    Hey all!

    I've got a notebook mentioned above.

    I'm wondering if there's possible to upgrade it's memory from stock 4GB to 8GB, and it's stock cpu i3-2350M to a 4th or 5th generation i5 quad?
    I've been doing a research via google for this issue, but I can't find obvious answer. Some says it's possible, others says this model only can handle a total of 4 gigs RAM. It has one slot 4GB DDR3-1333 module sitting in it.

    Sticker on back says:

    Model: A54H
    ID: 5k
    C1N0AS493081053

    A54HR-SO103D
    Check Number: 4120

    Thanks in advance.

    A fourth or fifth gen CPU will have a completely different socket from your second gen chip, so that won't work.
