g6 CPU Upgrade

[mikejfm]

I have upgraded my g6 Laptop from the original i3-2330M CPU to the i7-2620M (per the maint. manual). The performance now seems worse however. Is there anything else I need to do or was this new CPU not compatible with my machine?

I did upgrade with an i7-2620M. I previously had 6 MB RAM and an SSD but still see a slow down compared to the i3.

i3s came out after the i7. remember these are the first generations of theses cpus so you wont expect much out from it.

So basically your fastest processor in that listing is the i5-2450m.Sorry i typed this in bold
