Product: Compaq Presario CQ60-410SV Notebook PC
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit)

Hello, I was wondering, if it was possible to upgrade the CPU in my Compaq Presario CQ60-410SV Notebook PC?

 

Compaq Presario CQ60-410SV Notebook PC

[personal information removed]

Product number:VE733EA

 

And if so, what processors does the motherboard support?

 

The current CPU is an  AMD Sempron SI - 42, 2.1 GHz  ( http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K8/AMD-Mobile%20Sempron%20SI-42%20-%20SMSI42SAM12GG.html ) and I would enjoy a bit more power.

 

Which is the best cpu choice that you would suggest to me?

 

Thank you in advance.

Here is the support manual for the PC

http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02985882

 

Page  4-44 lists the CPU choices that should work.  Pick from the AMD line-up.  Since the one in the PC now is almost the bottom of the list, I would think most any one of those would give an improvement.

 

Being the age of that PC, I would think whatever is available from probably the EBay market.
