Product: Pavilion DV8 (1093CA)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

My dv8 currently has a 1st gen i7 720 QM processor.  It is only 1.6 Ghz.  I would like to upgrade it to an i7 920xm if possible.  However, I am not sure they are compatible with the motherboard and chipsets.  Can you recommend a replacement?
