Hey guys, my Asus was in a rather nasty accident, and since I'm stuck using my backup laptop, I've decided it needs a little extra power because well, i3.

I need some help in picking a replacement processor because I'm not entirely sure what's fully compatible with my system and I'm not a fan of wasting money on a processor that doesn't fit.

Current processor is a first-gen Intel Core i3 350M
Socket 989 rPGA
32nm - Arrandale
Voltage: 0.725–1.4 V
TDP: 35 W
Tjunction: 90°C

I'm not looking for something spectacularly powerful; I need something like a midrange i5 or low-end i7 if it's affordable.
