The 2630QM is a second gen i7, and is not compatible with 1st gen motherboards, so no you cannot swap. You can however get an i7 920XM or 940XM and overclock that chip really well, since it's an unlocked chip.

So would swapping the 740 for the 920 or 940 give you the capability to add more than 8gb of ram on the g53jw or does the mobo limit that amount of ram?
