Hello Expert, I hope to hear good news from you :generic:

 

but, but, I am confused

can I upgrade my Compaq Presario CQ43-422TU processor, Core i3-2330M to the faster Core i7-2620M. I already saw they both have the same socket, that is FCBGA1023, PPGA988

 

whether my new processor supports all the hardware in my laptop ??
Problems of what might appear if I replace it ??

And whether to replace the right choice to improve the performance of my laptop ??

 

Thanks before :Wink:
