Compaq?  Probably not.  Proceed at your own risk.

Branded computers are generally NOT processor upgradeable, you never know what will happen if you try.  You buy the CPU, it doesn't work, then you are out of luck.

koolkai here's some more info...

Every major MBoard manuf. makes generic labeled MBoards that are sold en masse' to the main PC builders...HP, Compaq, Dell...and others.
The problem is even though the board may show up as a mainstream model# in a sysinfo search or other tool they have been sometimes modified to the builder's specs...these small changes could be anything.

The manuf. release little or no info on these whiteboards so finding out exactly will run on a pre-built OEM machine is next to impossible.

CC is by no means trying to discourage you...rather attempting to save you the loss of hard earned money as he's probably seen this situation before.
It happens and it's no fun.

Doing your own build can be not only a learning but rewarding experience...let us know if you need suggestions.

Your question has already been answered, but I'll re-answer it.

As stated by HP:

Motherboard description   

    * Motherboard manufacturer's name: ASUS A8AE-LE
    * HP/Compaq name: AmberineM-GL6E

CPU/Processor   

    * Socket: 939
    * Supports the following processors:
          o AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+
          o Athlon 64 4000+
          o AMD Sempron 3200+

However, you do this at your own risk. As stated by both Patio and CC, there can be issues with changing the processor in a board of this nature.


And to answer your second question:

can i put this in my motherbord?
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ Windsor 3.0GHz Socket AM2 125W Dual-Core Processor Model ADX6000IAA6CZ - OEM

Based on what HP's website says, no.
