HP DV6700 upgradability

damndirtyape · 04-16-2008, 06:29 PM

okay i just got this notebook as a replacement from insurance for my last one which kicked the bucket.

the problem is the processors too darn slow for me! when insurance came through they gave me a choice of some toshiba satellite with integrated graphics card.... no thanks. or this one HP DV6700. I havnt been able to find a straight answer on if the processor is upgradable. if it is then what should i look for in a new processor compatability-wise?

new notebook:
Windows Vista
HP Pavilion DV6700
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T5450 @ 1.66 1.67
nVidia Geforce 8400M GS 254mb
250 gb SATA (really 220 with a 12.5 as a backup. nice)
3GB RAM

also if anyone knows off the top of their head what else is upgradable that would be great but my main concern is the processor. thanks!

hi,

do you know your chipset? is it Intel PM965?

EDIT:
Go to this page:

and highlight your Intel Chipset then click Compare. It will give you the supported processors..
