Upgrade to i7-990x

[firsttimefirsttime]

I was wondering how I would be able to tell whether or not i can upgrade my compaq presario cq50 running a 2 GHz Intel Pentium Dual-Core Mobile Processor T3200 to an i7-990x.

If your laptop says "i7-990x" compatible on it, then you should have no problem.

not. i believe the i7 990x model processor is for desktop use, not laptop. sell your laptop and build a desktop i7990x.

there are Mobile workstations that use the i7 990x.But those things cost thousands.
