Product: HP Pavilion dv6-6145TX
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Hey! 

So I've got a pavilion dv6-6145TX which is currently running an intel core i7-2630QM CPU @ 2.00 Ghz and I was wondering if it was possible to upgrade this processor to a better one in order to improve the processing speed of my laptop for better gaming, audio visual ect.

If it is possible to upgrade it would anyone be able to recommend the best or a better processor to upgrade to and any possible places that i could purchase one from?

 

Thankyou very much!

Normally games require mor GPU power which you can't upgrade from the following specs

 

       http://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c02921673

 

Few other options

 

(a) RAM: You can upgrade to 8GB

(b) Storage: SSD may help.

 

Again, tis is an old computer I would not upgrade it interms of cost/performance ratio.

 

Regards.
