no amd and pentiums use different mother boards and sockets.

AMD CPU is a good one...

You just have to make sure that your new motherboard will fit into all the screwholes, ports, cards that are available for your HP, as well as the CPU that you already have.  For example, if you're using an AMD Socket 939 board, then your replacement board will have to be Socket 939-type as well, or your AMD CPU will never fit in.\n\nFurther, it will not make much difference if you upgrade the motherboard only.  To make your comp faster, you'll also have to replace the CPU.  In this case, you can choose any type of motherboard as long as it will fit into the case properly.

AMD is a CPU brand alternative to Intel. \n\n1.6 GHz is nowadays kind of outdated  but he would be still be able to play most games provided that the graphics card that the system has (which you dont specify) is good.\n\nIf not, the graphics card can be upgraded.

honestly, junk it \n\nmuch cheaper than searching 4 old processors not knowing if they work at all\nget a new p4 nope, get a pentium dual core ... just say yes ... lottsa ideas then

it is compatable with the following CPUs\n\nAMD Athlon™ XP Processors\nAMD Athlon™ Processors\nAMD Duron™ Processors\n\ncopy the threee lines of this link for complete compatability\n\nftp://ftp.fic.com.tw/\nmotherboard/cpu_table/\nsocketa/at31.pdf

I prefer my Pentium 4. It has-\n\n3.00 GHz (Reports of up to 4.00 GHz succesful overclocking!)\n800 MHz FSB\n1 MB L2 Cache (I'd have prefered two, but whatever)\n478-Pin (I think...)\nHyper-Threading (Doesn't work well with windowed 3D stuff though)

no. one is for amd processors and one is for Intel processors. different technology

a lot of crappy answers.\nno, you can't replace a Centrino (aka. Pentium M) processor with a Core Duo, because they have different sockets.\nthe Pentium M Centrino has a socket 478, while the Core Duo needs a socket M.

Cpu and Processor are the exact same thing. You need to find out what type of Motherboard you have. This will be the key in upgrading your processor.

you cant, it requires a CPU and motherboard to control it ... its an "add-on" card

You could upgrade the processor.  The highest processor you can upgrade to is a Pentium 233 MMX (the last model before Intel moved to the Pentium II format).  It's not much of an upgrade but it's up to you if it's worth the time to learn how to do it.  Money shouldn't be a probably as the 233 MMX probably goes for $5 or less on ebay or some flea market.\n\nTo open the Presario case, there are probably some screws on the left hand side in the rear (when looking directly at the front).  They secure the left panel to the case and consists of two (maybe three) screws.  If you tug at the left panel by pushing it towards the back and it still doesn't open, it might be a U-shaped cover and you'll need to unscrew the screws on the right panel on the rear.  Again, this may vary as different vendors had different ways to take the cover off.  I know that Sony desktops at the time didn't use screws but had pressure mechanisms that held the panel in place.

You will need to find a MB that supports PCI-E, Your current processor will not work in a MB that supports PCI-E. You will need to get a MB and processir with a socket 754 or better. like ASUS K8N-VM

if u wanna get the pci-e which is better u have to change ur motherboard\nif u want an AMD one then u must get nForce4 one\nif u want an Intel one u must get a motherboard with at least 915 chip-set or better\nnote:i think u need to change ur processor as well if u want to get the benefits of the geforce 7 card u wanna get

No you can't change just the video card as in desktops. You'll need to change the mother-board since all Laptops have inbuilt video cards.

The AMD XP 2800 is supposed to be equivalent to a Pentium 2800MHz = 2.800GHz processor (hence the 2800).

Update System Bios. Some FX cards are not compatible with old bios.
