    If you whant upgrade to play BF3 just wait the exit of the game and try it. The official requirements are not published so no one can't say if you can play well with the HP dv6-6050se.

    If you want to play BF3, get a quad core if you can afford it. BF3 is supposedly heavily threaded to take maximum advantage of quadcore CPUs.
