Firstly, Intel processors use different boards, you can't fit them to AMD boards.
I don't know what is your HP Pavilion g4 Notebook PC therefore I can't say further but I know for sure your machine has APU processor that means you can't upgrade CPU/Processor, you have to buy different board and this is a very expensive upgrade. Now , please use the following instructions to find out the model/product of your machine:

Please do NOT post its Serial number (s/n).
Looks like you wish to upgrade everything. Buying new machine is much cheaper. Did you know buying a new machine is much cheaper than buying parts and put together yourself ?
Regards.

One Question I want to ask i.e. Is it's ok if I only Upgrade my Ram ( Upto 4GB or 8GB) to run them little much faster?
