    Alright i recently bought a Compaq Presario CQ60-615DX Notebook PC it runs on an Intel® Celeron® Processor 900 (1M Cache, 2.20 GHz, 800 MHz FSB) with an Intel GL40 Express chipset. It’s not a bad laptop but with the processor running at 100% at start up i want to upgrade the processor. I've looked all around and have been unsuccessful with finding anything better.

    ANY SUGESTIONS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!!

    A good upgrade for your laptop is an Intel Pentium Dual Core, T4500 ,T4400, T4300.

    Compare Intel® Products

    You will also get more battery life with the Enhanced Speedstep Technology.

    If you want the best, I can definitely recommend the T9300 cpu. I upgraded from a Celeron T1600 to the T9300 in my CQ70-215EO, and it works great, the cpu swap makes a world of difference!

    My laptop also has the GL40 chipset, and I can confirm that it will take 8gb RAM.
    But the best upgrades are CPU and HDD!
