Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook:

 

ManualsLib - Makes it easy to find manuals online!

 

Your notebook's Pentium B950 is a member of the Intel Sandy Bridge processor family.

 

Intel® Pentium® Processor B950

 

That means you can install any of the Intel Sandy Bridge (2nd generation core) processors listed in chapter 1 of the service manual--the best one being the Intel Core i7-2620M processor.

Can i put i7 2640m or i5 2540m because i found them for cheap 

HP Recommended

You can definitely install the i5-2540M because it is listed as a supported processor on page 2 of the service manual.

 

Theoretically, the i7-2640M should also work, but since it is not listed in the service manual, I can't 100% guarantee that it will.
