I need to upgrade my laptop G56

I need help with this cpu and ram would be the best to upgrade my laptop.

Now we are getting somewhere!  Here are your specs:

http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02530928

You have 3 GB of RAM and a Celeron 900 CPU. It isn't surprising that you want to upgrade. Here are the processors, you can use:

Intel Mobile Celeron 925 processor (2.3 GHz, 1 MB cache L3, 800 MHz) 636636-001
Intel Celeron 900 processor (2.2 GHz) 534419-001
Processor Intel Pentium T4500 (2.3 GHz) 591880-001
Processor Intel Celeron T3500 (2.1 GHz) 625830-001

While all these are 64-bit processors (allow 4 GB of RAM and more if you have 64-bit Windows), Celeron 900 is a single core and is not very capable. The T4500 is your best bet, and it is at least a dual core, but there isn't any great processor either.

Your laptop was made to be done cheap and has a motherboard with the GL40 chipset, and will only work the lower end of the processors, not a Core 2 Duo. Memory max is in fact 8 GB, but it uses the DDR2-800 SO-DIMM and 8 gigabytes of which will cost nearly the value for a new laptop low-end. It is very rare and expensive. Go to simple modules to 4 GB for $110-120 and you would have 2. Even a single module 2 gig you need to go up to 4 gigs, would cost you $45 or more.

You have Intel 4500 video which is about as lame as it gets, and there is no way to level it. Sorry, but you will simply never to make this notebook a gamer.

  • Satellite A100-596 - I need to upgrade memory

    Hello

    Just got a laptop A100-596 & guard lock up on me. I think I need to upgrade the memory because it has only 512 MB.

    Question is what should I? I know that RAM DDR2 (533 MHz) but what voltage. The news of the Toshiba site do not help much, & scan critical system does not list the laptop model.

    See you soon,.

    rocksasga

    The tension is not very important.
    You can use DDR2 533 MHz (PC2-4200) 200 - PIN SODIMM modules

    http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=28732&ft=m&St=3

    The laptop supports FSB 533 Mhz and so there is no sense to upgrade the memory with a 667 Mhz modules.

    So take the PC2 - 4200 SODIMM 200-PIN and you're on the side course ;)

    need to upgrade from vista to win 7 or 8, so I can eventually get windows 10 - do I have to buy 7 or 8?

    Hello

    Depends on hardware configuration required on later operating systems, and also find out if the manufacturer of the laptop computer is supported and provides drivers for operating systems later as to whether it is possible or feasible to upgrade or not.

    There is no free upgrade Vista to 7, 8.1, or 10.

    And the free update for 7/8.1 10 is over.

    Follow these steps before you buy Windows 7.

    Microsoft sells more than 7; Try Amazon.com.

    Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

    If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.
