So, is he saying that this laptop can use both intel and AMD cpu's? I have never heard of such cross compatibility.

Hello Aurthur,

HP support,I had to gigggle.

If it is AMD processor already installed then to replace it with another AMD processor.

No you cannot fit a Intel processor into an AMD processor capable mainboard.

The manual states in Section 1.1:

1.1 Features

Mobile Intel Pentium 4 3.06-, 2.80-, 2.66-, and 2.40-GHz
processors, all with 512-KB L2 cache, varying by notebook
model

- or -

Intel Pentium 4 DT 3.20-, 3.06-, 2.80-, 2.66-, and 2.40-GHz
processors, all with 256-KB L2 cache, varying by notebook
model

- or -

AMD Athlon 64 1.8-, 2.0-, and 2.2-GHz processors, all with
1-MB L2 cache, varying by notebook model

- or -

AMD Athlon XP-M 1.6-GHz processor with 256-KB L2
cache

So the rep Vincente is technically correct, in saying that the notebook can have either AMD or Intel...

..... So does that mean that I can change my XP-M 3000 754 for one of those Intel's? (not only should it fit in the socket but also work. :P)

You never gave a reason why you want to change cpu makers.

Can you explain why you want to do this ...

arthur92710 · 01-09-2009

I dont, I just need something a bit faster that uses less power. This chip is 1.6Ghz and 65w. The socket 754 Turion can go to 2.xGhz with only 25-25w.

You will be wasting your money upgrading the notebook.

You will be better off putting the money towards getting a new faster computer, the you will not have any hassles...
