Improve my processor.

Lately, my laptop is running very slowly. I do a lot of digital pictures on it and the speed of that my computer runs on is to do that is very difficult. I don't know much about the upgrade of equipment, but I am considering installing a new processor. This would improve the speed of my laptop?

My laptop:

-HP Pavilion dv6

-64-bit

-Windows 7

-6.00 GB RAM

-Current processor: AMD A8 - 3520 M APU with Radeon (TM) HD Graphics 1.60 GHz

I found this document that lists the different processors that I could use and how to install them. However, I don't know which one would be best for what I need.

I would really appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction or tell me anything else I could use to improve my speed. If you need me for more information on my laptop from the list, let me know!

Thank you!

The link in your post does not work, but I guess that's the service manual. The key to your question, is that the computer has been slow "recent." For me, it means there is some software issue maybe same malware causing the slowdown. The processor you have is very capable; It is in the high average of laptop processors and is not the problem. Even 6 gigabytes of RAM is not the matter that you could easily and cheaply benefits by installing a second 4 GB module instead of ther current 2 module in concert to make the laptop have 8 GB, I think it's sweet spot today in terms of costs and benefits and he would have the advantage of allowing the memory to run in mode dual channel which is maybe 8 to 10% faster. An upgrade of the cell processor is a major surgery and not to get in a first draft of computer technician. If you need to buy a high end processor and it will be very expensive to pay for the work. I suggest trying the upgrade memory first. I don't have the exact model to tell you exactly what memory you need. Second, the real bottleneck in the laptops of today's hard drives. Generally, they are models of slow 5400 RPM. You can speed up the laptop a lot for a lot cheaper than a processor upgrade by installing a faster hard drive a hybrid or a solid state drive. Post back if this is interesting and we're still working on some free software cleaning techniques that could make all this moot.

  • 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.

  • Help to improve the Image Processor Pro Script to save transparency in TIF

    Hello world

    This is my first post in this community.

    We have a droplet which reduces the resolution of tif images at 72 dpi and save the image tif with transparency. It works very well, but it took a long time for the whole process of many picture in different folders. This is the reason why we have sought another script that can preserve the folder structure and define the resolution of each image at 72 dpi tif.

    We found Image Processor Pro, which does exactly what we needed. The script works perfectly in CS5 and CS5.5 save the tif with transparency. The tif images could be used in InDesign with transparency.

    BUT Image Processor Pro script works not so perfectly in CS6 as it seems that this option to save a tif with transparency does not exist or does not work in the script. The result is that those converted tif images are without transparency in InDesign. It is a huge problem for us.

    This is the point where I need your help. Neither I have experience yet with jsx-files or the right syntax of it.

    Is it possible for someone of you to implement / improve Image Processor Pro so it will save tif with transparency?

    We used the last German Image Processor Pro Version: 2.3.1 (link: http://www.russellbrown.com/scripts.html)

    (The German version contains only German on the texts of the screen!)

    I am very grateful for any help you can give.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    The only reason why I can invision would happen, is that they change the default behavior on what to do when the transparency option is not specified.

    The simplest solution, if you always want to have transparency with tif files is:

    Find this piece of code or towards line 3811:

         case "tif": {
            var value = (isWindows() ? ByteOrder.IBM : ByteOrder.MACOS);
            var str = fsOpts.tiffByteOrder.toString();
    

    Change to look like this:

         case "tif": {        saveOpts.transparency = true;        var value = (isWindows() ? ByteOrder.IBM : ByteOrder.MACOS);        var str = fsOpts.tiffByteOrder.toString();
    

    It will not work properly if there is transparency.

    BTW, where did you get a German version of this? I've written PPI but never germanisés he...

    If I switch to 2 GB of ram any advantagr in speed?

    Hello

    Ivan is reason. Forget the CPU upgrade and put the maximum RAM (2 GB) and your device will work much better and faster. Compatible modules are:
    PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 1 M 51)
    1024MO PC2700 (PA3313U-1M1G)

    Upgrading RAM is very simple and you can do it alone. The cache is placed in the lower corner.

  • Upgrade processor Equium M50-164

    do we know if it would be possible to improve a processor M50-164 to a roughly 2 Ghz Dual core prosessor and which cases the cost please?

    Hello

    As in the previous posting already suggested the dual core 2 processors are designed with different socket.
    It will not be possible to upgrade a M50 with this CPU.

    I studied a bit and it seems that
    -Intel Pentium-M Dothan 1.6 GHz, 1.73 GHz, 1.86 GHz, 2.0 GHz, 2.13 GHz
    and
    -Intel Celeron-M Dothan 1.3 GHz, 1.4 GHz and 1.5 GHz
    are supported and could be compatible with the motherboard.

    But you should know that Toshiba doesn't support these upgrades, and if you modernize the CPU, so you can do it at your own risk!
    It is possible that the laptop will not run stable.
    In addition the overheating problem can occur because the faster CPU produce more heat.

  • Satellite L300-129 - upgrade CPU (NOT to improve game performance)

    I'm running a Toshiba L300-129 and I want to know if I can improve my processor.

    If so, what upgrade options I have? I use my laptop for games, rather, I need extra CPU for music, produce software that I use. (Cubase5) The upgrade of the processor will be a significant performance increase for my software?

    The software works very well, but I am limited in the amount of plug-INNS (VST)
    I can use before the program crashes due to the processing overhead (ASIO).

    Would appreciate help.

    > I want to know if I can improve my processor.
    Well, CPU can be removed from the motherboard and can be replaced but it s not official supported. This means that no one can guarantee that this notebook would be stable after an upgrade.

    > Processor upgrade will be a significant performance increase for my software?
    No, certainly not. Of course a stronger CPU would give more power, but you won't see a performance gain. In addition, please note that the stronger CPU produce more heat dissipation which leads to the highest temperature and this may affect the functionality of the laptop.

    In General, the new processor must be compatible with the chipset of the motherboard.
    So, if you really want to upgrade the processor (I don t recommend) then you have to check what chipset your laptop support and check the support for other processors.

  • The tiny processor upgrade M93p

    I am considering, for the most part just for fun, upgrading the processor in my tiny M93p Office. According to CPU World, the socket type is a decision 1150 / LGA1150 socket / Socket H3. My M93p currently has a processor Intel Core i5 - 4570T (http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Core_i5/Intel-Core%20i5-4570T.html), 2.9 GHz dual-core. I would like to put a processor quad-core in it, but I am concerned about the risk of increased energy and heat load.

    I'm looking for the following options to upgrade:

    i5 - 4690K (http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Core_i5/Intel-Core%20i5-4690K.html)

    i5 - 4570S (http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Core_i5/Intel-Core%20i5-4570S.html)

    I7 - 4785T (http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Core_i7/Intel-Core%20i7-4785T.html)

    I7 - 4790K (http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Core_i7/Intel-Core%20i7-4790K.html)

    As I said, my major concern is heat load and increased energy consumption. The power of my current processor thermal design (TDP) is 35 watts. The TDP of the CPUs I'm looking at upgrading range from 35 watts (i7 - 4785 lower motor T, not my first choice) to 88 watts. If I go with a TDP of 65 watts or 88 watts, my heat sink will be able to handle the heat load? And the food will be able to handle the additional energy consumption. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

    It must be one of the processors is can be ordered with, else the BIOS doesn't recognize and are unable to post (start). Search above for others who have improved their processor.

  • HP Pavilion dv6t-6100 CTO Quad: processor upgrade

    Hello fellow admins classmates
    can I ask if I can improve my processor Intel Core i7-2630QM 2.00 GHz at 2.30 GHz Intel Core i7-2820QM?

    any help and suggestions will be appreciated

    Check Page 2 here:

    Manual

    Yes, the 2820QM is the top of the page compatible processor. For an increase in clock speed of 15%, I'm not sure that the upgrade will do a lot for you, but if you feel able to do so, the upgrade will work.

    This processor is quite expensive:

    It is posseble to upgrade.

    Mario

    Only if you replace the motherboard together. On this model, the processors are welded on. See pages 17 and 18 of this manual:

    The upper part of the motherboard the A8 line would cost more that you probably paid for the computer.

    Processor
    I need to improve my processor 1.90 GHz to 4 GHz (at least 2.66 GHz). Then please add a link/s to this processor/s that I can use to upgrade my laptop to 2.66 GHz at least, or reach 4 Ghz.

    Video card
    I also need to improve my video card from the AMD Radeon HD 7640 G to a DirectX 11 with 2 GB of video ram (at least 1 GB of video ram). Please add link/s on what card video/s who reach the requirements I need.

    Thank you

    Here's the problem with that:

    AMD A6 - 4400M, Max 3,2 GHz / 2.7 - GHz Base, 1 MB of L2 cache, Dual-Core,.
    Graphic 35W: 7520G HD

    AMD - A8 4500 M, Max 2.8 GHz/1, 9-basis of GHz, 4 MB L2 cache, quadcore,.

    Above are your graphics options for laptop. If yours is 1.9 ghz it cannot the A8, which is the best CPU and GPU option available. The video is part of the processor. There is just no way for you to improve the graphics capabilities of this laptop. It may seem like the A-6 is better because it works to 2.7 ghz, but there only 2 hearts: you have 4. And the 7520 graphics are lower than what you have. That's what you try to do? There is not too many computers that reach 4 ghz, not to mention a laptop.
