C2d T5750

Thanks to the awesome credit of my Girlfriend(mines horrible) i was able to get myself a 1530 I didnt want to run it all up so being that all i really be doing is blogging surfing and play WoW and maybe a few other games I selected the lowest end proc they had the T5750.

Ive been lurking the site for a few days reading posts and it seems that most of you have the higher end procs. Did i make a big mistake in selecting the T5750? Or do you think it will be fine for what plan to do.

Edit: Another quick question. Do I actually receive a copy of Vista or is it a "Dell" version or restore disc?

 

you recieve a copy of vista with the laptop.
I believe your processor is too old and not fast enough.
By getting the new generation of procesors, you will have a much faster computer and a better energy efficiency.

 

Is it even possible to upgrade once the laptop has been built?

 

the T5750 is by far fast enough for blogging and WoW.

 

So can anyone tell me if it is at all possible to have dell upgrade your proc. should i decided to upgrade at a later time?

 

I would say it's not possible. Not because it can't be done... Attempting to get Dell to upgrade your CPU will be time consuming and will most likely result in a waste of time.

Should you decide to upgrade your CPU at a later time you should be able to pickup a compatible CPU on ebay for little money and do the upgrade yourself. It's not that difficult and Dell does provide the service manuals online.

 

yah TBH its not that i cant do it, my fear is just voiding my warranty. and the last thing i want to do is void it on a laptop with a nVidia GPU
