Hi:

According to the service manual, chapter 1, page 1 you can upgrade to the 3530MX

Chapter 3 does not indicate different heatsinks or fans for processors, since you already have the A6.

You dont happen to know where i could buy one of these do you?

[Paul_Tikkanen]

I do, but you aren't gonna like the cost...

Did you check on eBay?

I clicked the link you provided but couldnt seem to find the prices?

Sorry:

I can read it from here but I guess it doesn't save when I post.

Enter this part number in this link:

653364-001

You should see it is available and will set you back $256.50

Ive got aprox 158.863 USD to spend on a proccessor .. is that the only one available to upgrade to?

[Paul_Tikkanen]

Look at chapter 3 for the list of processors and part #'s, then enter any you are interested in at that link.

If you don't live in the USA, change the country at the top, and you will get the pricing and availability where you live.

Are the ones with MX at the end compatible with my motherboard?

Thanks.

[Paul_Tikkanen]

Yes, and so are the ones with the M (3500M for example).

Basically, as I see it, here are your 3 choices:

AMD A8-3530MX 2.60-GHz processor, (1.90-GHz FSB, 4.0-MB L2 cache,

quad core, 45 W) 653364-001

AMD A8-3510MX 2.50-GHz processor (1.80-GHz FSB, 4.0-MB L2 cache,

quad core, 45 W) 653358-001

AMD A8-3500M 2.40-GHz processor (1.50-GHz FSB, 4.0-MB L2 cache,

quad core, 35 W) 653350-001
