? on the cpu-world chip breakdwn page

[Guest]

I have a Compaq cq62-225nr that I need to replace the cpu in. I was going to upgrade to a p920 or a n850. When I look at the HP site it lists different series for the system. When I call HP they say the chip is soldered to the board and can't be replaced (two different phone calls they said this.) It is not soldered it is in a S1 housing. My serial and model number give no clues.

My question;

Is every chip listed in the "CPUs, related to AMD Athlon II P320" section of http: //www . cpu-world .com/CPUs/K10/AMD-Athlon%20II%20Dual-Core%20Mobile%20P320%20-%20AMP320SGR22GM .html a viable upgrade path?

How do I find my "series" number as it is referred to here
http: // h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02641795.pdf on page 85 ???

Thanks

All of the processors listed in the manual should be compatible. They are all socket S1g4. Just note that your P320 is a 25W chip, and if you go with a 35W chip replacement, then the notebook will likely run warmer when the CPU is working (not idle).

Neon is right, all socket S1g4 processors should work, even the Phenom II X6x0/X9x0. It's better to avoid them unless you know for sure that your notebook's thermal solution can handle 45 Watt TDP.
