devulge96 Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 New to the forum and need some help upgrading the hp pavillion dv6-6b08sa laptop i hope to buy, my acer just died and i'm looking for a new laptop for casual gaming and college work, the laptop i have decided on boasts 6gb ram and decent graphics, but the amd a6 processor just won't do it justice, i have decided on a Intel Core i5 2.66 GHz mobile processor, my question is: is there anything else i would need for it to work, and please don't recommend others as i have had a look all over and can't find any laptop i would prefer, thanks in advance ;) Quote
KenB Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Hi and welcome to ExTS You do realise that if you take the laptop apart and replace the processor you will void any warranty that comes with the machine ?

devulge96 Posted October 19, 2011 Author Posted October 19, 2011 excuse my ignorance, wasn't aware of that, contrary to my last post, it seems i may need help finding a laptop, 16.6'' or 17.3'' display, max £700 casual gaming, want a minimum of 4gb ram, decent graphics, intel core i5 2nd. Quote
