Hiya guys! I'm looking to see if I can upgrade the CPU on my Gateway NV55C laptop to get (somewhat) better graphics.
As of now, the laptop has a i3-370M in it, with awful first-gen i-series integrated graphics.
Are there any possible CPUs I can upgrade to and get somewhat more functional intergrated graphics. I'm just curious what would be the maximum possible graphics-wise/processor-wise CPU I can shove into this thing.

Why exactly? I don't believe they soldered in the i3 like a Mac or something. I'm most than willing to take apart my case and gut it's insides if that's what it takes. I've already spray painted the laptops case for fun (individual plastic components, not the entire laptop) and it works just as fine as it always has.
What exactly is preventing me?

i know this has been over for a while but the nv55c has a loose cpu that can be rather easily replaced
