[A340]

motherbord 8257 by HP ....what is the highest I7 icore that I can upgrade, at the moment it is i7-6700HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz 2.59 GHz

Hi:

The processor is an integral part of the motherboard and cannot be upgraded.

You can replace the motherboard with one listed in chapter 3 of your notebook's service manual that comes with the Intel Core i7-7700HQ processor.

so I need to buy the motherboard according which processor that I need, the best one that I noticed is the 7th generation with the highest cash 

[Paul_Tikkanen]

That is correct.

also as I noticed now some of them RX the others are GTX what is the diffrance and which is better and how to determine which one I have now?

[A340]

as I believe this is the best and it will come without processor...only motherboard correct?

Hi:

As I posted in my first reply to you, the processor is an integral part of the motherboard, so the motherboard has to come with the processor, since it is part of the motherboard.

That is the best motherboard that is supported in the notebook model series you have.

I wouldn't know what Graphics adapter is better--the AMD RTX or the Nvidia GTX ti

You can look up that information online by doing a search by the comparison of the two adapters.

UserBenchmark: AMD RX 460 vs Nvidia GTX 1050-Ti

Your notebook currently has the NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 960M graphics adapter.
