    Hi all,

    I have an opporunity to upgrade to a i5-520m or possibily i5-540m system instead of a T9600. Which one would you recommend? I already have a T9600.

    How are you upgrading it? Well I would go with the i5 if I could. I hear it is more efficient and plus it is the latest technology so it should have a long life ahead of it as far as support. Wish I could upgrade my T9550
