  Hi Avandre,

  Yes, you can upgrade hardware components. Because it is a laptop, you may need to contact the manufacturers of computers for the options available or compatible devices.

• AMD A6 Series: How to speed up my laptop for games

  Product number: How can J5t41UA #ABA I speed up my laptop without losing too much money?

  To provide a little explanation, there is really little of anything you can do with a laptop.

  To speed up your desktop for games, you could consider all the following:

  (1) upgrade the current processor to a more powerful and faster that remains compatible with the motherboard

  2) install faster memory - if it is available and if the motherboard will handle it.  If the faster memory is not available, then the current memory overclock (and if necessary, the CPU as well)

  (3) install more memory - if you use very little, say 1 GB

  (4) replace the integrated graphic card graphics high-end focus on the game - which will be VERY expensive!

  (5) replace the hard drive with one of the new, high-end SSD

  In a laptop, you can often add more memory, but not enough to actually help gaming performance; and also, you can replace the hard drive with an SSD.  But even in this case, comparative tests have shown that game by using an SSD does not result in the improvement of the notable performance during the game with a hard drive at high speed.

  So, basically, no, there is really nothing you can do to turn your laptop into a game machine.

• The upgrade of Pavilion for games p7-1010. do I need a new fan?

  Model: HP Pavilion p7-1010 product number: BV703AA

  Windows 7 64 bit

  Hi, a couple of weeks ago, I asked a lot about my computer and its updates on the forum. Now I'm wondering if I need a new fan for my computer.  IM converting the HP Pavilion p7-1010 in a computer game.

  When I saw the forum until I asked and confirmed that the 6870 Sapphire Raedeon and the Corsair Builder Series 600W power supply suited my computer and would be excellent updates to level for my computer (if this declaration is not accurate, please let me know).

  Currently, besides these updates, that i'm going to but soon, that my computer has a fault completely make up and appear exactly from the list of Hp.  I now wonder if I need a fan with these upgrades to cool the system, and if so do you have any recommendations?  I looked online and got conflicting results, thank you!

  PS: The links in this post do not work for some reason any.

  Hello

  The post above mine says "in" an office not on a desk.  I saw where a PC was placed inside an office that is made for a mini-tower or slimline, only to discover that the PC during the heat.  Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.  Depends on the ventilation of the office, the ambient air temperature and the amount of heat is generated by the PC if, inside an office work.

• Looking to upgrade my laptop HP G62

  As the title says, I'm looking to upgrade my laptop for games. And it looks like I'm going to need a new video card and CPU.

  I visited Can You Run It? (http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/) and suggested at least for the: processor Intel Core 2 Duo 1.8 GHz / AMD Athlon 64 X 2 4400 + 2.3 GHz.

  And at least for the video card: 256 MB / Shader 3.0, NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT or ATI Radeon HD 3000 +.

  He said that my laptop model is HP G62 + -250 (hopefully this means something to someone...  :-/)

  Edit: Its a Windows 7 Home Prem OA.

  I wonder what is the highest, I go for a CPU and video card, but try to keep my wallet happy?

  Help a girl out?

  This project any attempt is DOA. There is no possible upgrade for the video card. It's a chip that is soldered to the motherboard.

  For a game that need a GeForce 8800 you will search long and hard and spend a lot of money on a laptop computer that he would go. You can upgrade the processor, but it is expensive and difficult and won't improve game by a significant amount. My best advice is to build a desktop computer that meets the specifications for the game.

• This laptop is good for games like WoW or the Sims 3?

  I want to get a new laptop around the mark of $400 - $800 or less may be possible (but I doubt it) that can operate computer games and is good for other things.

  Does anyone know a good laptop, I could get?

  Hello

  If you want to use the laptop for games, I recommend buying one with an external graphics card. Means the graphics card should not be a part on Intel CPU (Intel HD GPU) but you must choose the laptop with a chip graphic ATI or nVidia GPU.

  See the Toshiba product page for more details on laptops equipped with such GPU

• Upgrade the RAM for HP ENVY dv7-7233nr

  How much could I add? I currently have 481 GB free of 569 GB. My computer will not slow down, but I use this laptop for games and I would like to have more space for custom content for the Sims 3 to download. It works not too badly, but there is a little late, and sometimes it freezes. I don't know if it is possible to add ram, so that's why I'm here.

  I would like to know how I'm going to do.

  Hello

  A little delay could be due to its graphics, BUT you can't do anything on this subject. Your machine currently has 6 GB of RAM:

  You can switch to 16 GB as shown:

  You can buy from them or use the information (including the price) to buy elsewhere.

  I'm looking to upgrade my processor for games. I currently have:

  CPU: Intel Core i3 4130 (dual-core) synchronizing to 3.5 GHz (socket LGA 1150)

  Mobo:HP 2AF7, Intel Haswell H87 Chipset rev 06

  Is there any particular processor (preferably less $ 200) which would be good for gaming?

  Please let me know what you recommend.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Review the processors that are updated approved for HP 500-270.

  I suggest that you consider using a discrete graphics card before the upgrade of the processor.

  Consult this publication of the article.

  The NVIDIA GTX 750 graphics card would be a good choice for the games with high settiings game support.  Looking for a 750 that does not require a power supply connector 6-pin PCI-E auxiliary.

  Are there any upgrade, I can get to the integrated graphics card?

  Graphics chips for this type of laptop computers are soldered to the motherboard. The only way how to change is to replace the motherboard with a compatible one equipped with a more powerful chip. See the manual.

• Problems encountered during the upgradation of windows7 for windows8 in my laptop Dell Inspiron 5520.

  I'm halfway to the upgradation of windows7 for windows8 in my laptop Dell Inspiron 5520. I wonder to uninstall software for USB 3.0, Dell stage, Bluetooth, ports etc. of windows7, citing compatibility problems. How do I proceed? Similar software will be installed during the process once I have finished installing windows8? Because now, my internet connection is through the USB data card. Please advice of emergency

  What I suggest you do is download Windows 8 and create a bootable on a Flash DRIVE or DVD you can do an offline installation. Although the wizard upgrade of Windows 8 is the first download before to actually copy the files.

  You can uninstall the proposed components that affect the download installation files.

  I am record an audiobook, but have problems with her e so much, advises him to check if there was an upgrade sound card for my laptop. I'm a complete beginner, any help would be appreciated in simple language.

  No, there is no way to upgrade the on-board his, it is soldered to the motherboard, but they do not have some cards usb sound pretty good.

  http://www.Amazon.com/Sabrent-virtual-external-surround-USB-AUDD/DP/B00D69U1B0/ref=zg_bs_3015427011_3

  It's a good deal and they go up from there. USB sound cards do not receive electronic interference a lot as the one inside the chassis.

  In fact, I have a collection of these because I used to do some recording and edition of the work. I stopped using them because the cards his edge in laptops and desktop computers got very good these days.

  If the problem is currently recording using an external microphone or tries to use the built-in function? For any serious recording, you will need to get a decent helmet.
