Hey guys, perhaps somebody here can answer my question regarding the Compaq CQ62.
I have a guy who wanted to trade me this laptop, (the version with the AMD Sempron V120 processor) for a gaming keyboard. Now obviously a 2.19Ghz single-core is pretty slow, and I needed a laptop to run my interface through for recording so I told him no. After doing some research last night, I came across the manual for this laptop and found out that the CPU is upgradeable in it.
What my question is to you fine people, is if the AMD Phenom II N970 is compatible with this laptop. From what I was reading in the guide, it says Model 1.0 for the Sempron and Model 1.2 for the Phenom.. I don't know if that means that's what model it comes standard with, or if that's the only model it's compatible with. If it is compatible, it would be great to know, if not, perhaps you could fill me in on which one would be the fastest.
Thanks a lot guys, I look forward to getting this resolved so I can get the most out of this laptop.
Also, I apologize if I posted this in the wrong area.
