I would buy this processor:

 

AMD Phenom II P920 Processor (1.6 GHz, 2 MB total L2 cache, 1066 MHz)—Quad Core 25 W (for models 1.0 and 1.1 only)

 

And install it.

This is basically what I running with and I need to make sure I get the correct processor. It also hard to come by a AMD Phenom II P950 processor since it so outdated.

260GB HHD 7200rpm
AMD V120 processor

I think we decided the Phenom II 950 is risky. We were going to look at the CPU list and find one that says compatible with Model 1.0 has a 1066 fsb and 25w power draw. 

 

That is the Phenom II P920. I linked an eBay auction above. The P820 and P320 would also work.

I looked at the service manual again and on the sticker it was classified as B so this model December 2010. But I'm not sure if that means it's a Model 1.0

I still think probably any of the listed processors will work, but I am sure yours is a model 1.0 because your processor is listed as only being offered on Model 1.0. These processors are no more than a few bucks each so you might buy 2 or 3 and see what happens. Not often you have the luxury of being able to experiment without it costing and arm and a leg.

Okay to make this easier I'm only going to use 1.0 compatible chips. So I need to know which one that 25W is the best and the other one that 35W I'll purchase both and see what happens.

OK I will ponder and recommend 3 processors
HP Recommended
Which 3 are they?
HP Recommended

The Phenom II P920 is the best Model 1.0 25w

 

The Phenom II P950 is the best, period

 

Phenom II N640 has the highest clock speed.
