Dell Studio 17 1749 CPU Upgrade

Question

I have a Dell Studio 17 1749 which has a Intel i3 -M350 I was wondering can I put a i7 in this laptop?   Thank you Todd

From the same first-generation series of Core i7s, yes.  The i7 620m was shipped with these -- bear in mind if you have slower RAM (below 1333 MHz) you will also need to upgrade the memory.

Thank you so I will put some DDR3 PC3-10600 1333MHz  into it  thank you

Anything more than 1333 will simply downclock to that speed with an i7 CPU.  Be careful buying DDR3 memory - there are plenty of newer modules that will not work with a system this old.

would a i5   3230m work? and save on battery power or does using a i5 or i7 make no difference between the battery power

tj8799 · Answer

actually looking at technical.city   says the 15 3230m will out perform the i7-620

That CPU won't work - it's three generations newer than the Studio system will support.
