I have Aspire 6930 model laptop with Intel Centrino2, RAM 4GB, Harddisk 320GB. I would like to upgrade this with i5 processor, 8GB RAM, 1TB Hard diask. Please advise.

You cant upgrade to an i5 from Centrino2. The Centrino 2 is old and a different socket than any i5. You COULD probably change the ram, but that too would be useless, since 8gb of ram on a Centrino 2 is like putting a spoiler on a broken car, no offense. You might wanna buy a new laptop if you can....

I totally agree with gusta here. You're going to need a whole new laptop entirely if you want to be able to push those specs, it's just not possible to upgrade such an old CPU, sorry man!
