Processor and RAM

I use windows XP. I have an Intel Core 2 CPU 6300 @1. 86 GHz CPU and 1.00 GB of RAM.

If I increase the RAM to 4 GB will do no significant increase in speed?

Hello

The important thing to note here is if you upgrade to 4 GB of RAM and you are on XP 32 bit instead of 64-bit, you do not use all of this RAM.

^^ How to tell what version of XP you are on.

It is a processor quite dated with both low clock speed. Upgrading your RAM from 1 GB to 2 or 3 will give you a significant increase, Yes, even in the basic OS tasks, but this processor will always hold you long term in some stressful tasks. Note that if you talk about the performance in terms of video games, 3D, rendering videos, etc, you can think about buying an entirely new system in the near future as video rendering and such on this CPU is bound to take some time.

Kind regards

  • How can I upgrade my PROCESSOR and RAM

    Hello, I use a HP Compaq Presario CQ43. There with APU AMD E-450 with Radeon HD graphics card and 2.0 GB of RAM. My question is can I upgrade my processor and RAM 4 GB because I want to play games. If Ican please tell me how? Please help me.

    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.

  • 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.

    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...)

    Can I put in my proceror R500 and RAM?
    Is possible? If Yes, how can you procesor I used?

    Robert

    Hello

    You can upgrade the RAM.
    You can use the DDR2 667 MHz (PC2-5300) or 533 MHz 200 - PIN SODIMM modules.
    You can use a 1 GB RAM module this is the max!
    There is also an internal RAM which can be removed if only one slot is expandable!

    With regard to upgrading the CPU.
    Usually it s not advised to replace/upgrade of the processor because the BIOS has not been tested with other processors

  • Satellite A500 - upgrade the processor and RAM void my warranty?

    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.

    See also this article from Toshiba:

    Finally and above all a RAM upgrade is not a problem. So check your user manual how to do this.

  • 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).

    Much depends on what the 'it', is that you have bought from your friend. If it's a computer with a retail version of Windows 7 64-bit, collect any proof of purchase of your friend or you have to the Win 7 retail and contact the team of complementary pieces of Microsoft. If you have evidence convincing or compelling property of the product, they will provide installation media nd the corresponding key. There is a charge.

    Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

    Thank you for details on the issue.

    This problem may occur because of damaged or missing Windows files. This can also happen if associated service is not running.

    I suggest you to check if the "Windows Management Instrumentation" service is running as set as Automatic.

    Please follow these steps:

    a. press Windows + R key, type services.msc in the immediate window and press ENTER.
    b. right click on "Windows Management Instrumentation" and click Properties.
    c. make sure that the service status is running and Startup type is automatic.
    d. If not, select the Startup type to Automatic and click on 'Start'.
    e. click apply and ok.

    If she did not help, run checker (SFC) of file system and see if it helps.

    I can't tell you for sure 100% that they will fail, because I don't have your laptop, and I never tried to install one of these processors inside.

    The said service manual they will work, is all I can say.

    You should check the support of your laptop and driver page and read the BIOS download notes version of the files to see if you need to update the BIOS before installing one of the processors exposed.

VM articles, Internet Explorer does not. Pls tell me solution wait.

    Hi Manju,

    Generally, this problem is caused because of the threats of viruses or malware. I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it works for you.

    Method 1:

    Run Microsoft Safety Scanner and check if it detects a virus threats on your computer.

    Microsoft safety scanner: http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. During these 10 days, it will remove all the files infected by the virus and records. I suggest you create a backup of your data, and then install Microsoft Safety Scanner.

    Method 2:

    Run Windows Defender in offline mode and check if it helps.

  • VAIO s series processor and ram upgrade

    Hi guys...

    my laptop model is: VAIO SVS13A1CGXB (Core i5 3210 M - 4 GB RAM)

    1 - the processor is the Ivy bridge. Can we change it to haswell processor? (if it isn't: what smart image bridge cpu? because my laptop is dual core.)

    2-can we move the ram to 6 or 8 GB?

    Thank you

    hani71,

    1 no, the CPU is welding integrated on the motherboard, you cannot replace just the CPU.

    2. According to the specification, it can go up to 12 GB (max. DDR3 / 1333 MHz)

  • Hearts of processor and Ram Ratio

    I know that this is not a specific question of VMware, but as everyone here is normally so useful, I thought I'd ask.

    Is there a point where the ratio cores operating system processor / ram makes one or the other unusable?

    I know it of extreme, but as an example, a server of QuadCore 2.3ghz dual with only 1, 2 or even 4 GB of ram will be surely a big bottleneck in the ram, is there a time where processors simply don't get used if there is not enough ram?

    Does anyone know of any can documentationI watch, I have been seraching for the Intel site, but do not seem to be able to find whatever it is

    Kind regards

    Scott

    As it is already been said we are not talking about not being able to use a resource at all, it's all a balanced host.

    In your example would work all the processors of a decision-making system of the Quad Core 4 with 1 GB of ram... maybe 0.8% of the potential... given that with 1 GB of memory you will no more or less support one or two virtual machines if you're lucky...  The amount of RAM you need is a function of the flow rate of the subsystem CPU is capable of... otherwise it's a waste of money (although VRP Intel/AMD would be happy to help you in such a scenario).

    the 4 GB by heart that I mention me on average workloads, allows you to have a balanced system.
