DV6-2173cl cpu and ram upgrade

[mwg568]

Hi, I have a HP Pavilion dv6-2173cl that's a bit outdated. I was wondering if anyone knew of the right cpu and memory to purchase to at least go to an i5 (preferably an i7) and jump up to 8gb? Thanks!

Getting the correct RAM is easy - - just log on to Crucial.com: http://www.crucial.com/

CPU compatibility information, however, is far from easy to obtain as it's not published on the web unless it's a standard retail motherboard. Boards for HP laptops and PCs are custom-made for HP, they aren't retail models.
