Compaq Cq60 211dx upgrades

[Vadamo]

So I researched this alot and seem to have found the right parts but i need some help.

So the cpu can be upgraded, saw some tutorials and saw how to remove it(pain in the ass tho)
CPU is a T7300:http://ark.intel.com/products/29760/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T7300-4M-Cache-2_00-GHz-800-MHz-FSB

Wifi: Intel Centrino 6300

GPU: Using a ViDock , planning to get a radeon , something cheap for games like skyrim,call of dutys , etc.

And the ram which I know is a piece of cake is 4gb(largest)

One Problem is the Bios.
Now I heard you have to upgrade it which IM not good with the bios and flashing so im unsure what to do. Should I download the latest version for HP?

Thanks in advance

I tried to do the same thing on a prebuilt desktop, but, even though the chipset was right, I was not able to update the bios to upgrade the cpu. So make absolutely sure that you can update your bios for the new cpu before purchasing.
As for using the latest bios from hp, it could or could not work. Honestly, if i were you, I would just get a new system. Laptops are not made for upgrading.

Ill look around for a bios and hopefully find one, any since these processors are cheap now . This would save me alot than getting a new laptop.

I hope you can find one, but again, make sure you have the right bios. If you flash the wrong one, your laptop will basically be a paperweight.
