Hi,

 

I can't find the full specs of your computer:

 

    http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Pavilion-g4-Notebook-PC-series/5186805/model/5374496/product-...

 

But I can reply here using information from other G4 computer:

 

(a) For CPU: you need to replace the motherboard too and this is a very expensive upgrade. Please read the third manual on the following link (page 84):

 

     http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Pavilion-g4-Notebook-PC-series/5186805/model/5374496/manuals

 

(b) Definitely a No, you can't up to 90% of laptops can't do this part, including yours.

 

Regards.

HP Recommended

Hi,

 

There is a manual called Maintenance and Service Guide  on the above link. It tells you (on page 5) how much RAM you can install:

 

Supports the following configurations:
● 8192-MB total system memory (4096×2; not supported with Windows® 7 32-bit operating system)
● 6144-MB total system memory (4096×1 + 2048×1)

● 4096-MB total system memory (4096×1 or 2048×2)
● 3072-MB total system memory (2048×1 + 1024×1)
● 2048-MB total system memory (2048×1 or 1024×2)
● 1024-MB total system memory (1024×1; not supported with Windows 7 64- or 32-bit operating system)

 

It also shows you part number and how to add/replace RAM on page #53.

 

Regards.
