Dell Vostro 1540

Hi All, 

I wanted to upgrade the processor for my dell vostro 1540 laptop
and I don’t know the LGA type

and I don’t know if core i3 is compatible with my laptop

because I am upgrading celeron to core i3 

what hard drive does it works with

First generation Core i -- Celeron, i3 and i5 CPUs.  i5-480 would be the fastest.  These are PGA988 but must be first-generation Core i -- not the later generations, even if the socket type is the same.  These never shipped with Core i7 CPUs.

One SATA hard drive or SSD (2.5").
