Product: Pavillion DV5-1205oe
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

I'd like to know if I can update this model's CPU to a faster one. At the moment, it's an AMD Sempron SI-46, codename Griffin, at 29.4 watts, according to CPU-Z. It also says Athlon QI-46, family F, model 3, stepping 1...

For the BIOS, it says version F.23 - AMD AGESA X4.1.0.3 of 01/05/2009

Thank you in advance,

Mitscha

Thank you very much..

the link for the BIOS flash is for a HP Pavilion dv5-1000, not my dv5-1205oe. Is this correct?

The bios itself was a direct dwl-link, so I couldn't verify whether it's for my laptop, and I really don't want to brick it!
