HP pavillion 6736 processor upgrades

dan stearns — Fri, 25 Oct 2002 03:39:50 GMT

hello all, i have an HP Pavillion 6736 KR, and i am looking to buy a newer, faster processor. the website (http://www.hp.com/cgi-bin/cposupport/get_doc.pl?SNI=hppavilion24610&LC=personal_computing&Tfile=bph06110#P10_638) says not to push the processor beyond 800 mHz, but does anyone have any reason why going to a 1 GHz Celron or a 1.5 GHz AMD athlon processor is a bad idea? Should it or should it not theoretically work?

any help would be appreciated because processors arent really my department

thanks,
dan

Dan,

You cannot go faster than the Bios or Clock will allow.

It is a design limitation.

However, there may well be workarounds or replacement boards. Best source for help on this wuld be the Pavilion forums -- there are quite a few very knowledgeable people there who can probably help.
