    Hi, I'm far more familiar with intel processor platforms than I am with AMD, so I hope someone can help answer this question: Will this CPU work - AMD Athlon 64 Mobile 4000+ 2.6 GHz CPU AMN4000BKX5BU in this laptop: HP DV8301NR ?

    The HP laptop has the following attributes:
    Memory Size: 1.5GB
    Processor Manufacturer: AMD
    Processor Type: Turion 64
    Processor Speed: 1.8Ghz
    Display Size: 17
    Hard Drive Size: 80GB
    Optical Drive: DVDRW
    Video/Graphics Card: Radeon Xpress 200
    Integrated WiFi Support: YES

    Any help with helping me find the best and fastest processor for this model would be apreciated. While I'm at it, can anyone help with the best graphics card for this model as well? Thanks much

    It probably isn't upgradeable.
