Compaq Presario C731TU: RAM and CPU max UPGRADE Presario C731tu chipset GLS960 cpusocket PPGA478 RAM and CPU max UPGRADE

Hi all!

I have a Compaq Presario C731TU I absolutely need to upgrade its opportunities top of page. I discovered that he could run processor family Intel core 2 duo, and celeron family, that sounds really good!

Then consulted taken PPGA478 processors on the site of intel with their processor feature filter (http://ark.intel.com/search/advanced?s=t&FamilyText=Legacy%20Intel%C2%AE%20Core%E2%84%A22%20Processo...)   the best option seems to be Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T9500 (2.60 GHz, 800 MHz FSB, 6 MB Cache).

My question is:

Is there another cpu option better? Inside of a forum, I read that it can withstand up to Intel C2D T9xxx family but after T9500 (e.g. T9600 or T9900) taking turns into PGA478 and not PPGA478. What is the difference between PPGA478 and PGA478? are they the same or not?

Are there limits on the CPU with the BIOS upgrade? (mine is upgrated to F34 which should be the latest version)

About RAM: this laptop should work max 2 GB of ram but in fact I use it with 3 GB of ram (with these config.: 1 GB on the inner slot and 2 GB on the external, the inverse solution does not work, can not guess why), but someone "found a way" to use the 2 banks of 2 GB 4 GB total (and if according with this http://www.intel.com/Assets/PDF/specupdate/316274.pdf - pag. 19 - should be quite possible) , what ram 2x2gb modules can be accepted if? Help me = S

Thank you very much in advance!

I opened the laptop and the chipset inside the computer, wirtten there is an INTEL GL 960 who should manage only 553 mhz FSB... But... I installed inside, as the core 2 duo t9300, which has 800 Mhz FSB and it is fully functional in frequency from 800 Mhz to FSB. Really good news =)

AIDA 64 tool (former Everest) shows the FSB of GL960 chipset can run on 533, 667 and 800 Mhz frequency.

    Hello, just let everyone know that my upgrade worked.

    -Processor

    Updated for intel T9300 as reference. probably could support the x 9000, but it was much more expensive is not a value

    -Memory:

    I was skeptical with past more than 4 GB, however, currently functioning 6 GB (2 X 4). foung are not accidents of errors due to modules. Works perfectly.

    . After these updates, I installed small SSD, which added to the startup that gave more boost to the system.

    . Replaced the DVD with Caddy drive through visruth, installed with 1 TB

    . Replaced with 12 cells battery

    Conclusion:

    This unit of 8 years demonstrated startup, transformation and loading speeds that could be compared to couple of old machines, 6 GB working memory space that can accommodate witout heavy programs using the file (actually disabled) Exchange and on the storage of Tera bytes to store every necessary thing making the year becomes mordern General phone use. Only thing that is not dealing with it is the graphics card. Besides that all is well, infact it runs more more fees than before.

  • Upgrade RAM Compaq Presario V3641AU questions

    Hey guys,.

    Before you go out and buy little RAM to upgrade this aging laptop, I wondered how much RAM the system supports. I did some research on Google and find that some sources indicate 4 GB max, while others say 2GB maximum. I always imagined that it was a 2 GB max, but according to the following HP site it says 4 GB. If it's 4 GB I go and buy 2x2gb sticks otherwise will have 2x1GB sticks. Did anyone done this before?

    http://www.upgradeable.com.au/HP-Compaq/Presario-notebook-v3641au.html

    Thank you

    PS: Can I use RAM that is clocked higher than the recommended that some of the stores sell not more than DDR2 667? A store near me sells DDR2 800, which will be OK to use?

    Hello:

    Please see the manual on the link below.

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c01154809.PDF

    See Chapter 1, page 3.

    Because your model has the AMD processor, you can install 2 x 2 GB of memory (4 GB) PC2-6400.

    The manual says PC2-5300, but I know for a fact that the chipset can run at 800 MHz memory, so you can get the speed of the memory too much.

    And even if it isn't, the memory PC2-6400 will just downclock to 667 MHz, so you have everything to gain and nothing to lose.

    I have the same chipset in my dv6810us and I swapped memory 2 x 2 GB PC2 - 6400 and mine runs at 800 MHz.  I have the processor Turion TL-60.

    Cheaper place to buy memory, IMO and here are my recommendations, FWIW.

    The question is what the CPU can be used as a possible substitute for a performance on the T4200 gain?

    The following text appears to be very similar to the T4200, but roll up a gear clock spec. None of them would be viable and of course even wouldn't she do on such an older machine now? The BIOS would support a higher clocked CPU speed?

    T4300 (2.1 GHz), T4400 (2.2 Ghz), T4500 (2.3 Ghz), - all ran 800 Mhz bus speed and 1 MB of L2 cache

    Thank you

    Yes, there is a point in going more slowly so that your pc supports dual channel.
    You have 800 MHz if you hace two-channel memory will clock at 533 Mhz and then multiplied twice which is 1066 Mhz
    It is a parameter which allocates memory of your cpu (long story)
    and as I can see, your PCH supports 1066 Mhz which will make it intresting.

  • Presario sg-3320il: upgrade of RAM Compaq presario sg-3320IL

    Hello

    My office - compaq presario sg3320il originally supplied with 1 GB ddr2 RAM (2 x 512 MB sticks). I bought a 2 GB Transcend DDR2 800 Mhz RAM stick (model number: JM800QLU - 2G). It worked perfectly when I removed the old sticks pre-installed and added this new RAM stick only (IE, with a total of 2 GB of memory). I bought another stick of 2 GB of RAM - same brand, same frequency, same model number too and now when that is added with the older 2 GB of RAM, it does not work properly. Some weird appears on the start screen for half the time and sometimes when I restart the system, he gets up to system boot and then hangs or restarts.

    The two 2 GB RAM when used only work perfectly. Product specifications are here as well as the news of upgrade memory - http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/Compaq-Presario-SG3320IL-Desktop-PC/3697170/model/3707607/docume...

    Help, please

    Hello again @kau_shik_51094,

    In the case of 2 RAM sticks not even work together, I suspect that the slot on your motherboard is damaged.

    Really, there may be another explanation that your computer works with both sticks independently of each other, but not together and since they are the exact same it leaves only the motherboard as the problem.

    I hope this helps. Thanks again for your post on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

    Hello world

    I have a Compaq Presario CQ57-104TU. I recently decided to upgrade the ram (currently 1 x 2 GB Elpida PC3 - 10600 1333 Mhz). I bought 2 x 4 Gb Hynix HMT451S6AFR8A, PC3L-12800. Unfortunitely when I install the new Ram (Hynix)

    the computer does not start. Is there something I can do or the Ram is not compatible?

    Any help would be appreciated,

    Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    See p.2. Specified memory is DDR3-1333 1.5 volt and you try to install low-voltage DDR3-1600. In addition, memory that you are trying to install is high density, because it has 4 blocks on each side, where I am betting that original memory was of low density (8 blocks). Long story short, it is not compatible. It do you no good to install DDR3-1600 by the way. Best of cases, it will anyway be downclock speed 1333.

    Hello Angaahai ;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    I read your post about upgrading your CPU and wanted to help.

    This link is to HP for your PC product page: http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/Compaq-Presario-CQ42-Notebook-PC-series/4121902/model/4149187/manuals

    If you right-click on the entry of l maintenance and Service Manual, you can download this PDF on your PC.  On page 94, it lists the compatible processors, and on the next page, he begins the removal and replacement procedures.

    Unless you did something like this many times before, I would advise to do it yourself.  It is very hard to do and is easy to break something in the process.  It would be better to have a business service center works on laptops do this for you.

    Good luck

  • Issue of upgrade CPU laptop (Compaq Presario)

    Hello

    Can someone please confirm that my Compaq Presario B1223TU, who has a processor Intel T5250 CPU can be upgraded to the Intel T9500 (Penryn) 2.6 GHhz.

    I already installed the latest version of BIOS 68MSU f.0Une on my computer.

    After checking the site Web of Compaq to my computer here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-57986-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&...

    In the correction and improvement of article he States: "adds support for new Intel processors.

    What exactly are these new Intel processors because it is not clear? It's the BIOS version 68MSU ROM. F05

    I guess that means it supports the new Penryn T9500, T8100, T8300 and T9300 processor, but I'm not sure.

    I also found this site selling retail who says that it is supported as well for my particular laptop but it does not include the Intel T9500: http://www.ambry.com/page/modelnu/GS111PA/463050-001.html

    Can someone please confirm that the T9500 is a possible upgrade for me. Thank you.

    Hello Netbuckler,

    I understand that you are interested in upgrading the processor and graphics card on your laptop, is that correct? I will try and provide you with information that needed to get there.

    The processor can be improved in this particular notebook. If you go to page 91 in the maintenance manual , it will give you a list of processors and it will show you the steps to do it yourself. I don't know what your current status of security with this laptop, but if you are still covered the upgrade of the processor warranty this I just want you to be aware.

    Now and then when you're dealing with the graphics card it is soldered to the motherboard if you will not be able to update. If you really want to improve the graphics, as you go through the motherboard. There is a list of those on page 81 in the owner's manual as well.

  • Compaq Presario 2545US upgrade (DC970A) CPU, compatible CPU?

    I have a HP Pavilion nx9010 (DV134U) for parts for my Compaq Presario 2545US (DC970A). It's practically a twin, internal differences only being their mothers and processor cards. The Presario's 31KT9MB0030 system board and CPU Pentium 4 d 2.40 GHz (SL6RZ). The Pavilion has 31KT9MB0056 system board and CPU Pentium 4 d 2.80 GHz (SL6PF). My question is whether I would be able to run the nx9010 CPU in the 2545US without a critical thermal problems. They both have the same 3-fan and heatsink of huge heat cooling system.

    Any help, advice and information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    According to some old posts here by Clinton Tam, it seems that the Presario will work until a 2.80 GHz CPU P4 - D. In the manual, in the list of replaceable parts, it was available with other processors P4 - D. I saw no motive P4s. In the list of spare parts on the HP Business Support site for the nx9010, it was available with several processors P4 - D, not the P4s Mobile only. The difference is in the motherboards. The motherboard in the 31KT9MB0030 Presario 2545US (326682-001) and those in the Pavilion nx9010 is 31KT9MB0056 (344178 001). 30 is not the voltage regulator / VRM necessary for the performance of a portability, or Mobile P4. 56 the fact. Thus, the Presario I can only run the P4 - D processors and the nx9010 that I can run simultaneously P4 - D and M - P4 CPU.
