a) laptops are very fiddly to dismantle (and reassemble) you could well end up damaging a cable the first time around they are very delicate
b) you will only get a marginal improvement and
c) may well run into problems with the greater heat produced by the CPU as the cooling system in the laptop is quite critical e.g. you may find the cooling fan runs all the time making it irritating
You would probably get more improvement by ensuring your RAM is maximised and disk is defraggedHow do i change the cpu in my laptop?To change the CPU will involve taking the laptop to bits; Dells are relatively easy to deconstruct but great care must be taken. It not a job for the novice. Generally, it is not a good idea to upgrade the CPU on a laptop as the speed increase is not worth the expense of changing the chip. So in conclusion I would not recommend changing the CPU as at best it will give you a small speed increase but at worst may be very expensive if you damage the motherboard requiring a repair http://www.trilogicuk.co.uk
