So I recently got a new laptop, its an Acer Aspire 5733. I've since upgraded the 4GB RAM to 8GB, but my CPU and Graphics controller are still a bit behind what I want from said PC. It's got an Intel Core i3 370M (2 Cores @ 2.4 GHz + 2 Threads) and it's alright, but it's what's running my graphics (Intel HD Graphics [2000 I think]) and want an upgrade for mild gaming and overall efficiency. Since my system is running the rPGA989 socket I figured I could upgrade to a better i3/i5/i7 mobile CPU and go with one that's got Intel HD Graphics 3000 to help with the gaming. I've half-decided on the i3 2370m since I'll get to keep my 2.4GHz CPU frequency and get the boost in graphics-processing from HD 3000. I learned that it's an rPGA988B and not an rPGA989 processor, but after reading up I found out that it's compatible (I think) because the 989 socket will fit 988A/988B CPU's and work just fine.
This leads me to my question: Does anyone know if I'm right about this, will the rPGA989 socket take socket G2/G1 988A/988B CPU's without issues?
