G61 - 320CA: upgrade CPU for laptop PC HP G61 - 320CA

Hello.

I bought this laptop in 2005 (new)

Product name: HP G61 - 320CA (laptop, laptop)

Product number: VM345UA #ABC

Microprocessor: of GHz AMD Athlon II Dual-Core processor for notebook PC M300 2.00

Cache of the microprocessor;         1 MB L2 Cache

Motherboard:, DAOOP8MB6DO REV: D (cannot distinguish if they are zeros or letters after DA and P8MB)

also written near the edge 16 "OP8

After a good cleaning, I realized that I have the opportunity to upgrade the processor. The processor is removable.

The installed processor is an AMD Athlon II

Is there by chance, a way to find an upgrade to this processor that would be compatible with the laptop?

Technical support told me that Intel were not capatible to stick with AMD but it coulndn can't tell me which one I could install.

This laptop is no longer under warranty, but it is in perfect condition. I would like to find a faster processor compatible.

Even if abandoned, I know I can find an upgrade on eBay (as any one of my office PCs.)

Thx a lot

Here is the Manual:

They are practically giving these AMD processors because there is simply no demand away. It might be a fun project and if you have already opened it upwards and I saw how to remove and replace the processor at this price, you might as well. There will be an improvement, but don't expect miracles. Let us know if you need help most.

  • Upgrading CPU for laptop HP Pavilion ze2355ea?

    Hello

    My first post - please be gentle!

    Can someone tell me if it's worth upgrading my CPU to a 1.6 GHz AMD Turion™ 64 processor ML-30, say, a ML-40 2.2 GHz or 2.4 GHz ML-44?

    And if it's worth the upgrade, I would find a significant difference in performance between the ML - 44 (available on ebay for over US$ 120) or the ML-40 (around US $60 or less).  Do I have other options for a CPU upgrade that correspond to a Socket 754?

    Some background info: I have a ze2355ea HP Pavilion 6 years old Notebook, running Windows XP (Service Pack 3), with original material specification following:

    Microprocessor AMD Turion™ 64 processor ML-30

    The microprocessor Cache Memory 1 MB level 2 cache

    Memory 1024 MB DDR 333 MHz (2 x 512 MB)

    Max memory up to 1 GB

    Video Graphics ATI RADEON® XPRESS 200 M IGP graphics card

    128 MB of shared video memory

    Hard drive 60 GB 4200 RPM

    Multimedia player DVD Writer double Format (+/-R +/-RW) with support Double layer

    15.0 "XGA TFT Brightview display

    I am not in a position to buy a new laptop now, but desperately need to improve performance and storage for internet streaming video and RAW photo editing.

    So, I've recently updated the RAM 2 x 1 GB ByteStor, and a 160 GB 5400 RPM Samsung HARD disc.  I've also updated my BIOS and other drivers with the latest versions, I can find.

    The increased capacity of the HARD disk is large and HARD drive access times are significantly improved, but the doubling of RAM from 1 GB to 2 GB did me not increase speed and stability that I expected to when running resource hungry applications in resources, such as RAW photo editors.

    But back to my questions of title.  It's worth the shot of upgrading me the 1.6 GHz AMD Turion™ 64 processor ML-30, for a 2.2 GHz ML-40 or 2.4 GHz ML-44? Can I find a noticeable difference in performance between the ML - 44 (available on ebay for over US$ 120) or the ML-40 (around US $60 or less).  Do I have other options for a CPU upgrade that correspond to a Socket 754?

    I'm perfectly comfortable disassembling and rebuilding my laptop, after already taking part to resolder a doubtful DC power outlet, so falling into a new CPU doesn't discourage me.  I would like to just some assurance that I would spend my money wisely.

    Thank you very much in advance for any advice.

    Hello

    The only faster processors that are compatible with the motherboard of your laptop are the:

    Mobile AMD Turion 64 ML-37 (2.0 GHz)

    Mobile AMD Turion 64 ML - 34 (1.80 GHz)

    Mobile AMD Turion 64 ML - 32 (1.80 GHz)

    The 40 ML and ML-44 are not supported by the BIOS.  It would be a waste of your money to buy.  The Mobile AMD Turion 64 ML-37 (2.0 GHz) is a supported processor. Given that the increase would be + 400 mhz it would be a significant increase in performance.

    Best regards

  • Upgrading CPU for HP Pavilion dv9730nr notebook Entertainment

    I'm looking for the best/most fast Intel processor to upgrade a HP Pavilion dv9730 Entertainment notebook. The motherboard is a Quanta 30CB. Aware of the processor is an Intel Core 2 Duo T5450 1.66 GHz. I am trying to upgrade this laptop for my grandson to play some of the new games of intense action. I looked at different forums, but most of them is at least two years. I also watched the service for laptops manual series dv9700. The top page in their list processor is the Intel Core 2 Duo T7700 2.4 GHz. Since most of these lists are old, I want to know if there are faster processors that are compatible with the laptop and a motherboard safely.

    Only, you are sure to install a processor originally proposed by HP on this range of laptops. As noted above, it is not really a mother Quanta is a motherboard HP, full owner. There is also no way to improve the system without radical changes in case of cooling and engineering tips; the only CPU cooler is the original factory unit unless you do another and even in this case, the tight fit limits what you can really do. The fsb and the power must remain the same, as well.

  • Question about upgrading CPU for Satellite A30 104?

    Hello

    My Satellite A30 104 recently came at the end of its warranty and had to open the heatsink for cleaning, and seeing that the CPU was available, I wonder if there should be (likely) to upgrade.

    The processor is a Celeron 2.6 GHz (Northwood). I'm no more grunt, I would prefer a more low-power chip, while the cache L2 much bigger of a Pentium 4 is also desirable. I would be very grateful if someone could give advice if upgrades are likely available, and if so the chips would be appropriate? If I can give any more useful technical information, please ask.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Usually it s not advisable to upgrade the CPU on laptops, because no one can tell if the laptop runs correctly and stable after the upgrade.
    The heat and the temperature inside the laptop could be a serious problem.

    In any case, I think that the laptop supports an Intel 852GME chipset.
    http://www.Intel.com/products/chipsets/852GME/index.htm

    The Intel 852GME chipset is optimized for the Mobile Intel Pentium 4 processor, has a main bus at 533 MHz and up to 2 GB memory DDR 266/333/200 at high speed.

    But I'm not sure about m making it s 479 or 478

    Is it possible to upgrade my processor from a 1.44 to what higher?

    No, there is no way because:

    -It s too expensive
    -It s complicated Exchange when you´re no technician for laptop
    -you won´t win any show (especially when the performance vs price comparison)

    Instead update your RAM and your HARD drive since that these components are comp. evolutionary and better will give you better performance.

  • HP Pavilion dv6-1225ei: upgrading Ram for laptop

    I'm trying to exceed 10 32-bit windows. I want to upgrade to 8gig of ram. I know that I need 64-bit for this. I saw on the Intel site, I have a 64-bit processor, but it is a little old now. So I would like to know if it would be able to run 10 64-bit Windows until I have spend money on 2 x 4gig ram modules as they are very expensive here in South Africa.

    I'll have to go back on a bit of what I said. The license key that appears on the certificate of Microsoft works on a 64-bit version of the Windows operating system that is already installed. This means that you can install Windows 7 (64-bit) and then upgrade to Windows 10 (64-bit)

    For a direct upgrade, you need to purchase a license key 10 64-bit Windows.

    The installed CPU supports 64-bit Windows versions. So yes, your laptop can handle it.

  • Upgrading CPU for Satellite L500-128

    I have a 4-5 year old Toshiba L500-128 and I would like to upgrade the processor. ATM I have a Core 2 Duo T6500. I know that I can put a T9500 inside, but if possible I would ask a better. So I have a few questions:

    (1) can I put a CPU with front side bus 1066 MHZ speed and it'll work? T6500 has 800 FSB.
    (2) can I put a CPU with 44 or 45W TDP? T6500 has 35W.
    (3) if the answer is Yes to the two questions above, I put a CPU with 1066 FSB and 45W?

    Is possible, I would put something like T9900 or even a Quad Core.

    Thanks in advance :)

    > 1) that I can put a CPU with front side bus 1066 MHZ speed and it'll work? T6500 has 800 FSB.

    In my opinion, you should check the compatibility of the chipset and CPU support.
    As far as I know the motherboard the computer s portable supports the Chipset Mobile Intel GM45 Express

    On the Intel Ark page, I could find the Intel Mobile GM45 chipset specifications and compatible products:
    http://Ark.Intel.com/products/35134/Intel-82GM45-graphics-and-memory-controller-hub

    However, the fact is that new CPU must be supported by the chipset and BIOS.
    If one of the parties (chipset or BIOS) is not compatible with the new processor, the laptop does not start at the top.

    In addition, you should also know that the manufacturers of portable don t support upgrading processors.
    Does that mean exactly?

    This means that even if the chipset would support the new processor, BIOS could be the troublemaker and couldn't stand the improved CPU. From my experience, there is no information on BIOS support. Therefore, the CPU upgrade is always a risky procedure. Maybe it will work, maybe not

  • Where can I find what should be my temperatures of the CPU for laptop HP Pavilion DV7-6195us?

    I download a software to view the inside temperatures and even if they have little symbols (green check, red/yellow flame, etc.) by every internal part (e.g. CPU0) I want to know what HP internal temperature range is recommended.  Thank you.

    What CPU is installed in your laptop?

    It isn't really a question of what HP is recommended. Your concern should be what the CPU manufacturer lists as Tjunction for the CPU.

    If your laptop is the Intel Core i7-2630QM installed then lists Intel 100 c as TJunction. I found the technique for your laptop here. You should be concerned if you see time > 85 degrees Celsius. Here is a link to Intel for your processor plug.

  • Upgrading CPU for IdeaPad N585?

    Hey everybody! First time poster here.

    So I recently bought a N585 and updated RAM 8 GB, hoping to get a performance gain, given the slow super 64-bit AMD E1, but it is still a serious lack in power and crashes a lot. I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction for a processor more powerful that is compatible with my laptop, preferably without having to reinstall Windows.

    Also, is there a manual to repair/maintenance everywhere out there for this model?

    Thanks for your help!

    By the book, I must tell you that it won't work.

    So, you can try to install at your own risk. It may work correctly, or it may not work at all.

    It all depends on if the BIOS has the microcode for the i3-2310 and other firmware supported processor.
