processors compatibility with a g7 notebook chip set

i currently have a hp pavilion g7 notebook with a pentium processor that is running off of windows seven. i recently started playing PC games and i now desire to upgrade my laptop so that the games run faster and a bit smoother. i was hoping that upgrading my processor might allow me to do that but i am not entirely sure. i figured that my video card which is a intel (R) HD graphics family was sufficient for what i wanted to do. okay so to generalize i was hoping to see if anyone could tell me a processor that would be compatible or simply how i could run games more smoothly

Re: processors compatibility with a g7 notebook chip set

Hi,

 

G7 is a series of dozens models, what is yours ? Anyway, the following book shows you supported CPU's from day 1. Normally games run better with more powerful GPU and you can not upgrade GPU for your laptop.

Re: processors compatibility with a g7 notebook chip set

im not sure of the version but i think it is an insydeH20 version 03.61.01f.63. and im not sure if it makes a difernce but when i run games it uses up almost 100 % of my processing power so i figured that would sovle the problem
