Latitude E6520 Upgrade parts?
I would like to upgrade the processor, WiFi Card, and Graphics Card if I can in my Latitude E6520.
Current configurations (up to date if you check S/T):
Service Tag <
ADMIN NOTE: Service tag removed as per privacy policy>
BIOS Version
A08
10/18/2011
Processor
Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2330M CPU @ 2.20GHz
Memory
Page File Size
16,143.6MB (8GB)
Storage
Samsung 840Pro 256GB SSD
Wireless
DW1501 Wireless-N WLAN Half-Mini Card
Display
Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000
Can anyone tell me what processors I can buy to upgrade also is there anything else needed for a processor upgrade IE: Heat tube/sink, Fan, housing, etc..
What WiFi Cards can I upgrade to for faster connectivity?
There is not a Graphics card installed what can be installed?
Also will the cooling system support such upgrades? I have a extended battery and not worried about life there.
Any help will do.
Thanks!

The processor is removeable, so that can be upgraded - you'll need a Sandy Bridge generation CPU (not the later Ivy Bridge or Haswell). The wireless card is your choice - you can use anything that will fit in the system and take the standard antenna connections (probably two).
The video chip cannot be upgraded, nor can you add a video card. If you wish to upgrade the video, the mainboard must be replaced with one that has a discrete video chip.
If you do this upgrade, you will also need a new heatsink assembly.
