Changing inspiron 1545 cpu
Hello, i have dell inspiron 1545 running on debian linux q4os with these specs:
Intel celeron 585 30w
4gb ram
So i wanted to change to intel core 2 duo t9400 35w, is it compatible with this laptop i heard some people on dell forums talking that it worked but i just want to make sure
Any help?

Yes, that CPU will work with your system. Adding RAM to the 8G max would be another good idea.
Unless you know the CPU is holding the system back, if you have to choose one or the other, the memory will make a greater difference than the CPU will -- particularly if the system is running a conventional spinning hard drive.

@ejn63 i mean the cpu is single core, dual core will make huge difference since my cpu always bottle up to 100%
Ram wise i am using linux so it uses about 200mb from ram
