Hello,

I have an HP dv7-1245ca which currently has an AMD turion x2 rm-72 processor my question is what is the best processor I can put into that motherboard trying to avoid buying a new laptop at this point. If there was a way to upgrade the video as well I would but thats not in the options I don't believe
 


The best CPU it would likely support is the Turion X2 Ultra ZM-88. You get twice the cache (2x1 MB of L2 cache vs. 2x512 KB) and an extra 400 MHz of clock speed.
