HP Recommended
Product: EliteBook 8770w
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Hello, I am using the EliteBook 8770w with the dual core motherboard and the i5-3360M processor.

I have purchased the quad core i7-3920XM but I can't use that until I get the quad core motherboard.

My problem is that I don't know how to identify the difference between the dual core and the quad core motherboard.

I need someone to show me which motherboard model I need to obtain so I can use the quad core i7 that I purchased.

 

I also need to know - will the quad core motherboard fit inside the laptop frame and will the quad core motherboard accept all of the parts I have?

 

My other parts - Quadro K4000M, 2x8GB RAM, 1600x900 display, Micron 1100 2TB Sata SSD (Windows installed here)

In other words, I want to make sure the quad core motherboard is fully compatible with the rest of the laptop.

 

Thanks for any help, it is greatly appreciated!
