I have a hp pavillion dv7-3165dx, and I'm trying to find out if its possible to upgrade the processor. I would replace the factory processor with AMD Athlon II X2 Processor. It goes at 3.0 GHz, with 2.0 MB of cache. I bought this 2-3 years ago for my desktop, but thats when I was a fool and didnt know that my intel's motherboard wasnt compatible with my AMD processor. I just need to know if i can take my laptop apart where i can change the processor, and if i can, if the processor is compatible.
