I want an small upgrade for my laptop and i don't know If it's possible.
Now i have an Intel Core i3 330m and i want to replace it with an Intel Core i5 3210m.
Possible or not?
Thank You!

Not possible in so many ways.
- Not socket compatible
- Not chipset compatible
- Not bios compatible
- existing processor may be soldered to motherboard
Compare both processors here:

Now, for any upgrade, the bios has to support the new processor. Only the laptop manufacturer can tell you this.
My opinion? It is simply not worth it for a laptop this old.
