P6100 to i7 upgrade

[vilasman]

As I look at the information on this site... both the P6100 Duo core processor and almost all of the i3,i5 and i7 processor series all use a G1 socket. Does this mean I can upgrade me G72 HP to an i7 processor?

I have found spec with Core i3. Please give me more details about model i.e. G72-b62US

You shouldn't have problem upgrading to socket G1 Core i3, i5 and i7 mobile processors. HP G72-B00 series support list includes the latest i3 and i5 CPUs:

The document doesn't show Core i7 dual-core processors, but they should work too. Core i7 quad-cores will probably work. They have higher power dissipation, and, since they're not in the support list, I can assume that the laptop's thermal solution may not be adequate for them.
