Can I change processor and wi-fi in my laptop?

[hom1e]

So I've been doing a little cleaning in my Laptop and discovered that my wi-fi card and processor are both replacable (unfortunately my discreet graphics GF 540m isn't :/ because i would take it out permanently)
So can i change them to better models? I would like to change to faster processor and OS X compatible Wi-Fi card

My Laptop - Samsung RC530 S04PL

Wi-Fi - intel centrino n-130 130BNHMW


Intel core i5 2450 (2.5 Ghz)

WiFi/Bluetooth: Depends on having compatible hardware. Use DPCIManager->PCI List to find out what you have. Compatible chipsets and the procedures for making them work are covered here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/network/104850-guide-airport-pcie-half-mini-v2.html

Refer to your service manual on the CPU.

Read at link provided in post #2 carefully. BCM94322HM8L is not on the list of supported WiFi chipsets.

Ok, so I've managed to give this incompatible wi-fi back and get refund, and I've bouth apple card with adapter.


And it worked, had to cut few things in my laptop case to make it fit because its much bigger than original wifi and add 2 additional antenas but it was worth it, wifi + bluetooth works fine out of the box no drivers needed.
