Very hard to upgrade laptops specially the dv6-61xx series

1. For CPU: you need new motherboard and new CPU, your existin motherboard won't help much and this is a very expensive upgrade.
2. For RAM: It supports 8GB max, currently it has 6GB, you can throw away 2B and buy 4GB to make 6GB. The cost/performace in this case is very small, unnoticebale.
3. Wireless card: Your machine was built around May 2011 the chance to upgrade wireless card is very slim to none. You can use the following list
