compaqCQ57: updates to compaq hardware

Have this laptop and need to give her muscles! It's not the product. isA7A54U #ABA. Thank you very much for your help with this. This also has the chip AMD E300.

Here is the Service Manual:

Manual

The big problem for upgrades, it's that, on models AMD, CPU is soldered to the motherboard. In addition, the E350 is, believe it or not, the top of the page AMD processor for this series of models. It was made to be sold at a very low price to Wal-Mart and other similar places.

Even if you found an Intel motherboard, it supports only low range, Celeron and Pentium Dual processors.

The best you could do to make that a little faster is max memory (DDR3-1333 SO-DIMM of 8 GB (2 x 4 GB)) and also install an SSD. I just took an SSD of 120 gig for $40 at Frys so if you can get by with a minimum of storage the laptop can be made usable but it will never be a performance machine.

  • I need to update my video hardware (video card)? How can I do?

    I need to update my hardware (video card?) video for a game that I want to play and I have no idea how to do that. I don't know where to look for what I have installed on my computer. Help please?

    [Moved from comments]

    Hello

    When you ask questions here at least provide your computer model number and version of the operating system and the system requirements for the game in particular.

    And a little tip for you: If you don't know what you're doing on your computer, you expose yourself to expensive damage to it by opening and remove the material and installation of new equipment.

    I suggest you get out your computer a good computer repair shop, local as well as the requirements for the particular game and ask them to upgrade the hardware that run the game.

    As well as installing a graphics card upgrade, you need memory RAM (memory) must be installed as well.

    System requirements for the game will tell you that information.

    See you soon.

    Ativa AT-52N13 card reader worked fine until I installed the update from the window: ITE-other hardware - UMass Storage Device (330).  As soon as the card reader is connected I get a BSOD: BAD_POOL_CALLER.  Windows stopped not to damage your computer.

  • Best updates for Compaq Presario?

    Hey guys,.

    Currently, I have a rather old system, it all works perfectly, and I take the best care all my hardware/software. I'm really at play here lately, and I've been playing World of Warcraft for the past 6 years. Well, I've had this computer for about 4-5 years and he ran the game fine, but now with the new expansion (cataclysm), it has been a bit sluggish.

    Updates only I bought because it's far more memory and a graphics card (Yes, I am overclocking the card as well). I am pretty intelligent computer and have more general knowledge then. But my knowledge base do not go as far as proccessors. And to be honest, I don't know what I should get, or weather I have to just buy a new computer all together.

    Here are all my system features:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00910224

    -I know that my problem lies in the proccessor, because I don't think he can handle the new action of intense game that has developed over the last 5 years or longer. My graphics card works perfectly and very very smooth everything. But when I enter persay, a 25 man raid, where everyone in the raid is casting/attack, then I drop from 60 frames per second (on max settings) at about 14 frames per second. I even tried decreasing my settings all the way, and I'm going 80 fps (on smaller settings) to about 22 images per second. Also, I have a very good internet service, one of the fastest on the market.

    So any ideas would be good, and it would be even better if someone could give me some links to the best proccessor for this socket/computer. I don't mean not all the more expensive outside, I mean something that runs very well of new age stuff.

    Thank you

    Here are the specifications Intel for processors E6xxx.  Note the size of level 2 cache.  A dual core 3.0 will only be a difference perceptible verses your current kernel.

If so any suggestions on a decent type of video card and power supply upgrades that usually cost an arm and a leg. My video card is now integrated and the provision of my Poweer is 300W. Any help would greatly be appritiated!

    The card will draw only a maximum of less than 30 Watts.

  • Updated my computer hardware, now not activate Windows Vista.

    I have recently (a few weeks ago) installed a new card mother and CPU, and now my copy of Windows Vista Edition basic family is "not authentic". I tried to enter the product key, and it comes back as invalid.

    I have recently (a few weeks ago) installed a new card mother and CPU, and now my copy of Windows Vista Edition basic family is "not authentic". I tried to enter the product key, and it comes back as invalid.

    A new motherboard is considered to be a new computer.

    The product key that is connected to the computer applies only to the "old" motherboard It does not apply to the new motherboard.

    Read that this response (s) from another thread on a similar, if not exact, question:
    Although the responses came from Win7 forum, same reasons apply to Vista.

    http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/w7install/thread/699b1b77-6090-4EAF-AA9C-2761f90b2080

    The question was:

    My old motherboard and CPU have been damaged and have been replaced. I try to use the same license that I used on the old machine, but it is not valid. Is there something I can do or do I have to buy a new license?

    Excerpts of answers:

    J.W. Stuart:
    If you have a version of Windows 7 OEM of your off lucky because the OEM key is linked to the PC/Mothboard forst installed it on.

    Andre Da Costa:
    OEM licenses are bound to the first computer you install and activate it on

    -OEM versions allow all the hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

    -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

    So, Yes, you must purchase a new license, a full version too: http://store.microsoft.com

  • Update of the hardware virtual server vCenter

    How can upgrade you to version 7 on vcenter material when it is a virtual machine. I'm trying to create a baseline and sanitize the it, but it does not work immediately and tells me that I can't because it runs vcenter.

    Thank you

    Scott

    you will need to connect to the ESX host in which your vCenter VM runs on, off, then make a right click on it to upgrade virtual hardware.

    Be sure to upgrade the tools of comments first however.

  • Update of the virtual hardware using the SDK?

    We are converting 2.5 VC to vSphere 4.0, and I'm curious to know if it is possible to automate the process of updating the hardware virtual of our VMS version 4 to version 7, so that we can start using them in an environment vSphere with all the bells and whistles. To be clear, I'm trying to know if there is a way to use the Perl API to duplicate the results I would get by right-clicking on a virtual machine in the VC and selecting "Update of virtual hardware".

    Yep, you'll need to get a reference to an offline VM and then call the UpgradeVM_Task method and specify the version, and in this case it will be 7
