    Hi!

    I would like to upgrade my CPU ( i5 -450m SLBTZ) for an i7. Can someone tell me which CPU is compatible with my motherboard?

    Thank you!

    If the CPU isn't soldered on and the BIOS and M/B support it, you can upgrade up to an i7 620M, but depending on the price, the performance increase of about 20% doesn't seem worth it.
