    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.

  • Compaq Presario CQ5600F: upgrade to M2N68-(Narra6)

    Hello. I have a desktop PC Compaq Presario CQ5600F which took a power surge. I use Windows 10 Pro and I'd like to update the Pegatron M2N68-(Narra5) motherboard M2N68-(Narra6). I saw some of these for the sale of the mobo. Can someone point me in the right direction. I'm trying to find the drivers and perhaps installation information. The motherboards I've seen are either used, rebuilt, or "other nine" with no accessories.

    Hi @stan7926,

    Thank you for your participation in the Forums of HP Support! It is a great location to get resolutions and interact with experts from the community. I understand that you need information on an upgrade of the motherboard of your PC. I'll be happy to help you with this.

It's always a great pleasure to work with tech-savvy and technically customers sounds like you. Kudos to you for this. I am amazed at your technical skills and levels of technical knowledge.

    First of all, the specifications are very clear on the HP website. It supports "M2N68-(Narra5)" with the drivers, BIOS and other updates available on the HP Web site. About the upgrade to M2N68-(Narra6), it may be possible, but before you buy the product, I would suggest that you contact a technician on-site that this motherboard is not listed by HP as a compatible Web site.

    I thank you greatly for posting your question on the forums of HP and for giving us the platform to help you. You are a customer of HP and we greatly thank you for doing business with HP.

    It is important that you are having problems with the bios and driver incompatibilities on the motherboard and windows 10 Therefore, it is recommended that you contact a local technician and check the compatibility of the motherboard before making any attempt to improve it. We cannot have the bios for it and corresponding drivers. Once again, you will need to visit the websites of 3rd party hardware manufacturers to update the bios and other drivers.

  • Compaq Presario CQ5300Y desktop PC - memory upgrade

    Hello, everyone! I hope you are all well.

    I have a desktop PC Compaq Presario CQ5300Y, to which I would like to upgrade the memory.

    The product specifications indicate clearly that the motherboard, a M2N68-(Narra5), 2 x DDR2 memory media. (In addition, the amount of installed memory is 2 GB.)

    The product specifications, in the information section of upgrade memory also mention the following:

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Dual channel memory architecture
    Supports two DDR2 DIMM (240-pin)

    Supported DIMM types:

    PC2-5300 (667 MHz)
    PC2-6400 (800 MHz)

    Memory non - ECC, unbuffered
    Supports DIMM DDR2 2 GB modules
    Supports up to 4 GB * on 32-bit PCs
    * 32 - bit operating systems cannot resolve a full 4.0 GB memory.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I'm clear (with what the article said) I have only available two DIMM DDR2 2 brackets.

    "What confuses me is the statement" ""supports 2 GB DDR2 DIMM '. This is the reason for my question.

    "Supports 2 GB DDR2 DIMM" means that I have to use 2 GB DDR DIMM only, which means I can only go to 4 GB? Or could I use 4GB DDR2 DIMM, which breaks the barrier of 4 GB?

    In a few words, I would like to - at least - 8GB (assuming that I find two modules DIMM DDR2 4 GB). Would it be possible to have the above configuration?

    It is important to mention that the PC is running a 64-bit operating system.

    I would appreciate the attention he can draw on this issue.

    Best regards.

    Hello:

    Each slot of memory on the motherboard of your PC cannot accept that a maximum of one module of memory of 2 GB.

    1 x 2 GB will work.

    2 x 2 GB will work.

    1 x 4 GB will not work.

  • The Compaq Presario 2100 laptop SSD upgrade

    I have a laptop Compaq Presario 2100 it was brand new in 2003. I have a newer laptop, but a train trying to upgrade the Presario 2100 as much as possible. This is the kind of a project now and I also want to get as much as possible out of it. I heard that SSDS are super fast and would improve performance a bit. Anyone did the upgrade to an SSD for their Persario 2100 notebook PC series already? All entries are appreciated, in particular information about the product that was used for the upgrade. If no one did, so nobody knows if it is possible to upgrade the Presario 2100 series laptop PC to an SSD?

    Thank you

    Believe it or not, the maintenance manual is always available.

    Manual

    The Presario 2100 uses old school PATA (EIDE) hard disks that are different from those of the SSD SATA see you more often on the market. However, there is a PATA SSD. They cost a bit more per concert, of course. I put a PATA SSD in a laptop on the same vintage as the Presario 2100 and it does significantly improve start-up time and overall performance, but talk about the proverbial earrings on a pig!

    This is a 64 GB SSD PATA that would be perfect for the Presario 2100, but $ 90:

  • the upgrade of processor in compaq presario cq4010f

    I have a desktop Compaq Presario CQ4010F running Windows 7 Home premium 64 with AMD sempiron chip factory, and I want to improve. I checked page plug product and learned that the motherboard is the manufacturer name: Pegatron M2N68 - LA (5 NARRATED), and HP/Compaq name: NARRA6 GL6. Then I checked the processor upgrade information and learned that it supports the image of socket AM2 + AMD Phenom II chip. I bought the AMD Phenom II X 4 940 3.0 GHz true quad design 8.0 MB total cache chip core. I've installed the chip, and while I was there, I added 1 GB of ram (leading to 3 GB total) just to be on the safe side. When I turned on the computer it tells me "unsupported processor' and turns off. I cursed loudly and ran things. Then I put the old chip in the back and it works fine. I checked the BIOS (the BIOS basic version: 6.0 BIOS revision: 5.54).  The new memory appears, so it's true.  I called a local computer repairman who did work for my mother in the past, and he told me that I have to upgrade the BIOS. I went to HP's download page, but there is no update of the BIOS for my machine. Then, I called 1 800 HP customer/tech support number, but had difficulty in communicating my problem because nobody speaks English as a first language. I cursed even louder and expelled more than things. My cat is still in hiding.

    My question: How can I get this chip to work? I really need to upgrade the BIOS? If Yes, where can I get the said upgrade? If this is not the case, how can I get the current BIOS to recognize the new CPU? How to coax my cat (grey and white tiger striped, 2 years, version 4.5) out of hiding?

    Help, please! I want to play Skyrim.

    Thank you!

    You can post a screenshot of what you mean. ?
    There should not be a difference between the two.

    Computers HP don't require processors HP. The processors are manufactured by AMD and Intel.

    Just compare the specifications of each against what you read in the text of presentation upgrade CPU on the portal of the web HP supported on your motherboard.

  • The upgrade of processor and the graph of Compaq Presario cq42-203au

    Hi guys,.

    I have a Compaq Presario CQ42-203AU with AMD processor and graphics. And what I want to ask is, can I upgrade the processor and graphics of my laptop? If it is possible, what is the maximum and graphic compatible processor for my laptop? I thank very you much for your help in advance.

    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.

  • Upgrade to a larger disk - compaq presario FR429AA

    I have a compaq presario FR429AA and the Device Manager in Windows 7 tellsme, I have a WDC WD32 00AAJS-65B4A SCSI Disk Device as my hard drive is internal. It comes to 320Gig, but I want to put in an internal 2 drive 3 TB to run as the main drive with the operating system and keep the old drive as additional storage space.

    I've heard of IDE, peripheral PATA and SATA, but sure of SCSI I'mnot main hard drive of the PC.  I can simply go with a SATA drive? Or I don't specifically tolook for a SCSI for this PC?

    Thank you

    The 2 TiB limit is due to the OS.  However, it is for a single player.  You can install several readers until, I think, 256 TiB on the system.  Using the old drive will create no problem.

    I suggest to do a system recovery using recovery discs.  This will save possible problems that may occur.  Here's a guide to help you.  Also, here is a guide to help you upgrade from Vista to Windows 7.

    I've never used Acronis Backup.  Therefore, I am not sure if your suggestion will not work correctly.  HP motherboards are tattooed with the major components of the computer.  If the motherboard doesn't detect these components, it won't an installation by using the recovery discs.

    and I would like to upgrade of his memory, I know that it can take up to 4 GB, but I'm not sure of the maximum speed of memory the motherboard can take and use fully without being too high speed. (for example, I won't buy a 1333 MHz Rams beacause I know that it is more than enough and that it is a waste of money)

    I am confused between buying a 667 MHz or a 800 MHz. So, could someone give me a hand here please

    Planning the upgrade on my HP - Compaq Presario SR1630NX memory. Before buying a product of memory, I want to make sure it is compatible with the Compaq. Info on the Compaq Presario SR1630NX memory is as follows: 1) 512 MB (2 x 256) memory installed in the 4 slots 2 DIMM; (2) 2 4 DIMM slots open. (3) type of memory is 184 pins DDR SDRAM. It is a bit confusing when you try to sort the different products available memory. Identified the PNY Memory twin 2048 MB PC3200 DDR 400 MHz memory (2 x 1024MB), Model #MD2048KD1-400. Memory is this product compatible and recommended? Otherwise, any suggestions?

    Hello

    JJM says:
    I ordered the Crucial memory upgrade kit. Then will come the real installation. I'm a little tentative trying to change modules of memory because I've not done this before. Are there problems I should be aware of that I open the SR1630NX, find the motherboard and memory sticks, remove and install new?

    It's really very simple.

    All it takes is patience and attention to the location of the index in the module and the game inside the DIMM slot.

    Unplug the power connector from the power outlet.

    Open the case.

    touch something metal in the case with your hand to dissipate static electricity from your body. I actually always use an anti-static wristband.

    Press the tabs on each side of a module locking and it comes out.

    use the thumb and forefinger on each end of a module and remove it carefully.

    during the installation of the modules to place them in the same locations you deleted the 'old' of.

    Search the index of the module tab and the tab corresponding inside the ALS DIMMt.

    Use the slots on the inside and under the locking tabs guide to guide the module in the DIMM connector correctly

    now, use your thumbs to the top end of the module for shake it gently in the DIMM slot.

    you will know that it is in place as you feel / hear a click.

    now check to make sure that the locking tabs are in place at the ends of the module.

    Repeat the process with the other modules

    That's all there is to it.

  • Compaq presario sr5518f upgrade processors

    First of all, I apologize if I do not write in the correct section.  A little new here.

    in any case, I'm going to completely overhaul my Compaq Presario SR5518F.  I'll get a new graphic/video card, power supply, and processor.

    Speaking of the processor, I have a question for someone who would know the upgrade of processors.

    The specs of my PC (which can be accessed HERE) said I can move to an Intel Core 2 Duo E7xxx.  I'm looking at upgrading to an Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 processor which has close to 3.0 Ghz (2.8 to be precise) of the operating speed.

    The question I have, is the Intel Core 2 Duo processor E7400 compatiable for my Compaq Presario computer motherboard?  I have never replaced or upgraded forever, and so I want to make sure I'm making the right decisions when buying upgrades.

    I would appreciate your help or you guys could give me advice.   Thank you and have a nice!

    Hello

    As you can see from the following link:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01386897

    It supports Core 2 Duo E7xxx (Wolfdale-M) CPU means that it will support CPU E7400 but you must update the BIOS to make sure.
