Hi,

I've been given an old Acer Aspire 8935g laptop (the real monster 18.4" screen) to fix and upgrade.

I've replaced the graphics card which was dead, but I've been asked to make the machine as fast as I can.
Now bearing in mind that if any games are played on this they will old games (probably very old) most of the time it will be used for office work, web browsing, movie playing and maybe some very light (and occasional) movie encoding.

Having done some research, it seems that the fastest processors that will work in this machine (with any certainty) are the T9900 @ 3.06GHz and the Q9100 @ 2.26 GHz.

So, which is likely to be fastest one to use?

I don't want to have to change it more than once as you have to totally dismantle the entire machine to get to it.

What are your thoughts on this please?
Cheers!
