Hi:

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

http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01301275.pdf

Supported processors are listed in chapter 1, page 1.

I read the BIOS release notes and it doesn not appear any BIOS updates are necessary to install any of the processors listed in the manual.

Hi:

There are only Intel processors in the manual on the link I posted.

An AMD processor will not work on an Intel motherboard, or visa versa.

Please have another look at the manual I posted. I have copied and pasted what is there...
