HP 1484 MOBO

Does anyone know if this mobo will support dual core? It's a laptop mobo. I have searched intel and there may be some dual core options, but I can't find anything on this board.

I'm having a similar issue with this. I have the same motherboard and very similar specs as to the above. My model # is WQ668UA#ABA and am considering an upgrade for the CPU. With the limited and almost non-existant information that HP has given me I don't know the limits the motherboard can handle. Can anyone give me a hand with this?

In my compaq cq-62 219wm and it is very easy to switch out the cpu. It took me only 15 min to get it open, in, and on. I put in a t6400 intel core 2 duo but I've found out that you can go up to a T9500 for sure. Just make sure you have yourself a good phillips head 0 magnetic screwdriver, a pretty good memory on where your screws all went and what you unplugged, some rubbing alcohol (to clean out the heat sink {91%}], some q-tips, and some thermal paste (to replace what you cleaned up and on the new cpu) . You will need a flat head screwdriver when you get to the socket to unlock it.

Did you have to downgrade the Bios or use a specific Bios to get the CPU to run or no? My new CPU (T7300 that i got on ebay for 7 bucks) arrives tomorrow and i want to make sure that i can do any Bios tweaking prior to it.
