Currently at looking at upgrading my machine.

Currently looking to upgrade my machine with a new card mother, CPU and RAM. The machine in question initially started with what I guess is an OEM Windows Vista license key. It has since been upgraded and put it on Windows 7. My question is, is it possible to migrate the existing installation of Windows 7 on this new hardware? It's a Socket AM3 and DDR3 DDR2 AM2 socket if that helps at all. I was hoping for a solution simple IE / upgrade, then simply use the HARD disk immediately, but looking at the forums, it is not quite as simple as that. I hope you can shed some light on this puzzle

Because your Windows 7 is an upgrade license. You can not install a license upgrade on a Virgin motherboard. You must have an eligible license installed, which is not related to a previous motherboard. This can be a full retail version of Windows XP, Vista or even Windows 7.

    Hello

    Your laptop's card with Intel Dual core with UMA graphics card and the USB 3.0 version.

    The high processor upgrade possible, without changing the Board of Directors is 2640M i7 dual core (HP 666173-001 part number). Not much of a performance gain.

    If you want to upgrade to QuadCore i7 (i7 quad core 2860QM), you have to replace the Board of Directors. It'll be better buying a new laptop with the better than going to this costly upgrade card.

    I'm trying to get audio only from a video. I went to record audio only: (as shown) and there is no ' audio only ' click. do I have to upgrade the machine to live music, and if so, how?

    If you are looking to get audio only from a YouTube video, all you need to do is read your video and while it's going to copy the link. Then on another tab, open listentoyoutube.com. Just follow the easy directions and paste the link.

    Hope that helps. I found out a month ago and I have 4 CD made from these audio files. There is a lot of fun to find obscure stuff and making CD of songs.

  • Looking to upgrade HDD HP DV2419US?

    I have the HP DV2419US laptop and I am looking to upgrade my hard drive to a larger.  I contacted HP support, but they couldn't really give me a useful answer.  Can someone let me know what is the maximum size of hard drive will have my laptop?  I know there are SATA and 5 400 rpm.  Currently, my laptop has 160 GB.  Thank you in advance.

    In my view, would be a 320 GB size max safer. A 500 GB should work, but we've seen a few problems reported here on the forums with those.

    Hello

    Look over this case Rosewill Challenger. It is not very expensive and it allows you to mount the input of the power supply down to the option (on a hard surface is recommended as a carpet could cause problems of air flow).  Don't forget to take into account the width of the case when buying a system of cooling heat sinks cool air are high enough.  This case has a lot of large cooling fans.

    The existing media player could be a problem (finish and made search).

    I have one using the Rosewill future for one of my PC, but I see that it is out of stock Newegg.

  • Looking for upgrade my 8500 GT 640 XPS

    I guess that it's that time again when it is necessary to upgrade my GPU.  Since I'm a video card recommendation excellent last time when I upgraded my XPS 410, I thought that I ask again this large community of my 8500 video card recommendation.

    I'm looking to upgrade the video card in my XPS 8500 Vidia GT 640 stock with something more modern (e.g., 2 GB of memory).  I'm doing a moderate amount of games, so I need something that will give me a good framerate when executing a shooter like battlefield game 4 or CoD: Advanced Warfare on the spot (or Elite: dangerous on ultra if possible).  I don't have to spend a lot of money, maybe around $100?  I want something that will be easy to install and doesn't give me headaches down the road too (I don't like to mess with my bowels of PC too .)  In other words, a simple but good card for a modern game that will work very well on my XPS 8500.

    Any suggestion would be appreciated.  Yet one time, last time for my 410 I got a great recommendation of the community, so thanks for that!   Hope for another good move once again!

    I don't have to spend a lot of money, maybe around $100?

    you didn't say what you are playing to the resolution. 1920 x 1080?

    The price level of $100, it is difficult to get a really solid card for games, and I'm not sure that you will have the games you listed to 1080 p to work really well.

    two options are an nVidia GTX 750ti or an R7 AMD 260 X, but both are a little more than $100, say around $ 110 to $ 120

    Price $150 of best options, point you could get a 660 GTX or a R7 270 X

    I think that the best price/performance ratio would be if you can find a GTX 960 on sale for about $180-185 $

    I think that these work without problem in the XPS 8500, but I searched this forum for sure.

  • You are looking to upgrade the video card on HP p6213w to PCI-Express x 16 GTS 250

    I'm looking to upgrade my p6213w integrated to a PCI-Express x 16 GTS 250 video card video graphics. I have already updated to an Antec TP-550 power supply, anyone have suggestions on which GTS 250 fits on the card mother p6213w? Or has someone already updated their HP Pavilion p6213w with a video card PCI-Express x 16 and if so... one that adapts (brand, model, etc).

    I am interested in the PNY GTS 250 1024 MB PCIe Reference No.. VCGGTS2501XPB but wasn't sure if this map of space.

    Help or knowledge of those who have a HP Pavilion p6213w and installed a new PCI-Express x 16 video card would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    I couldn't find all the steps for the PNY graphics card.  However, the XFX GTS 250 1 GB is 9.0 "x 4,367 x 1.5".  It's a double profile (two locations).  You can measure the space for the card.  Measure from the inside edge of the case across the motherboard where the PCIE x 16 slot.  It is the approximate length of the card that fits.  You must be certain that a card double profile will fit, too.

  • 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.

  • Who is looking at my virtual machine using the VSphere Console at the same time?

    People,

    I would like to know if it is possible to know what VI Client / vSphere console user currently displays the Vmware console at the same time for a particular virtual machine I'm working on?
    Because right now, someone else is my VM console access and may have forgotten to close the VI Client and now I'm stuck.

    This is the error that I got when I try to connect to the console. Internal error MKS due to the 'RemoteDisplay.maxConnections with a value of 1"is in force.

    Thank you

    Hello, AlbertWT-

    Well, it seems that there is another way.  You can get the number of current connections of MKS (mouse keyboard screen) for the given virtual machine and uses this value to your Select statement.  Which must correspond with the users with current MKS connections to this virtual machine.

    So, what to put with what hosted proposed and you changed, it would be like:
    $strVMName = "myVM"## get VM; will use an ExtensionData value from this later$vm = Get-VM -Name $strVMName## get the events that are for console connects, sort, and then select the first X items, based on the number of current MKS connectionsGet-VIEvent $vm | ? {$_.FullFormattedMessage -like "Remote console Connected*"} | Sort CreatedTime -Descending | Select UserName, CreatedTime -First $vm.ExtensionData.Summary.Runtime.NumMksConnections | ft -AutoSize
    
    And, a variation on the last line, the one who checks the type of the VIEvent (vs do a string comparison):
    ## same, but check the event type instead of a string compare on the FullFormattedMessage (just to not rely on string compares)Get-VIEvent $vm | ? {$_ -is [VMware.Vim.VmRemoteConsoleConnectedEvent]} | Sort CreatedTime -Descending | Select UserName, CreatedTime -First $vm.ExtensionData.Summary.Runtime.NumMksConnections | ft -AutoSize
    

    The two should work, but the second version removes the dependency on the string comparison.  For example, if the FullFormattedMessage changes in the future implementations of vSphere, things should still work (However, this would be still vulnerable to break if VMware changed the name of the type of the event).  A bit of a preference thing.

    How does do for you?

    Note: by sorting on Createduserid, this process assumes that the current console connections have been made in the order.  In other words, if someone has been connected to the console of the virtual machine since yesterday and connect / disconnect / reconnect, _you_ will be the last two events Connect.

  • Looking for upgrade m7260n information

    Hello.  I have an old m7260n.  Looking to update everything that I can to handle some of the latest video games:

    I understand that I have my system will take care of 4 GB, but do not know how fast RAM I should get.

    I want to upgrade the processor and would like to know how to determine what CPU improvements will work with my motherboard (which I think is an Asus P5LP-, but not sure).   Also, how the decision factors in choosing a CPU.

    I definitely want to update the graphics card (currently: ATI Radion x300se, 128 MB of DDR memory).  I consider the upgrade to a dedicated graphics card, but don't know if it's possible, or how that will affect my computer when I use it for other basic things.

    I also wonder if I should get a faster hard drive (not sure how to check how fast mine is), or if any solid stare disc would work in my old computer.

    Thank you for helping me to upgrade my computer.

    Because your computer has only one power supply external 90W (PSU) it will be not possible to upgrade the video.  There is no slot on the motherboard for it, too.
