Question I need help with CPU compatibility list for my laptop's motherboard ?

[kiwi___]

I have a HP Pavilion dv6-1314tx laptop and the motherboard is Quanta 3628 with an Intel Core 2 Duo T6600. I wanna know what CPUs are compatible with this motherboard and laptop model?

This web page lists Intel Core2 Duo CPUs for Socket P and the T6600 is almost at the top of the performance range for that series.

Are you trying to replace a dead CPU? If not, there seems little point in looking for anything faster. Only the T7500 is shown as fractionally quicker and I've no idea if the HP BIOS will accept different CPUs. I'd recommend contacting HP to see if they locked the BIOS to work with a restricted range of CPUs.

The T6600 was released in Q1 2009, so that probably makes your laptop design around 14 years old. It should be fine running Windows XP or Windows 7, but it will struggle with Windows 10. Alternatively you could install a Linux distro specifically designed to work on old hardware.

Asking the same question again will not give different answers.

Question - Laptop's CPU Upgrade

I have a really old laptop, it's a HP pavillion dv6 and has core 2 duo T6600 as CPU. I searched it up and it has PGA478 socket which is as far as I know supports CPU upgrades, I want to upgrade my CPU. Can anyone tell me what CPU would be a good upgrade and how can i do it?

If at first you don't succeed (with a hopeless task), try, try again.
