I currently have an acer 7745g with core i3-330m with a chipset 55 and rPGA989 socket.
I want to upgrade the CPU. I found a i7-2820qm but it is said it's FCPGA-988.
According to my research, it's 2nd gen and mine is 1st gen. My BIOS update is october 2011 and the i-7 i'm looking for was realeased in the beggining of 2011.
I also found rPGA989 works fine with 988A (G1) and 988B (G2).
Before buying the i7 cpu, I'd like more advises from experimented users since i just a noob here.
