Hi,
I am having a difficult time getting to any resources(manuals) for your laptop. I can tell you that your graphics can't be updated.
Memory: 4 GB. 2x 2048MB modules
I will keep on trying to find the other information for you.

Please download and run CPU-Z so I will have chipset and motherboard identifying information for your laptop's motherboard.
Thanks,

@bk109 wrote:@thanks for the quick reply! About the maximum supported RAM - according to some HP resources it's 8gigs and according to others 4. In any case, @ crucial i've seen the 2x4gigs combo for the Compaq 516 (615 was missing,but the 516 has as far as I could tell the same basic hardware). As for the MXM - I know that I've got the HD3200(btw, for an Integrated card it has some horsepower 😄 ), but there's supposed to be a version of the 615 with a discrete HD43xx series card, so I'm( or was at any rate) hoping that my 'book is MXM capable. Can you check if the 615 with the 43xx has it on a MXM or if it's hardwired to the mobo?
Thanks in advance!PS. I'm using a Windows 7 x64, so I don't foresee any problem with maximum RAM mapping
PPS. I think HP made the MXM jump, because I've seen a myriad of MXMs for HP on E-bay
// Straight from the English product page - Maximum : Upgradeable to 8 GB with 4 GB SODIMMs in slots 1 and 2.
As I mentioned a couple of times,It seems that the problem is with INCORRECT Translation and that's why I wrote to disregard the RAM issue whatsoever.
Also,you might've noticed that i acknowledged the fact that the 3200 is an Integrated card. I only wanted to know, if the the 615 with a the HD4330 is built on the same basic chassis which would lend additional weight to the notion of an MDM HD4330.The relevant section from the 615 Overview
"Graphics Models with integrated graphics : ATI Radeon HD 3200.
Models with discrete graphics : ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4330 graphics with HyperMemory support.
Microsoft DirectX 10.1 (discrete),10 (integrated) capable."Message Edited by bk109 on 10-21-2009 07:28 AM
I would like to know the same thing like bk109 and I've got another question.
Is there an internal wlan card for the Compaq 615 which supports the 802.11n-standard? I want to use the faster bandwidh of the "n"-standard, but the wlan card which comes with the compaq 615 only supports b/g.
And I dont want to use a external USB-Stick 😉

I have been looking for a suitable HDD upgrade for my HP 530.
I guess my questions are
- Do I need to upgrade the BIOS (if so a link would be good) ?
- Will a SATA II drive work assuming I buy one of the brands you recommend eg. http://www.ebuyer.com/product/150515
Any other advice . . . .
many thanks
Please provide the complete product name and part number.

hi,
I have checked the device manager and searched for my hard drive.
I have a Hitachi HTS541010G9SA00 hard drive. Some Details on the Drive.
This 100 GB 5400 RPM internal hard drive, the Hitachi HTS541010G9SA00, offers SATA I/O. The HTS541010G9SA00 is a drive with 8 MB of cache.
100GB 5400RPM 8MB BUFFER SATA 7-PIN 2.5INCH HARD DISK
Also, please note, my controller is INTEL 82801GBM SATA ACHI Controller and I also have an INTEL 8280 1G ULTRA ATA Controller installed.
Also, the manual you sent me shows only AMD Turion processors but I have a CENTRINO DUO (T2400) @1.83Ghz.
Please advise on a compatible Hard Drive and other questions I asked earlier
thanks and regards
Pranav

these are the results from CPU-Z

I recommend that you purchase the upgrade processor online as cheap as you can.
The T5200, T5300 and T1350 should work with your laptop for upgrades. They are reported to work with other makers laptop with the same chipset that yours has. These processors have the same FSB as your Celeron M. Anything with a higher designation number is reported to not work.
