My laptop is HP 630 with Intel Core i3 380M CPU.
I have also 2gb DDR3 1.5v ram module in the laptop.
I wanted to upgrade the RAM because i have two spare 4 GB RAM sticks, but it turned out that they are DDR3L, and have 1.35V, so they are not supported in my system(by the current CPU at least).
So, here i am asking this question : is there anything else i have to consider in terms of compatibility if i want to upgrade my CPU? I know that TDP and Socket have to match, and also the CPU has to have it's own integrated graphics as my current one has.
And also i wonder, this webpage(http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/CPUs/Intel/Core_i3_Mobile/i3-380M_(PGA988).html ) tells that these CPU's are compatible to replace my current one, is it possible that one of them supports DDR3L RAM sticks(because as i said, my current CPU doesnt, i tried everything, memory controller doesnt know how to work with 1.35 V)?
I checked the i5-i7 compatible versions and it seems they support the same kind of low spec frequencies as my current CPU does : 866/1066 MHz... So is it a thing to upgrade the CPU to make RAM compatible(DDR3L one, which works at 1.35V)? And is it compatible in my laptop(anything i missed?)?
upd 1: i guess i dont have to worry as it seems that all i3/i5/i7 CPU's with the "M" have integrated graphics...
The comparison of my current CPU and the CPU i want to get:
