Processor upgrade Options for Inspiron n5010
Hello,
I have a kind of ancient Dell Inspiron n5010, The specifications are as follows:
- Processor: Intel Core i3 M330 @2.13 GHz.
- Motherboard: Dell OWXY9J.
- BIOS Version: Dell A02, 4/9/2010.
- SMBIOS Version: 2.6
- Installed RAM: 2 GB.
So I don't want to throw it away, I know that I can buy 2x4 GB RAM DDR3 which is available where I am living (Dubai), what I need to know which processor I can buy for the above mentioned specifications? Core i5? i7?
Any help will be much appreciated.

First-generation Core i5 or i7 only - and with the i7, ONLY the dual core.
Nothing newer. I7-620m or 640m are the two fastest.
