I recently purchased a dv9230us notebook and I was wondering if someone could please assist me. I would very much like to upgrade the CPU + both hard drives to the items listed below. I have limited experience with notebooks so any detailed instruction would be appreciated. I am new to the usage of forums so please have pity on me. Thank you. Cheers.

There is little benefit to upgrading your CPU. You have to pay $400 for the upgrade which will only benefit you if you do things like audio or video encoding. You will have no warranty after you do it. There is no reason you can't upgrade the hard drives. Check out the service manual on HP's site. It will explain the procedure.
