[Gremlin38]

Hello.

1. What is the maximum CPU I can install in HP G62-a15ER?

2. How much memory max. can be installed?

3. What are the specifications on the motherboard (HP-142a (CPU); chipset: Intel HM55 - I think so)

Thank you.

@Gremlin38, welcome to the forum.

Here is the Maintenance and Service Guide for the laptop.  In Chapter 5 (Component replacement procedures), Page 81, is a list of compatible processors.  They are all Dual Core.  You can look at the list to see which is the fastest.  Make certain that you check the model they will fit.

You will find the answers to your other questions in the Guide in the section titled "Product description" starting on Page 1.
