Looking to upgrade my laptop HP G62

As the title says, I'm looking to upgrade my laptop for games. And it looks like I'm going to need a new video card and CPU.

I visited Can You Run It? (http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/) and suggested at least for the: processor Intel Core 2 Duo 1.8 GHz / AMD Athlon 64 X 2 4400 + 2.3 GHz.

And at least for the video card: 256 MB / Shader 3.0, NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT or ATI Radeon HD 3000 +.

He said that my laptop model is HP G62 + -250 (hopefully this means something to someone...  :-/)

Edit: Its a Windows 7 Home Prem OA.

I wonder what is the highest, I go for a CPU and video card, but try to keep my wallet happy?

Help a girl out?

This project any attempt is DOA. There is no possible upgrade for the video card. It's a chip that is soldered to the motherboard.

For a game that need a GeForce 8800 you will search long and hard and spend a lot of money on a laptop computer that he would go. You can upgrade the processor, but it is expensive and difficult and won't improve game by a significant amount. My best advice is to build a desktop computer that meets the specifications for the game.

    Hello

    Your laptop's card with Intel Dual core with UMA graphics card and the USB 3.0 version.

    The high processor upgrade possible, without changing the Board of Directors is 2640M i7 dual core (HP 666173-001 part number). Not much of a performance gain.

    If you want to upgrade to QuadCore i7 (i7 quad core 2860QM), you have to replace the Board of Directors. It'll be better buying a new laptop with the better than going to this costly upgrade card.

    • Make sure it's the disk activity (look at the hard drive LED light to confirm. If there is, keep waiting. If the Setup program goes beyond 2-3 hours, try the following steps.
    • Turn off the computer. Unplug the unit, then wait 20 minutes to 1 hour.
    • If you use a laptop, remove the battery if the option is available.
    • Disconnect from the Internet (unplug Ethernet and disable Wi - Fi).
    • Plug it in again, make sure that it is disconnected from the Internet, and then start the computer.
    • See if it completes the installation program.

  • Looking to upgrade HDD HP DV2419US?

    I have the HP DV2419US laptop and I am looking to upgrade my hard drive to a larger.  I contacted HP support, but they couldn't really give me a useful answer.  Can someone let me know what is the maximum size of hard drive will have my laptop?  I know there are SATA and 5 400 rpm.  Currently, my laptop has 160 GB.  Thank you in advance.

    In my view, would be a 320 GB size max safer. A 500 GB should work, but we've seen a few problems reported here on the forums with those.

  • I am owner of Dreamweaver 8 comes with Macromedia Studio 8. I'm getting worried about the age of the machine which is on. Is there a way to upgrade a laptop Windows 7 which does not involve a monthly rent and allows to work on my website source

    I am owner of Dreamweaver 8 comes with Macromedia Studio 8. I'm getting worried about the age of the machine which is on. Is there a way to upgrade a laptop Windows 7 which does not involve a monthly rent and allows to work on the source code of my Web site completely offline?

    Thank you. Last time I looked into things with the description "Cloud", it seemed to me that you either need to be logged to the software work (possibly validate the rental date?) and/or your content of current things was 'in the cloud '.

    While I don't like the rental model, if I can make it work offline that may be an option.

    Fortunately, the machine still works, so I have little time to decide. It is likely that my existing sites in Dreamweaver 8 will be compatible up with current versions?

    I own a hp pavilion p6310f. and I'm looking to upgrade my power supply to hande the power of extra fans and an improved processor, cooling system, I need also a case that correspond to the only with other ports so my fan mounted above pci p6310f is left above the pci so I can use this location. and finally, I need to be able to add startech fans at the front. I don't need a fancy case just something larger but similar research for my style of case default hp p6310f

    Hello

    Look over this case Rosewill Challenger. It is not very expensive and it allows you to mount the input of the power supply down to the option (on a hard surface is recommended as a carpet could cause problems of air flow).  Don't forget to take into account the width of the case when buying a system of cooling heat sinks cool air are high enough.  This case has a lot of large cooling fans.

    The existing media player could be a problem (finish and made search).

    I have one using the Rosewill future for one of my PC, but I see that it is out of stock Newegg.

  • HP G62-b51SI: Max Ram in a laptop HP G62 b51SI

    Nice day

    I would like to know what is the max Ram I can update in my laptop HP G62-b51SI?

    At the moment I have 2x2gig of Ram. When I insirted 2x4gig ram, the laptop wouldn't start.

    The problem with that is that if it has a global maximum of 4 concerts there also a max per slot of 2 GB. So, theoretically a 4 GB does not work in a slot, if max is really 4 gigs. If 4 GB works when it is installed by itself, then we can have a bad location or a problem of bad module. This seems like an extreme long shot, but what you have to lose by trying?

  • I am considering upgrading my laptop for Windows 8. What can I expect if I do this?

    You may want to consider upgrading your laptop for Windows 8, but don't know what to expect or if it is compatible or not.

    If you are in this category, then you will find this site useful.

    It will give an idea of what to expect with possible isuses and a link to a tool for verification of compatibility at the bottom.

    Blink on following: HP has tested my computer with Windows 8? at the bottom of the site and enter your product number.  This will tell if the system has been tested for Windows 8, and if he can or can not get updates driver and software Windows 8.

    I hope that the site will help those who are considering upgrading to Windows 8.

    Which resembles the specification of right for the RAM, I'd go personally with Crucial rather than Corsair.

  • 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.
