Hi,

 

I need to upgrade my Compaq Presario cq60 -  219tu laptop's processor for a faster one. Is it possible ? If so, what are the compatible processors with this model ? 

 

Thanks

Hi:

 

Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.

 

http://www.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02985882.pdf

 

Since your notebook has an Intel Celeron processor, most likely it has the GL40 chipset.

 

With that chipset you are limited to installing Intel processors with a max FSB of 800 MHz.

 

According to the manual, the best you could do would be the T5900.

 

I have zipped up and attached below a free utility that will show you the chipset your notebook has.

 

If by some miracle it is a GM45 or PM45, then you could go as high as the T9600.

Hi:

 

HP has retired support for that model series since it is more than 10 years old.

 

I cannot find any specs on your notebook.

 

What processor does it have installed now?
