    Would like to know if it's able to take 47W i7 quad CPU e.g. 3610qm and cool it properly, and whether it is upgradeable to 16GB ram or not. I know it's not supposed to, but maybe someone tried and succeeded.

    I've figured 16GB can be installed and used if 256MB RAM is disabled. What software should I use to extract BIOS and check processor compatibility?
