    I have an Acer 3002LCI notebook with AMD 2800+ Sempron processor. The battery life sucks (about 45 minutes or less). Will upgrading to a Turion processor help the battery life noticeably? I can get a Turion ML-28 1.6 GHz for about $40. A bigger battery, on the other hand, is about $80+ from what I can find. I'd be willing to upgrade the CPU if you guys think it'd help. Also, if it was any faster, that'd just be icing on my laptop cake.
