What is the installed processor?
If you have the Intel Core i7-720QM processor installed, you can upgrade it to an Intel Core i7-820QM processor.
Ifyou already have the Intel Core i7-820QM processor installed, that is the best processor for your notebook's systemboard's chipset.
Here is the applicable Maintenence & Service guide for your notebook.
