hello there
i want to upgrade my hp pavilion g6 1211sx processor from i3 2330m to i7 2620m
it it possible?
 
yeah
iam suffering from the lag during the game
according to hp manual
this is the highest processor that i can apply
if you know i7 higher that can work with it i will be happy to check
 

No, you can't (there are a couple of 3rd gen CPUs that use the same socket, but your chipset is not compatible with them).

The i7 would give you a noticeable bump in performance, but it still uses Intel HD Graphics 3000. You're stuck with that as long as you're stuck with 2nd gen hardware.

If it's worth $180 - $200 to you, go for it. You might be able to sell your i3 afterwards for about $80 to make up some of that money, even.
