Ok, I have a HP G62 laptop 

 

It has an AMD Athlon II P340 Dual-core procesoor 2.2Ghz.

 

Product # is: XH066UA#ABA

 

I was wondering if I can upgrade the processor affordably. I was looking at the following:

 

1) AMD phenom II n920

2) AMD Phenom n930

 

Is it possible? What would you recommend of the two? I assume a quad-core would be much better than this dual core? I want to speed it up. I have it maxed out at 8 GB RAM already. Thanks!

Hi,

This is your laptop home product page:

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/documentSubCategory?tmp_rule=16268&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=u...

The service manual is here:

http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02641795.pdf

It says that the Phenom N930 is listed as compatible and should work on the laptop..:)

The first option is not listed so I don't think it will work.

Asus ROG STRIX G16 Manjaro Xfce
