can i upgrade my macbook pro i5 to a i7 without buying the i7 module?

so I stay on amazon when it comes to new components for my MacBook Pro, just to see the products that could potincally help me operate the system batter or anything along those lines. So today I went on just to browse and stumbled upon the "intel core i7", now I had originally thought that whatever module you had gotten would be it unless you wanted to shell out another few grand for the i7..


Upon findind this product it occured to me that maybe I could perchase the i7 processor and then simply install it however need be to upgrade to the i7 without the purchase of another MacBook Pro. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if that is possable, and if you can make your computer an i7 and basicly have it appear as that is how you computer cameupon purchase?


If anyone could answer this question that would be an amazing help.

MacBook Pro, iOS 5.0.1
