CPU Upgrade for G7 Pavillion

[curiousTim]

I have a 1227 NR pavillion laptop. I would like to know what is the biggest CPU I can install in it. I have searched the web and can find know definitive answer.

As long as the I3-370M in there is the PGA988 type, then look for any Arrandale/Clarksfield processor that is compatible with the chipset.

If it's BGA, then you're SOL. Only one way to find out
