RECALL NEWS: HP recalls flaming batteries

[format c:]

Went to HP's website, entered my laptop make,model, serial number and battery number ( Which fell within the recall parameters )
I was told my battery pack is OK
Now I want to figure out what kinf of CPU it has, I know it is a socket 754 athlon XP 1.6 gig 128 L1 cache
I want to know If I can drop and athlon 64 into this machine to give it some more power

It all depends on the model, usually you can just get the same cpu model, just faster for a laptop. Whats the model for your HP?

HI there, I have a Compaq Presario r3000
Currently it has a socket 754 athlon xp-m 2800+
the specs on it are 1.6 ghz,128 L-2 cache
I believe it is an nforce 3 chipset
I almost wonder if I can drop a 64 bit cpu in there, I did find out that the family number is 15 but I need acrobat reader and my Linux box does not have that
I hope to have my Windows box going if I can get the onboard lan working on the a8nsli premuim
