    Hi everyone,
    I was hoping someone could help me out with a possible upgrade. I want to upgrade my Dell Precision M4600's i5 processor to a i7-920xm. I have several questions regarding this and not the least of which is, is it possible? If it's possible are there any major drawbacks to doing it? Are there any other components that I need other than a new heat sink and the processor?
