HP 945gct-hm Prosessor upgrade

[Fu Manchu]

This is the first time I have ever seen this website and I'm very lost to tell you the truth. I was really hoping you guys could help me out tho. I currently have a 945GCT-HM REV 1:0B, And I was told I need to "upgrade/Mod" my bios in order to run a CPU better then an e4300. And body have any clue where I should start? The current bios has NO overclocking features from what I have seen. Thx

Is this a laptop? Lenovo, HP, Dell?

I mean AFAIK, I can upgrade my i5 to an i7, all I have to do is take the whole laptop apart and replace the thermal paste if necessary.
