Thread Starter 
here is my concern I have an aspire 5515 it came with a amd athlon single core 2650e clocked to 1.60 ghz 3 gig of ram vista 32 bit and a built in ati radeon x1200.
i’ve been researching and discover that my board uses a s1 socket and that the board and the version of the bios will support a turion x2 processor ive been looking to see if anybody has done this and theres some people that claim they swap the athlon for an athlon x2 but the original processor only uses about 15 watts and the one that they claim to change was 55 watts soo i dont think thats true im looking at a turion x2 tl66 2.3 ghz running at 35 watts will this work and will the power supply handle the difference and will the temperature be ok thaks for looking and hope anybody has something to say to me thanks


ohhh and i want to do this for gaming will the 2650e single core at 1.60 for the turion 64 x2 2.3 will it be a worth upgrade ?? will i see a much better performance thanks

With most gamers, its not the processor that lets them down, its the GPU (graphics chip). Hopefully someone will be along to answer your processor concerns

I agree with Saugen in this.

You might want to browse the Gateway Section; we have users successfully upgraded the 2650e. Though I am not sure that they have confirmed any gains after extended usage.

cheers ....

your board actually uses a AM2 desktop socket. technically, any AM2 processor will work. However, I would not recommend any cpu with a TDP of 25Watts or higher. I have hear someone put a 45W cpu in it and it work, however always keep an eye on temps.

I upgrades mine to A dual core 4050e and it runs like A scalded cat now. I also put A 7200 rpm hard drive in. Its not very hard to work on, the only trick is getting the socket bar/lock up because there is A cross brace in the way.
