You already have the best processor that can fit on your motherboard which is an AMD version. Theoretically, you can go with a card mother Intel and processor, but that would cost a lot of money (more than a new laptop) and give only slightly better graphics. not yet for the games. To be explicit, the graphics 'card' are not a card, but a single chip directly soldered on the motherboard and cannot be removed, replaced, improved or anything of the sort.

The slightly good news is that you can install up to 8 GB of memory... is the DDR3-1333 SO-DIMM. That will boost the overall performance, but still not make a game by a long shot machine.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A500, and I think to upgrade my processor CPU and RAM. If I open it invalidate or do I need a Toshiba authority to open it? Removes the card RAM will void the warranty?

    All I need to know is that can I put RAM and CPU processor without voiding the warranty

    Hey,.

    If you upgrade the CPU, you will cancel the warranty because this upgrade is not supported from Toshiba.
    In addition, I put t understand why you buy a laptop, and then you think of some hardware upgrades. In your case, I'd rather bought a laptop with faster processor and more RAM.

  • P7 - 1010t cto Pavilion: upgrade of processor and RAM memory

    I wonder if the upgrade to a faster processor and the RAM imcreassed will provide significant performance and practice

    Yes, but you must consider a few things first.

    RAM, if you currently have one slot of occupied RAM then add more RAM to fill all the slots does two things for you, it increase the bandwidth to access RAM and what is obvious, give you more memeory for your applications and reduce disk swapping.  Increase the bandwidth for RAM access ceratinly will provide a performance gain just by itself.

    Upgrade the processor is debatable and depends largely on what you use your PC for.  If you simply run email and web browsing then probably an upgrade is useless, but if you run several CPU intensive tasks then a processor upgrade help. Processor intel celeron and pentium are core, i3 range are dual core and the i5 and i7 are four hearts.  Simply the best kernels if you run intensive taks and i5 and i7 processors support the turbo boost, which means carrots redundant can kick in to increase the speed of these processors according to demand.  Hyper-threading (with several processes running in parallel) is also supported by the i7 (maybe some processors i5 as well).

  • The upgrade of processor and the graph of Compaq Presario cq42-203au

    Hi guys,.

    I have a Compaq Presario CQ42-203AU with AMD processor and graphics. And what I want to ask is, can I upgrade the processor and graphics of my laptop? If it is possible, what is the maximum and graphic compatible processor for my laptop? I thank very you much for your help in advance.

    Hello Netbuckler,

    I understand that you are interested in upgrading the processor and graphics card on your laptop, is that correct? I will try and provide you with information that needed to get there.

    The processor can be improved in this particular notebook. If you go to page 91 in the maintenance manual , it will give you a list of processors and it will show you the steps to do it yourself. I don't know what your current status of security with this laptop, but if you are still covered the upgrade of the processor warranty this I just want you to be aware.

    Now and then when you're dealing with the graphics card it is soldered to the motherboard if you will not be able to update. If you really want to improve the graphics, as you go through the motherboard. There is a list of those on page 81 in the owner's manual as well.

  • Updated the motherboard, processor and RAM and upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, after upgrade the external hard drive encrypted with bitlocker will not enter the password.

    Original title: bitllocker Windows 7 issue

    Hello

    I recently updated my motherboard, processor and RAM, but I kept my original 500 GB hard drive, and equipped with a hard drive 2 TB extra, after the upgrade, I downloaded windows 7 ultimate 64-bit. After the upgrade I plugged my external hard drive (which has all my stuff important on it, that is to say the photo, video etc.) to realize that I had he encrypted with bitlocker on my old sysem. It allows Me to enter my password, it looks for a USB flash drive key, I did not. My question is:

    Can I replace my old system with the old motherboard, hard drive and the original RAM to remove the external hard drive for bitlocker?

    I still have the file windows.old on my hard drive, I have to restore it and remove the most recent version of windows 7 off the drive. I do this before I rebuild my old PC? I'm stuck here and would not lose all my photos (the wife would kill me!) I would appreciate your help.

    Hello

    Reassembly of the old computer won't help. You will always need the key to open the Bitlocker.

  • I have a retail version of Windows 7 (home premium). I buy a new motherboard, processor and RAM. Will be my install of Windows 7 function properly?

    As mentioned, I have a full commercial copy of Windows 7 Home Premium and I'm on the point to replace my motherboard, processor and RAM.  Windows 7 will work properly?  If this is not the case, what should I do to make this happen?  Thank you!

    Hello

    With a license for the retail of Windows 7, you can change any material you want.

    You will probably have to reinstall windows 7 as the 'old' motherboard drivers will be always installed on this drive hard (if you use the same drive where Windows 7 is already installed), so that he will probably not start correctly.

    You can even move a license to retail to another computer if that never fails

    The rule is: a license for a single installation.

    Here's how to do a clean install of Windows 7.

    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/1649-clean-install-Windows-7-a.html

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    And change a large part of the material probably will ask you to activate again.

    "How to activate Windows 7 by phone '

    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/18715-activate-Windows-7-phone.html

    9. If the automated Service is unsuccessful

    (A) if the automatic activation service informs you that she has failed and cannot help with activation, then STAY ON THE LINE and your call will be transferred to an operator of activation which will help you to activate your copy of Windows 7. If you get suspended under all pending, then phone back, but this time DO NOT respond when the ansafone asks what service you need (twice). This puts in the queue to speak to an engine and does not appear to expire so fast. The operator will give you a confirmation ID number if they accept that your copy of Windows 7 is legitimate.
    NOTE: The operator just explain your situation and what you did to require activation. (EX: hardware upgrade, installed Windows 7 on a new computer after uninstalling it from the old one, etc...)
