    ok im thinking of getting a dv1000 to use as a might light weight solution to my dv6500t but i want to get a core 2 duo for it. im going to buy one broken and put in a intel 945 chipset motherboard iv seen alot of people who have dv5000's and dv8000's who have upgraded from core duo to core 2 duo's but not any people with dv1000's so what do you guys think anyone have any experience? if all else fails ill buy it anyways and if it wont work ill put it in my brothers dv8000 and take his t2300 oh well in that case

    Yes it is possible. I upgraded my hp dv dv1207 (celeron 1.3G) to basically a dv1530. (Gm852 chipset to a 915 chipset then I overclocked A Pentium M 1.6G to 2.1G on the 915 chipset) I'm not sure what model dv1000 you're starting with so you will likely need more than just the motherboard. The core 2 duo's have a sata harddrive, so you will need one of those, the 945 chipset like you mentioned as well as the proper ddr2 ram. You can get the specs off of HP website as well as all the drivers you will need.

    If it helps my wife has a dv1660se which has a core duo that can be upgraded to a core 2 duo. It has the 945 chipset, 533mghtz ddr2 ram, and sata hard drive. All the motherboards are physically the same size in the dv1000 series so they can be easily upgraded. Good luck.
