G71 340us: processor upgrades

Hello

I am interested to beef up my g71 340 U.S. laptop.  I read on the forums for optimized RAM, go with two 4 GB sticks.  Are there upgrades to the processor?  I have the Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 Processor. Socket type; PGA478.

I like this laptop handy.  I don't do any game on it.  I just wanted a little better performance when running multiple services.  Already added an SSD.

Thank you for your time and help,

Here is the Manual:

The top of the processor page listed is Core 2 Duo P8700.

The processor itself is very cheap:

If you can do the work yourself: why not? It would be a significant improvement. If you need to pay a technician to do it, I would say don't not to invest that much.

  • HP G71-340US how upgrade RAM?

    I have a HP G71-340US running every day more slow. It has 4 GB of RAM. How can I put him? The specifications of the product reveal 8MB while the maintenance and service guide display a maximum of 4 MB. Which is correct?

    Yes, you can upgrade to 8 GB, but you must install 64 bit OS to get the full support of 8 GB, 32 bit OS only supports 4 GB... maybe you repair said that...

  • G71 340US hard drive replacement/upgrade questions

    I have a hard drive that is dying a slow death.  Only, I ordered a new hard drive for this laptop update a few minutes previously, literally and noticed a difference on the product page of the etailer between the title of the HDD that I ordered and the specifications for it.  The title indicated that the replacement of the hard drive is a SATA 3.0, but the specs seem to indicate that the hard drive is a SATA 6.0.  After doing my research, I know that the G71 340US laptop comes with a SATA 3.0, so I know not, at the very least, it supports SATA 3.0.

    So here are my questions: the G71 340US laptop does support SATA 6.0?  If it isn't, the drivef that I just bought will be retro-compatible with this laptop?

    There is no such a thing, to date anyway, which is called SATA6.

    I guess you mean SATA600 instead.

    SATA600 is the same specification as SATA3. A hard drive of SATA600 is interchangeable with a disc spec SATA3.

  • G71 340US notebook: G71 340US notebook and migration of Windows 10. Have someone succeeded? Can I try or better not...

    I was checking if my G71 340US notebook is OK to upgrade to windows 7 which I understand will be completed July 26, 2016. I read the web HP requirements, but they do not make sense to me as I am not an expert. I understand that HP does not guarantee the purchased booklets before 2013 will work and I bought mine in Nov 2009. My PRODUCT NUMBER IS: VM114UA #ABA and the name of the product is HPG71 notebook PC windows 7 (64-bit). I saw other people in this forum face with his apparently solved problems by only the individual who posted the message, other internet connection problems and systems fail. Can someone please tell me if I'm okay or is it preferable not to attempt migration. Thank you

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the problem you face is that Microsoft provides only pilots with the most basic features and what you really need for these features is the specialized drivers written for the specific in your HP PC hardware - and unfortunately, there is no driver HP Win10 for your PC. HP only guarantees the compatibility of Win10 for machines manufactured after August 2013. HP is not no matter what timetable indicating when, or IF, they will produce drivers for older machines.

    This means that your PC is probably NEVER going to be fully functional under Win10 because the pilots is needs for all features simply do not exist!

    Personally, I recommend this doing the upgrade, especially since I did this on a laptop HP DV6 under Win7 and trashed the laptop upgrade bad, I had to restore it if you work with HP recovery media.

    Good luck

  • G71-340US notebook: no sound after 10 Windows free update of WIN7 on a G71-340US laptop with CODEC IDT.

    After the free upgrade to WIN7 for WIN10 my laptop has no noise (with internal or external speakers). I tried to uninstall driver IDT and allowing windows 10 to reinstall the driver through scanning for changes of HW - still no sound. I would appreciate any guidance or fixes to this problem. Thank you.

    I'm happy to announce that I now have sound on my laptop G71-340US. After that more detailed error troubleshooting I found that there is an application called IDT Audio PC (aka IDT HD Sound) installed on my laptop by HP (OEM), I think. While I don't know exactly what function of this application is, it seems, it is related to activation of the feature of IDT HD Codec drivers. Somehow, I decided to look in Task Manager - startup and I saw this listed IDT Audio PC. I clicked on disable and then a minute later clicked on activate. After I did that, as simple as it seems, I have now heard both internal and external speakers. This is the first time I heard all the sounds since the upgrade to WIN10. I checked several times by re-booting my laptop and every time I now have sound. I will continue to test it through the week and see if it continues to be OK. In the meantime, I thought I'd share this potential fix (or solution) with all stakeholders. Perhaps others will find this useful and give me your comments. Fingers crossed!

    PS. BTW, if anyone out there knows what PC IDT sound is by all means share your knowledge. I'm curious why this app appears more often in the forum messages and how it can relate to the WIN10 upgrade. Sorry, but I do not remember what prompted me to look at the task - starting but Manager I'm glad I did. It's great to hear again!

  • HP G71-340US recovery of the system using a new smaller hard drive (SSD)

    I replaced the hard drive on an HP G71-340US notebook with a Solid State Drive (240 GB).  The original drive (who did not) was a 320 GB drive.

    I tried to perform the Reovery of system using the recovery disks that I created when I bought the laptop.  However, the only option enabled when you are trying to restore is 'Factory Reset'.  When I choose this option, the recovery process may not continue his run as "... the hard drive of this computer is smaller than the original shipped hard disk.

    Is there a way I can go beyond that?  Any suggestions/help would be most appreciated!

    Thank you!

    HP System normal recoveries do not usually work on smaller hard disks. You may need to use a spinner legacy 320 GB hard drive and more capacity to perform the Factory image restore and then make a migration of data to the SSD. It is unfortunate that you chose to change for one SSD after the original spinner hard drive has failed.

    With SSDS, in particular the best method is to use a upgrade kit or data migration kit.

    A data migration kit consists of software cloning and a usb to SATA cable. The USB to SATA cable connect the SSD to the usb port of the laptop for the cloning process that is part of the migration of the data.

    The software provided by manufacturers such as Samsung and Corsair SSD are usually able to transfer all of the operating system and on a smaller hard disk partitions.

  • G71-340US notebook - a disc will modernize a SATA 3 GB/s 7200 RPM drive work?

    The 320 GB drive that came with my laptop G71-340US is short of space, and I want to spend at least a 500 GB drive.  An upgrade to a SATA 3 GB/s 7200 RPM drive work? My thoughts are that if I upgrade the disk I might as well get a faster at this point drive if the G71-340US laptop will support it.

    Thanks much for any help!

    Hello

    On some models, there are problems with 500 GB HARD drive. It is safer to stay with 320 GB drive HARD and just get the external HARD drive. If you have a chance, so it is interesting to test this great HARD drive. You can only check it is detected by the Bios or not.

    If you are in the United States, then from there what I remember that Newegg offer return policy for what does not work for you.

    You have 30 days for this step. Please check this information on your own because I'm not sure of him.

    7200 RPM HARD drive runs faster and you will feel this change for you.

    If you want to change the HARD drive for the biggest or fastest then you should use clonning like EASEUS Todo - Backupsoftware.

    It will copy everything from old HDD again and allow you to use your system without having to reinstall.

    See this tutorial. You will find information how to use this software.

    You will need 2.5 "SATA external enclosure. Get in this new HARD drive and connect it to your laptop via USB.

    What would be the best processor upgrade for my

    Compaq Presario SR5412NL desktop PC

    It's running windows vista 32 bit, I'll upgrade my memory to 4 GB.

    I use the most for Photoshop/Illustrator pc it seems to slow my pc down when I use these programs simultaneous.

    And would it be another option to run these programs from an ssd instead of the HD that make a difference?

    You are the very welcome, Suzan.

    I would say that the safe bet for the best processor the E7400.

    Your PC was introduced in March 2008.

    I fear the E7500 and E7600 that came out in 2009, will not be managed because I can't update the BIOS of your PC that adds support for the latest processors.
