I want to upgrade my HP PAVILION G SERIES G6 laptop, but I don't know what parts will fit

Thank you for providing the product number, LM172AV! Based on your device, you should be able to upgrade to an Intel Core i5 CPU, which will definitely give you a performance boost. Make sure to check your motherboard’s compatibility with the specific i5 model you choose. Additionally, if you're considering enhancing your storage capabilities, you might want to look into an aa985 SCSI LVD External Tape Drive for reliable data backup solutions.

I'd install the best one you can.

Here is a side-by side comparison of your PC's current processor and the i7-2620M.

Intel® Product Specification Comparison

The i7 has a larger cache, a higher base frequency and it supports turbo-boost which allows the processor to run as fast as 3.40 GHz if load demands require it.

And the graphics max dynamic frequency is a bit faster.

And it is certainly not going to break the bank if you buy one.
