    Can we upgrade the processor later on a HP Laptop, for example, the 8530p ?

    Thanks a lot for all the replys. I don't receive any e-mail notifications, so I never know about the replys, and searching is quite tedious with this system.

    BTW, Is there a way to see all the posts we are in?


    Thanks a lot for the info. I will upgrade using a autorized reseller.

    ow... and... :) What about the video card? Can we also upgrade the video card later on?


    Thanks a million,
    MEM

    EDIT: Sorry, didn't see your other question about upgrading video. Generally you can't upgrade the video card later on. It is possible if you have a notebook with MXM video card slot and there are some notebooks coming out now with an external GPU option, but for everybody else the answer is no.
