Hey, i decided to take a look at my old 2012 laptop. It wasn't working as i wanted it to work, so i decided to dive in. First i installed fresh version of windows. That already helped a lot. Then i noticed fan spins a lot and fast and cpu is quite hot under idle. So i decided to open it and clean the dust. And there was a lot of dust but then i said to myself: "why not do a complete refresh". I saw i have 1 stick of 4gb ddr3 RAM in there with 1 free slot and that the CPU can be replaced. So i'll do that. Add 1 more stick of RAM and new CPU.
My question is: What do i have to be careful about?
I saw i have socket G2 and wiki article has listed CPUs with that socket. I thought about going from i3 2330m to i5 2520m.
Is there anything else i should be worried about except the socket match?
