Need help with Upgrade CPU for Emachines e627

[Goral]

so im a bit tired of this cpu what i have wich is AMD Athlon tf-20 1.6ghz its rly slow when im browsing internet but when im playing some sort of games its just a lil bit laggy but i cant run for example Minecraft .. so i want to upgrade it to at least 2.0/2.4 ghz If its possible of course !

I am not really good with all this and i dont realy know what will be compatible with my laptop but i was searching a bit of net and i found that i cud run AMD V Series V160 2.4 ghz or any AMD socket 1 CPUs , i dont want to pay loads for a cpu , i just want it to run it a bit more smoother! When i bought it i have asked to put +3gb ram so i got 4gb ram right now ..

So please can you give me some kind of advice what type and kind i cud buy it in a range of 50£/70$

thanks!

I recommend you read the top of this page:
http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K8/AMD-Athlon%2064%20TF-20%20-%20AMGTF20HAX4DN.html

You can likely find a Turion X2 TL-60 for reasonable cost. It will give a good performance increase.

It depends if the notebook maker used a cooling system that can prevent overheat with 35W processors (the TF-20 is only 15W of power). If you want to be certain the cooler is sufficient, then find and look in the maintenance manual for your notebook. It will include a list of compatible processors.

Of course, if you can find TL-64 or TL-66 for a good price, then those are even better than TL-60.

EDIT: I found the maintenance manual here:
http://tim.id.au/laptops/acer/emachines%20e627.pdf

The notebook was sold with the Athlon TF-20 and Athlon X2 TK-42 (20W power) processors. So you can be sure the cooler will be good with TK-42; but unsure if the cooler is adequate for the 35W TL- series processors.

Hi, i pimped mine e627 to 4gb and to the tl 60. its perfectly working and the performance is great. For both i spended around 40 € and it is a good investment ...
