[Rasty17]

Hello guys

I´ve got HP Pavilion DV7 2185dx and I would like to upgrade processor and ram but I dont know what´s the maximum what I can use. I found the number on motherboard 516294-001. When we talking about RAM is probably 8GB but I cannot find anything about processor right now is there 2.00Ghz Intel Centrino 2 Processor Technology featuring Intel Core2 Quad Processor Q9000 and 4 GB Ram cause one I lost but Im gonna buy spare one soon.  Only thing is that I dont know what processor I have to buy or how "big". If you could kindly help me with this issue I will appraciate that. 

Wishing good day.

Best Regards
Rasty
