When I recently tried to replace the "dead" HD for my Pavilion zv6000, I was surprised to find that HP doesn't sell parts for this model anymore. I was fortunate in that I found a compatible HD for a lot less than I expected and it works fine. Now I want to upgrade to Windows 7 and need at least a 1g CPU. I presently have a Sempron 3200+ which is a bit slow. I need to find a compatible CPU. Can anyone recommend a processor and where to look for it. Information on any "Gotchas" to look out for would be greatly appreciated.?

I think a memory upgrade would be a more sensible move.

Or just buy another laptop with the hardware you want in it. .

WYDuane, make a search here in this forum(lower left corner on this page) for zv6000, you will find some topics dealing with cpu upgrade on that laptop.

WYDuane you should more explain that what is your processor and ram then I can suggest you anymore. Most important what is your cache memory
