Can satellite A350 - I put the CPU to 2.4 or 2.6 Ghz

Hey, I just bought an A350, and I have an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0 ghz processor, but I want to spend about 2.4 to 2.6 ghz. Here are my questions.

1. is it possible to do?
2. it is worth?
3. I have an Intel Centrino sticker on the keyboard. It has confused me to I have a Core 2 Duo or Centrino.

I have general knowledge on computer, but I'm not an expert. Any help would be appreciated muchly.

Thank you.

> 1. Is it possible to do?
Nothing is impossible, but the question is if it s recommended. In my opinion it s undesirable. First the CPU upgrade will void your warranty. Then no one would be able to tell if the laptop would be stable after these updates and if the BIOS support so correctly. There is a high risk of overheating because silt CPU creates more heat dissipation which would lead to a temperature more high
Last but not least you won't see a big performance gain.

> 2. It is worth?
I think it s not worth. Check point 1.

> 3. I have an Intel Centrino sticker on the keyboard. It has confused me to I have a Core 2 Duo or Centrino.
I have a laptop equipped Satellite of the Intel Core 2 DUO T8100 (2 .1GHz) CPU and I ve got the same Intel Centrino sticker.
The Centrino sticker means that the processor supports this technology, but this does not mean that it's Centrino processor.

For more details about the Intel Centrino technology, please see this page of Intel:

    /F

    Hello!

    Theoretically a CPU can be improved but I don't it.

    The point is that you will lose the warranty of your laptop and it s not supported by Toshiba. This means that no one will be able to tell if your cell phone will work stable or not. The BIOS is not designed for other processors, and there is a high risk of compatibility problems.

    If you want to learn more on this subject, see this article from Toshiba of the area of the FAQ:

    Finally and above all you shouldn't t forget with a CPU upgrade you will notice not all stimulates good performance.

    I checked the manual of the Satellite A350 and I founded the following information:

  • Can satellite A350 - I change the size of the partition?

    Hello

    When I bought my Satellite A350 I noticed that she was divided into 2 discs, 1 C: drive called Vista who had 149GB and the other player called E: data which has 147 GB with 141 GB of free space that contains a folder named HDDRecovery giving a total of about 300 GB.

    What I would like to make which I do not know if it is possible, unless I send it away is the following: unpartition 2 readers is 1 disk, partition it then again in 2 discs but this time Vista C: drive to have 250GB while the other drive E: data with the recovery of 50 GB. I have the recovery disks as well. Do you know if it is possible to do what I want without having to send in the manufacture? And if so, how?

    I also run Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1.

    Hello

    Hmmm. You can try to reduce the second partition in disk management.

    You can find it in the control panel. You will find the link to the System Maintenance and then click Administrative Tools to open the Administrative Tools folder. Click computer management to open the computer management window. You'll find disk management.

    As I said above, you could try to shrink, first of all, the second partition, and then could attempt to add the free space on the first partition. But to be honest, I doubt that this would be possible because the free space would be located behind the second partition and you can't add it to the first partition C.

    Anyway, check it and play around maybe it will be possible
    But note; You should have the recovery disk created because there is always a small risk that you would confuse the hard drive.

    Hello

    Let me give you a piece of advice: before you start a new topic, you should somewhat serach using the search function of the Forum. This question was asked 100 times, I think, or more.

    However, Toshiba doesn t CPU update laptops and you will lose the warranty. The motherboard and BIOS are configured for CPU preinstalled and no one is able to tell if it s support another CPU or not.

    Hi liwil

    If you want to know how fast your FSB is then install a free diagnostic such as Everest home edition tool.
    Here you can check how fast the FSB supports and if it s worth to use faster memory modules.

    Generally, it is possible to use modules faster but as that proposed by Luke the FSB might slow down the speed.

  • Can Qosmio F20 - I put the CPU?

    Can upgrade us our processor in the F20?

    Like all games that we need 2.4 GHz or more.

    You can upgrade the processor, but in your case I wouldn't have that.

    A newer or faster CPU produces more heat than it could perhaps not cooled cooling assembly. In addition, I doubt that the BIOS will support another CPU.

  • Can satellite A100 - I put the HARD drive with 7200 RPM model?

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A100-044, I would spend my the 120 GB HARD drive to a more large (250 GB or 320 GB).

    A 7200 RPM would work on this subject? It seems Web compatibility sites they show 5400 RPM more, I would like to set up my laptop for recording/mastering so music wants a fast machine, I don't really mind if it consumes more energy...

    Any thoughts?

    Thank you
    Stone

    Hello!

    Of course, you can swap the HARD drive with a model more fast using 7200 RPM. But as you say, it takes a little more energy. The new HARD drive should be a little faster, especially access time should be lower.

    250 GB or 320 GB should be possible; you need a HARD drive with SATA interface.

    I hope I could help a bit.

  • Can satellite 5110/5100 series - I put the CPU?

    Is it possible to upgrade the processor of my satellite 5110, it's a p4 1.8 m and I would put something faster. If anyone knows if the maximum speed may take, and it will have need of what type/model of pentium. I guess intel only at that time did two m mobile processors?
    Mine is a '5110' of the Australia.

    Hello

    Usually the CPU upgrade is not possible because of the connection to the motherboard. I really don't know the details of your device, but if you have the time you can call the service in your country and pick up some info.

    By the way: in case something like this is possible you are able to do it alone?

  • Re: Can Satellite P200-036024 - I put the CPU and the GPU?

    Hi all

    I had a quick search through the forum and have not found answered this already, so: I have a P200-036024, with the stock Intel Core 2 Duo T7500. I recently updated the RAM and HARD drive, and now I'm interested in upgrading the processor. Exactly what series of processors is compatible with the motherboard, or what is the most powerful CPU I could put in this laptop?

    In addition, two other questions before I forget:
    1. the HDMI port on the left of this laptop - is this Type A or Type B (or C)?
    2. If the video card (ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2400) can be improved as well?

    Cheers all,.
    DMcG

    Upgrade the CPU is a delicate process, the problem is that the BIOS can not recognize the CPU correctly, or the system may overheat.

    Your best option would be to look at the other P200 in the same range (the other models PSPB6A-xxxxxx) and use this CPU. This way you can be sure that the CPU is working.

    As for the VGA card, its not expandable because the BIOS is designed to work with a particular VGA card, more they use non-standard designs so you can just buy a faster card and install it.
