Yes. It will require you finding out what chipset is in the motherboard. Use CPU-Z to verify that it is the Intel 965GM so the proper drivers can be found at the Intel site.

 

Also required is the product number (p/n) which is located on the HP service tag on the base of your laptop. This is because these laptops were produced for different country markets and with that number one can find out how they are configured.
