    Hello,
    I have a Gateway NV52L23u Laptop with an A8-4500m APU. I have 6gb of ram and a 1tb hdd. The gateway support page lists the A10-4600M as an upgrade possibility. Would the A8-5550m or the A10-5750m work in my system? They both use the same socket as the A10-4600m. Also the bios hasn't been updated by Gateway since 10/18/2013, and it states"BIOS - UEFI for Windows 8 (Not for Upgrades)". And they do not include a readme with what has been changed, just the bios. So as of now i dont think the cpu's are part of the bios, but was wondering if they would work because their close to what is supported? Does anyone have the same system?

    Thanks
    Ben
