Hello, I have a couple of questions.
For reference this is my motherboard's specs http://www.findlaptopdriver.com/specs-0b40h-hp/ . The Manufacturer is Hewlett Packard and the product ID 0b40h.
I am thinking about putting an i7 in this computer to replace the i5-650 which is supported I believe according to the resource above. However, I need to know if I have to replace the motherboard in order to get a higher speed ram. Does this motherboard only support 1333 MHz and to get higher speeds I have to replace the motherboard? Also, would upgrading just the CPU be a bad choice because of bottle-necking?
My first intuition is that this motherboard is not meant for i7 CPU's because the Ram Speed is capped, am I wrong here?
Thanks!!
