That part is NOT a CPU/Processor, it is a (HD)Discrete architecture with media card reader 1.1
https://partsurfer.hp.com/partsurfer?searchtext=615848-001
Page 83 of the manual shows you a list and the top CPU of the series is
Intel Arrandale i7–620M Processor (2.66 GHz, 4 MB total L3 cache, 1066 MHz)—Dual Core 35 W part # 587259–001
Your machine has
Pentium Arrandale P6100 Processor (2.0 GHz, 3 MB, L3 cache 100 MHz) (for models 1.1 and 1.2 only) part # 613587-001

Did you read read the manual. BIOS may only allow CPU's on the list.

Does that mean that anything on the list will work on my motherboard that is board number 615849-001 like the Intel Core i5–460M Processor as it is listed in the section as shown below as the rest are the Intel Arrandale type that are kind of high priced
Thank you
