Hi i was wondering if i could upgrade my laptop's CPU
i wanted to upgrade my laptop's CPU to one of this:
Intel Core i5-2450M @ 2.50GHz
Intel Pentium processor B960
Intel Core i3-2350M Processor
is it compatible on my laptop? and which CPU is best for Gaming?

Here are my specs for my laptop

CPU Socket: 988B rPGA
MotherBoard Chipset: Intel Sandy Bridge
CPU: Intel Celeron B820 @ 1.70GHz

BIOS Brand: Insyde Corp ver. 6.80

Please reply back ASP
Thank You

Your Celeron B820 is socket FCPGA988, so it's NOT soldered. My laptop has the same socket and I was able to upgrade the Pentium B960 in my Asus x54c to an i5 2450M, then again to an i7 2670qm.

No you can't upgrade it since the CPU is soldered into the motherboard.

That video show the CPU cooler being removed, not the CPU.
That said, I don't believe your chip is soldered, but you biggest issue will be what processor Toshiba'a bios supports,
as that will be the limiting factor.

The socket, while the same, doesn't guarantee other processors will work,
OEM's (Toshiba, Dell, HP) generally have bios' on the motherboards that only support a small selection of CPU's.

The other issue you'll have for games, is your graphics, very low end & not upgradeable.

With the limited graphics you have, the CPU will not make much of a difference.
Part will depend on what game)
BUT again, the mobo bios will probably limit what cpu you can use, regardless of the socket being the same.

Sandy Bridge Processors have Intel Graphics in them, right?

While they do have graphics in them, depending on the models you can upgrade to, the graphics may not be much of an upgrade,
even the latest Intel graphics are not exactly 'gaming ' graphics.
