Hi:
The Mobile Intel 965 GM and PM chipset supports 8 GB of memory.
I have a HP 6910p with the Mobile Intel 965 GM chipset and one with the 965 PM chipset and I have installed 2 x 4 GB of PC2-6400 memory in both and they work just fine with all 8 GB recognized in Windows.
There are some dv9500/dv9500 Intel models with the same chipset that will also take 2 x 4 GB of DDR2 memory.
I cannot personally vouch for the HP/Compaq 610 models. While the chipset may support 8 GB, the BIOS may not.
Unless you already have the memory laying around, buying 2 x 4 GB of PC2-6400 memory would be too expensive to take a risk on.
The cheapest I have seen a 4 GB DDR2 chip is around $70 USD.
