go and order these, I just want to double check that this is a sane idea.
I went for the c2d t5800 as it's on the cpu list for that model so has the best chance of working, or am I missing a major compatibility issue?

I might of got confused with the T5850 (but I can only find that new for £88)
