Although I would not personally see any real advantage to it, the Compaq 610 does have a version featuring the Intel Core 2 Duo T5870 so that upgrade should be possible. I personally doubt it would be fiscally responsible to do the swap but if a good deal can be found on the T5870 it should be doable with minimal issues.
I will recommend ensuring you have the latest BIOS version (version F.20 date: 2 Dec 2011) before doing the swap.

I have talk at the HP for my pc and they said me that:No the motherboard you have only supports CPUs with a front side bus of 533 mhz. The version of the 610 that came with a T5870 processor with an 800 mhz fsb had a different motherboard. That was the only Core 2 Duo offered on the HP Compaq 610 which is kind of a basic business machine made out of inexpensive components. what is your propose to do?
