No , The amd 4000+ is a socket 939 but R3000 only supports socket 754 so the highesy you can go is the amd athlon 3700+

If the R3000 motherboard has a 754 socket type, then, you can only go up to 3700+ (I checked on NewEgg)

You are correct... But that CPU may only be supported by the latest BIOS revision...

I recently updated to the F.34 BIOS and I think that is the most current.

I downloaded the BIOS update off HP's website. I think the R4000 is based on socket 939.

Not yet. I will post on here when I do and tell you how it went.



P.S. I didn't win the Bytecc laptop cooler. I ordered the new Vantec Lapcool3 from newegg.com for $19.99. I will tell you how good it is once I get it.
