intel celeron b830 vs i7 2649M sockets

[ccofiskaa]

hello, i have a question about cpu sockets

i currently have an Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU B830 @ 1.80GHz 1.80 GHz in my laptop, and i want to upgrade it to Intel I7-2640M 2.8Ghz so i dont know if its compatible with my motherboard.

I would be more than happy to get an answer, thanks.

The answer is maybe.  It all depends on:

1) are both processors PGA988 socketed

2) and if the laptop bios supports the I7-2640M.  Only the laptop manufacture can tell you that.

Personally, it is my opinion that such an upgrade is worthless.

It would be far, far betteer to invest an a new or used laptop that has an 8th gen or later processor.
