I have a hp pavilion dv6-1204au laptop. I was wondering if I can improve my processor?

my laptop specs are as...

model #: dv6-1204au

p/n: VH915PA #AJC

If I can improve my processor, what are the options? Help, please!

Hello

1. first of all, you should use 35W processor otherwise, this is going to work, not because of heating but to provide other components, including the power. Depending on the applications, upgrading CPU not see no improvement because the neck of the bottle may reside on other components such as the FSB, RAM and HARD drive. Normally, we use the term related to UC or i/o, destined for these applications related to the CPU (a) If, will certainly help the CPU upgrade, but (b) if I/O bound applications, upgrading CPU is a waste.

2 normally the upgrade of RAM will be a big jump in the peformance but once again something has a limit, to the point of the machine does not support AND applications, including the operating system (OS) cannot address all the RAM (such as the 32-bit OS can not address more than 4 GB of RAM in theory). The next "big" thing is upgrading the HARD drive using more than rpm or SSD. But again, I always say to people: you want a car with seats in leather, GPS,... or pay money for 2 seconds faster when starting?

Sorry, I can talk all day about the benefits and disadvantages of the machine upgrade and it's normally price/performance, the real dollars in the end, need for the user to sit and think: it is better to the dollars we spent.

Kind regards.

    When you install CC on your computer and the LR5, it will import your catalog. This topic is for you what items choose you to synchronize, but you should not expect that your entire collection be available for reasons of simple capacity. the usual workflow simply is the reverse - review and tweak a few photos on the set in LR, then download mobile and synchronize them for the final treatment on the desktop.

    You can either clone (using the Samsung migration tool or tools 3rd part), factory reset (with the support of HP recovery) or pure install (if you have the disc to install Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit, and you can clearly and legibly read all 25 characters of the activation key of the product to the rear of your laptop).

  • Hard drive test failed on HP Pavilion dv6-1100eo laptop computer

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6-1100eo Entertainment Notebook PC (P/N: NR597EA) with Vista 32 bit.  Unfortunately no guarantees left in, and in general I was very satisfied with this laptop.

    But suddenly Wondows would not start up - and it has yet to start Recovery hard disk partition. As I didn't know if this start was on hard drive or not - I ordered the DVD of recovery system for this version of Scandinavian language.

    These discs didn't work - so I thought that I probably did not my homework before ordering these disks.

    So I ran Diagnostics System (even if I have an older version of BIOS F.03).  On the diagnostics - test hard drive fast and complete failed during the first 1% analysis.

    Is there something that can be done - or is the only option new hard drive? In the case - the what hard drive is recommended is too cheap - because I don't want to invest too much in a book soon 3 year.

    Recently I have bougth an external hard drive (1 TB) based on the USB connection. That allows bypassing the HD internal. In this way I would increase HD capacity and not invest more in this notebook - since I already have the recovery DVDs

    It's probably a matter of time before I go buy a new HP laptop - that is why I don't want any long standing patch this problem.

    Hello

    Sorry to say, but you won't be able to install or boot from external HARD disk Vista, so if you need to get the workbook, you will have to replace the internal drive.

    The player at the link below is an example of one that would be perfect for your laptop.

    Hard drive 500 GB

    The procedure to replace the hard drive begins on Page 57 of your maintenance & Service Guide.

    Once this is done, simply use your recovery DVD to reinstall the operating system on the new drive.

  • Ports USB 3.0 on HP Pavilion dv6-6015tx laptop computer

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6-6015tx-Notebook that I've upgraded to Windows 8.1 (transcript).
    Now my problem is that when I connect my USB 3.0 drive to my laptop the transfer speed is not more than 40-45 Mbps. So, help me and tell me which two ports are USB 3.0 ports in my laptop (that I'm not sure about that).
    Earlier, I used to get the speed of transfer of 90-95 Mbits / s, but after a few deiver updates and do not know what it has reduced.

    The usb 3.0 ports will be a symbol of the SS (superspeed) marked next to the USB symbol.  You need to install the usb 3.0 for Windows 8.0 driver (if available) for the performance of usb 3.0. I'll check to see if it is and provide a link.

    There is no driver for windows 8 usb 3.0 available for download. You may need to install Island version Windows 7 in compatibility mode. It may also be available via Windows update.

    Hello

    Yes, this notebook is compatible with the backlit keyboards. This is the manual of your laptop:

    See the computer section of major components for the right part number and run the part number on ebay. You can also search on ebay for "dv6 backlit keyboard. Backlit keyboards there only for two sets or more.

  • I have a hp pavilion dv6 with factory warranty. It covers replacement of the battery and the keyboard?

    Hello

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6, who currently holds the factory warranty. I was wondering if she covered with a replacement keyboard, because some of the keys that I use rarely become loose, as the right alt key. I was also wondering if she covered with a battery replacement, because it is the life is much shorter than he was when this laptop was new.

    Oh, and if it does not cover the replacements for the two parties, how could I do to obtain replacements?

    Thank you

    Michael

    OK, you're in good shape, for the battery, so that we will send it to you free of charge if under warranty - ask that if they send the keyboard as well, some models are replaceable by the end-user.

Thanks Martin

    A single user license for activating facilities on both machines. A license of elements allows for each platform in many cases (recently not the case from what I've seen).  If you have the disc, see if it contains the Mac installation files... If not then you should be able to install them via download as well.  I can't answer with any certainty to the last question because it depends on the previous question.  Personally, I wouldn't let an inexpensive piece of software not dictate a decision to purchase expensive equipment.
