The HP G60 121WM can only support a Core 2 Duo processor from the GM45 chipset. The best processor that you can upgrade to is the T9400, which is a 2.53 GHz dual-core processor.
Here is a list of compatible processors for the HP G60 121WM:
Intel Core 2 Duo T7200
Intel Core 2 Duo T7300
Intel Core 2 Duo T7500
Intel Core 2 Duo T7600
Intel Core 2 Duo T9300
Intel Core 2 Duo T9400
If you try to install a processor that is not on this list, your laptop may not boot up or it may not function properly.
Here are some things to keep in mind when upgrading the processor in your HP G60 121WM:
Make sure that the processor is compatible with your motherboard.
Make sure that the processor has the same socket type as your motherboard.
Make sure that the processor has the same or higher clock speed than your current processor.
Make sure that the processor has the same or more cache than your current processor.
I hope this helps!

I'm sorry, but the HP G60-121WM laptop uses a fixed motherboard specifically designed for that model, and it does not support processor upgrades. The processor, in this case, is soldered onto the motherboard, which means it cannot be removed or replaced with a different model. The HP G60-121WM laptop is equipped with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, and unfortunately, you won't be able to upgrade the processor to a higher-performance model.
If you're looking for improved performance, you may consider upgrading other components such as the RAM (memory) or replacing the hard drive with a solid-state drive (SSD), which can enhance the system's overall speed and responsiveness. Remember to always consult your device's manual or manufacturer's website for accurate information and compatibility before attempting any upgrades.
If you have any further questions or need assistance with anything else, feel free to ask!
I hope this is helpful? PLEASE "ACCEPT" and mark it "HELPFUL" to complement my little effort. Hope to bring you more detailed answers.
