Hi,

 

There is a document called  Maintenance and Service Guide on the following link (the last one):

 

     http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Pavilion-g6-Notebook-PC-series/5046257/model/5091294/manuals

 

  1. CPU: Your machine currently has 2.53 GHz Intel Core i3-380M CPU. You can upgrade using CPU's under  Intel® Previous Generation column. Page 79 shows you part number and how to replace CPU.
  2. RAM: Your machine currently has 3GB of RAM (2GB+1GB) and from information on page 3, you can get up to 8GB (4GB+4GB). Page 51 shows you part number and how to replace RAM.

Regards.

So the Intel i5 480m is the best cpu that i can install. I think that is not worth, because I won't feel a huge different. 

Thanks for Your response.
