CPUZ:  Mobile AMD Sempron 3000+ (Albany): Socket 754, MB 30A4.   Can I upgrade to an AMD Turion ML 30?

Thanks.

Yes, you could also use the AMD Turion 64 ML-32, ML-37, or ML-40.


Parts compatible (and orderable) are found at http://partsurfer.hp.com

The only difference in the ML30 is 1600MHz as opposed to 1800MHz with the ML32.  I guess the slower speed is not supported.

The Parts Finder which is a nice tool (and thanks for that, I did not know about that) could not find my laptop part number (ES186AV) nor could I find the motherboard, although that may have another number, and I resist taking my laptop apart again.

Can someone definitively state that the ML28/ML30 is not supported?  Trusted the vendor that the cpu is good, I suppose that is my answere. 

Thanks.

I would assume that slower speed is supported, as they almost always are.

Ahh.   Marks it as a dv5100.   I would assume the same about the lower speed.   rma'd it and bought a ml37 for just a few dollars more ($22 as opposed to $15).  Would have purchased it originally but didn't see it in the search.

live and learn.

thanks much.
