I have an Alienware M17x (Not sure if its an R1 or R2, thinking it's an R1 because it doesn't have an i3, i5, i7 CPU) with an P8600 Dual-Core processor, I was wondering if you could upgrade to a Quad-core i7 CPU?

From this information I'd say maybe.

You can email Intel and ask if they have any four cores that would replace your chip.

Enter laptop / processor, etc until you select your chip and then submit your question.

not an i7, unless you replace the motherboard. I believe you can get an ancient core 2 quad.
