Does make sense to upgrade to improve CPU E4500?

Just more curious than what anyone whether or not it makes sense to upgrade the E4500 processor to something better in my HP Compaq DC7800 minitour.

I just noticed there are a lot of new processors socket 775 as my E4500 processor, which is 2.2 Ghz, 2 MB cache L2, FSB FSB 8oo.

I mostly use this computer for some average games (mostly 'source' based Steam games, which are not as intense graphics, as much recent games) as well as some general image processing. Also want to do as well light video editing.

I wonder if anything under $100 would make a significant difference, or whether to just save for a newer computer.

Thanks in advnace.

Hello:

I have a dc7800 with processor E8300 (stock entry) and I like the additional performance due to the larger cache.

I don't know how the FSB of 1333 MHz plays in the equasion, because the memory at 800 MHz is a bottleneck.

And HP installed memory PC2-5300 in most dc7800 who makes it worse to 667 MHz unless you put all chips from 800 MHz to your PC, as I did.

If you want to upgrade, I'd go to E8600 and which should be a nice improvement.

I also maxed out the memory to 2 x 2 GB PC2 - 6400, running W7 Pro 64 bit.

You can buy a used, but tested and functional E8600 for $48.00 on eBay.

http://www.eBay.com/Sch/CPUs-processors-/164/i.html?_FROM=R40 & _sop = 15 & _nkw = E8600 & RT = NC & LH_BIN = 1

I'm sure that you will need to install the latest firmware update for not having any processor microcode error.

I would also add that if you do not have a dedicated graphics card then, it will do much more for you than upgrading the processor, what about the graphics performance is concerned.

I put a Radeon HD 6570 in my dc7800 CMT and it works just great.

You can do an update of the video card for $75 or less.

Just about everything with a 400W or card should less work.

It's the one I got. I love the fanless models because it does not add noise and Fanless do fall on you.

  • Adobe Premiere Elements 10. Does make sense to upgrade my 32 GB memory?

    I have the following Setup (purchased in September 2011).

    • ASUS P8Z68 DELUXE, chipset Z68
    • Intel Core i7 2600 K 3.4 Ghz, 8 MB
    • Kingston
    • M4 128 GB crucial SSD
    • ASUS GeForce Ti DirectCU TOP 1 GB 2xDVI II GTX560
    • WD 2 TB sata 600 (black edition).
    • Windows 7 prof 64 bit.
    • Adobe Premiere Elements 10 + Photoshop Elements 10

    On the 128 GB SSD, I installed Windows 7, office 2010, Adobe software, and the SSD is used to swap/temp-drive for Adobe elements and Windows 7.

    The second WD SATA 600 black 2 TB drive is used for all my equipment photo and video.

    When searching on the internet and on this forum, I understand that until the first elements Adobe 9 unused RAM memory beyond 3 GB because of the 32-bit adobe core of the series of elements.

    Can you and first Elements 10 (or higher) will use memory beyond 3 GB?

    When I install 32 (4 x 8 GB) GB of DRAM memory, the recommended windows pagefile will be around (2 x 32 =) 64 GB. With windows 7 and some software installed there are not a lot of space on the SSD to the first elements temp adobe reader. I probably set the temp on the WD 2 to 600 sata drive because there is more free space left.

    I don't know if it makes sense to upgrade my memory.

    1 does make sense to upgrade my 32 GB memory? And it will probably increase the rendering speed of the first 10 elements (or a version later first)?

    2 it is sensible to upgrade my memory up to 16 GB (4 x 4 GB)?

    3 the 32 GB memory-implementation to date costs about 300 euro/dollar. Is there a better way to improve the rendering speed (I'm not comfortable with overclocking the system)?

    Hope you can help me with this question.

    Thank you!

    You have a lot more power to edit AVCHD and other high-def video.

    You certainly won't hurt anything by adding more RAM - but you won't see better performance with first Elements 10 from 8-16 GB of RAM.

    I'm trying to decided if I should try to add more storage to my lap top existing, or buy a new one with more memory.  I am a Photogaphy and need a lot of storage.  I have a MacBook Pro, in early 2011, just upgraded to 8 GB of Ram so I could upgrade to OSX E Capitan and add new software. I have 500 GB storage now and need a lot more. Would love 2 TB or more.

    What is the maximum I can add to my laptop? And does make sense to do?

    On the largest practical size warehouse readers coming always internally are about 1, 000 GB.

    To go more than you would have to decide if the portability was an important issue, because additional disks should probably be external. The Mac can support dozens of external hard drives. If you do not carry them, 'office' readers are faster and can be found in larger sizes. Their PIN 12-volt Motors require a lot more power that can be provided using Bus power, while they use their own power supplies.

  • I started to have some pop-under ads every time I run Firefox and uninstall instructions don't make sense, how can I stop these?

    In the last two weeks, whenever I run Firefox, a grandeur nature pop-under ad is also launched, regardless of which site I am browsing.

    The original ad was for a survey on You Tube and contains a link to coupondropdown.com, where there is a menu option for uninstalling. The uninstall instructions don't make sense, they do not mention what ad - control ads, and I can't work out what is responsible for the ads of my very basic range of ad - ons.

    The reason why I write, it is that ads increased by annoying but harmless, dangerous. The announcement today was conceived as a pop-up warning text says, ' detection: immediate Action required.» Fatal error in registry... click on 'Repair All' to eliminate all possible threats and clean your PC". I have screenshots of all the foregoing.

    I'm worried that another user, my son or mother, might take this warning seriously and install malware by accident. What can I do to prevent these ads? I expect this type of advertising malware on dubious websites, I get them when I try to access Hotmail, news, etc., so it is not the site that is originally.

    Sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of.

    You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:

    Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one.

  • Re: NB200-134 - touch FN does not work after upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate

    My NB200-134 of FN keys does not work after upgrade from Windows 7 starter to Windows 7 ultimate. I tried to install all the drivers found on the Web from Toshiba website for my lappy but it still does not work.

    Help please

    Hi asalamk,

    The FN keys are controlled by value added and Flash Cards Support utility package. I think you forgot to install these tools

    You should recheck the Toshiba page and download these two tools. Start with the installation of the package of added value, and then restart your laptop. After this utility installation of Support Flash Cards. Reboot once again and all the FN buttons should now work correctly.
