New processor for my notebook.?
I want to upgrade my laptop's processor for me able to play better with massive games like GTA IV, because i only got 16 - 21 fps when playing with high settings. Now, I don't know what processor can be replace for my laptop because, I really lack in knowledge about computers. And also, I don't know if my laptop's processor can be replaced or not because i red some forums that some laptops cannot be replaced by new processors. So my laptop specs are:
Model: Acer Aspire 5741 ZG
CPU: Intel Pentium P6000 1.86 Ghz
GPU: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 512 MB
RAM: 4GB DDR3
MOTHERBOARD: Acer Aspire 5741 ZG (according to Everest)
*I'm ready to spend at least 5000 Philippine Peso (almost 120 dollars). So, is there something better processor than what I have before but suites to my laptop?

laptop upgrade parts
Generally In laptop You cant upgrade Graphics card Or Processor You can upgrade Only Ram Or hard disk
If you have ever bought a laptop computer and have wondered whether you could upgrade the parts inside of it, the short answer is "maybe." Because laptops are custom-made by their manufacturers, whether you can upgrade the parts inside of them depends largely on whether the manufacturers offer parts upgrades for sale to end-users or whether the parts you want to upgrade are standard parts that don't change regardless of the computer they are installed in.
Typically Upgradeable Laptop Parts
While laptops have a certain number of parts that are custom-made, there are some that aren't and which are usually upgradeable by the end-user. These parts include the hard drive and the RAM (Random Access Memory). Hard drives for laptops come in one standard size (2.5 inches), and you are usually able to access the hard drive on a laptop by removing a few screws on the bottom of the computer. Once the hard drive is removed, you can replace it with a larger one, reinstall your operating system and utilize the increase in size immediately. You can also replace the RAM in your laptop in a similar manner, though sometimes replacing the RAM requires that you remove the keyboard from the laptop to access it. Adding additional RAM can make your laptop run faster; though, beware of trying to install too much RAM in your laptop, as laptop motherboards can only handle a certain amount. This amount varies depending on the make and model of your computer. Check with your computer manufacturer before attempting to add more RAM to your machine.
Typically Non-Upgradeable Laptop Parts
Among the list of laptop parts that are not usually upgradeable unless the manufacturer has explicitly made them so are video cards, CPUs, sound cards and motherboards. These parts are usually custom-designed so that they fit into their particular laptop chassis, so you can't just go out and purchase a standard part and upgrade them. You would have to contact the manufacturer and attempt to purchase these types of parts for your specific laptop model if you wanted to upgrade them. Video cards are more commonly upgradeable than the other parts, however, especially on high-performance gaming machines where the video cards are physically separate from the motherboard instead of being integrated into it.

Can't be done. With laptops you get what you pay for. The only thing you can upgrade is add ram or a bigger hard drive. If you want to run high end games you either pay excessive amounts of money for something like an alienware or you buy a desktop. (but you're one of the "cool kids" because you have a laptop)

this is accessible yet complicated. you would possibly want to stumble on a processor that suits the motherboard, and also that suits the spacial dimensions that it may fit in. except you're making a sparkling case on your pc. i did yet no longer to in high-quality condition more advantageous ideal hardware, i made a sparkling carbon fibre case for my pc jst cuz carbon fibre looks astounding!
