Product: Pavilion A6200
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

My current HP Pavilion A6200n, has an Athlon 64x2 processor on the mother board (MCP61PM-HM). Can I upgrade the processor to a Pheonem 64-950 or 980 quad core processor, or should I just replace the motherboard and processor with something newer?

Greetings,

Welcome back to the forum.

I am not a HP employee.

 

Your PC (Link) was released for sale in 2007. The MB supports CPU upgrades to a Athlon 64 or a Sempron.

 

You would have to replace the:

 

MB

RAM

CPU

Optical drive

Chassis, and get a new Windows product key.

 

It is best to build a new PC or buy a new HP PC.

 

Regards
