cpu upgrade?

[spawn1980]

I wanted to get a HP dv6 AMD Phenom N930 2.00GHz but I was wondering if its possible to upgrade the processor to a Phenom II X4 X920 BE? heres both cpu specs. I would think the mobo could handle it.

May or may not work. Usually HP crap is picky. If HP doesn't offer it as an option for the very same model don't count on it. And even then some cheap mobos may have the CPU soldered, which makes it virtually impossible for you to replace unless you are very skilled in electronics and have the right tools.
