• G61 - 320CA: upgrade CPU for laptop PC HP G61 - 320CA

  Hello.

  I bought this laptop in 2005 (new)

  Product name: HP G61 - 320CA (laptop, laptop)

  Product number: VM345UA #ABC

  Microprocessor: of GHz AMD Athlon II Dual-Core processor for notebook PC M300 2.00

  Cache of the microprocessor;         1 MB L2 Cache

  Motherboard:, DAOOP8MB6DO REV: D (cannot distinguish if they are zeros or letters after DA and P8MB)

  also written near the edge 16 "OP8

  After a good cleaning, I realized that I have the opportunity to upgrade the processor. The processor is removable.

  The installed processor is an AMD Athlon II

  Is there by chance, a way to find an upgrade to this processor that would be compatible with the laptop?

  Technical support told me that Intel were not capatible to stick with AMD but it coulndn can't tell me which one I could install.

  This laptop is no longer under warranty, but it is in perfect condition. I would like to find a faster processor compatible.

  Even if abandoned, I know I can find an upgrade on eBay (as any one of my office PCs.)

  Thx a lot

  Here is the Manual:

  They are practically giving these AMD processors because there is simply no demand away. It might be a fun project and if you have already opened it upwards and I saw how to remove and replace the processor at this price, you might as well. There will be an improvement, but don't expect miracles. Let us know if you need help most.

• Upgrading CPU for laptop HP Pavilion ze2355ea?

  Hello

  My first post - please be gentle!

  Can someone tell me if it's worth upgrading my CPU to a 1.6 GHz AMD Turion™ 64 processor ML-30, say, a ML-40 2.2 GHz or 2.4 GHz ML-44?

  And if it's worth the upgrade, I would find a significant difference in performance between the ML - 44 (available on ebay for over US$ 120) or the ML-40 (around US $60 or less).  Do I have other options for a CPU upgrade that correspond to a Socket 754?

  Some background info: I have a ze2355ea HP Pavilion 6 years old Notebook, running Windows XP (Service Pack 3), with original material specification following:

  Microprocessor AMD Turion™ 64 processor ML-30

  The microprocessor Cache Memory 1 MB level 2 cache

  Memory 1024 MB DDR 333 MHz (2 x 512 MB)

  Max memory up to 1 GB

  Video Graphics ATI RADEON® XPRESS 200 M IGP graphics card

  128 MB of shared video memory

  Hard drive 60 GB 4200 RPM

  Multimedia player DVD Writer double Format (+/-R +/-RW) with support Double layer

  15.0 "XGA TFT Brightview display

  I am not in a position to buy a new laptop now, but desperately need to improve performance and storage for internet streaming video and RAW photo editing.

  So, I've recently updated the RAM 2 x 1 GB ByteStor, and a 160 GB 5400 RPM Samsung HARD disc.  I've also updated my BIOS and other drivers with the latest versions, I can find.

  The increased capacity of the HARD disk is large and HARD drive access times are significantly improved, but the doubling of RAM from 1 GB to 2 GB did me not increase speed and stability that I expected to when running resource hungry applications in resources, such as RAW photo editors.

  But back to my questions of title.  It's worth the shot of upgrading me the 1.6 GHz AMD Turion™ 64 processor ML-30, for a 2.2 GHz ML-40 or 2.4 GHz ML-44? Can I find a noticeable difference in performance between the ML - 44 (available on ebay for over US$ 120) or the ML-40 (around US $60 or less).  Do I have other options for a CPU upgrade that correspond to a Socket 754?

  I'm perfectly comfortable disassembling and rebuilding my laptop, after already taking part to resolder a doubtful DC power outlet, so falling into a new CPU doesn't discourage me.  I would like to just some assurance that I would spend my money wisely.

  Thank you very much in advance for any advice.

  See you soon

  Hello

  The only faster processors that are compatible with the motherboard of your laptop are the:

  Mobile AMD Turion 64 ML-37 (2.0 GHz)

  Mobile AMD Turion 64 ML - 34 (1.80 GHz)

  Mobile AMD Turion 64 ML - 32 (1.80 GHz)

  The 40 ML and ML-44 are not supported by the BIOS.  It would be a waste of your money to buy.  The Mobile AMD Turion 64 ML-37 (2.0 GHz) is a supported processor. Given that the increase would be + 400 mhz it would be a significant increase in performance.

  Best regards

• Upgrade CPU on Satellite C70 - A - 16 L

  Hello, first of all I apologize for my bad English hahaha.

  I have a Satellite C70 - A - 16 L with pemtium processor I want to change it to an i3, i5 or a i7, is it possible?

  Thank you

  Upgrade CPU on laptops is not supported. This means that no one will be able to tell if the new CPU would work and if the laptop would be stable after this upgrade.

  Primarily this unit seems to be new. In this case, the warranty is still valid. If you disassemble the notebook in order to remove the CPU, you will void the warranty.
  I put t think it's worth a try.

  PS: even if you want to put a new processor, the performance gain is not noticeable. In my opinion better upgrade would be the use of SOLID-STATE drive instead of the HARD disk

• Upgrade CPU laptop CQ60-211DX

  I have a CQ60-211DX laptop.  It uses a processor Intel Celeron 585 2.16 GHz core simple.  It is a processor Socket 9.

  I want to know if it is possible at this level to a processor Socket 9 better, such as the Pentium Dual Core or Core 2 Duo.  My main concern is what families of processor will support the motherboard.

  My research so far indicates that the Celeron has a max of 31W TDP.  The Pentium Dual Core T3200 (2.0 GHz) and T3400 (2.16 Ghz) have a max TDP of 35W and the Core 2 Duo has a maximum TDP of 10 w.  So, the Pentium Dual Core would generate a little more heat than the Celero, but I think he might be able to handle the additional 4W?  The Core 2 Duo, on the other hand, almost cold.

  The Celeron and Pentium have 1 MB of L2 cache, but the Core 2 Duo has 2 MB.  The Core 2 Duo has a pace much more slow clock (1.5 Ghz), but I understand that it is still faster than the Pentium with the effectiveness of the architecture.

  I don't know how the FSB affects things, but the Celeron and Pentium are 667 MHz while the Core 2 Dio is 533 MHz.

  There are several other statistics I do not understand.  A large part of the information I have just the pages that follow.  Also, I have confirmed with a representative of Intel Celeron 585 is, indeed, Socket P.

  http://Ark.Intel.com/compare.aspx?IDs=35583, 37160,33920,36681,

  http://Ark.Intel.com/search.aspx?q=socket%20P&t=ProductGroup

  http://Ark.Intel.com/ProductCollection.aspx?series=28964

  http://Ark.Intel.com/ProductCollection.aspx?series=23517

  It seems that Intel does not often stated that a processor is Socket P, but Sockets supported including the PPGA478 seems to be what I'm looking for.  Not entirely sure, though.  There seems to be the T7000 and T8000 T9000 series processors that support PPGA478, also.

  http://Ark.Intel.com/product.aspx?ID=27255&processor=T7200&spec-codes=SL9SF, SL9SL

  http://Ark.Intel.com/product.aspx?ID=27256&processor=T7400&spec-codes=SL9SE, SL9SK, SLGFJ, SLGFV

  http://Ark.Intel.com/product.aspx?ID=27257&processor=T7600&spec-codes=SL9SD, SL9SJ

  Although T8000 and T9000 models all have much higher FSB speeds.  Yet once again, I don't know enough to understand what effect this has on compatibility, so I guess I should stay with 667 MHz.

  Finally, I guess the U7000 series is more advanced than any of the T series, but other TPD and VID lower voltage max quantity, all other specs seem lower (FSB, clock speed, L2 cache memory).

  Soldering is not a problem.  I don't know if my processor is welded on or not (have not yet cracked open and will not until I know that it is worth), but even if this is the case, I have a soldering iron, solder Wick and the skills to remove the welding without damaging the components.

  So what I've been able to reconstruct so far.  If someone could let me know which processors can handle the motherboard on my laptop, I would really appreciate it.  If someone could suggest what processors would offer the best performance gain, would be great, too.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  What follows is a listed one CPU upgrade CPU option for your product.

  Processor Mobile Intel Core 2 Duo T5850 - 2.16 GHz (Merom-MV, at 667 MHz front side bus, 2 MB cache level 2 total, taken Micro-FC-PGA, 35W TDP, 65nm)

  If you plan to upgrade limit you your purchase know CPU compatible and functional. This way you will save yourself the disappointment of an incompatible CPU installation.

  As notebook BIOS do not have many options tweakable, which disqualifies basically anything but what the manufacturer offers for upgrades in option.

  the CPU I have listed and linked to is probably the best you can do for your laptop.

  1 of 3. Theoretically you can upgrade the processor as follows:

  and 1333 MHz front side bus (FSB)

  Frankly I would not worth it. The workload and potential will weigh much more heavily in the balance than the gain of performance negigible. An SSD would be much easier and would provide even more performance gain in any other game.

  The GeForce 230 M is the best graphics available in this series, so there is no motherboard better. Graphic design is not a replaceable but welded card to the motherboard. There is only one available for this model fan. Perhaps you could improve its performance with best chocks composed or perhaps thermal thermal but it's a cutting-edge engineering.

• Upgrade CPU on Satellite Pro C660-219

  Hello.

  I wonder just to upgrade CPU on my laptop to get some perfomance.
  I did the upgrade of RAM to 8 gb and 64 bit Win7.
  Now, it's processor i3 - 370 M (3 m cache, 2.40 GHz).

  I'm sure I can go to i3 - 390 M (3 m Cache, 2.66 GHz) processor, but it will be useless IMO.
  It has same Cache and just a little bit faster CPU count:

  Tomasz Kowalski

  > I need someone to answer the question: can I ride this laptop an i5 or i7 without problem with compatibility with the motherboard?
  You should know that upgrades of processors are not supported by any laptop manufacturer. This means that no one can tell if a CPU would be fully compatible and cause no worries. These upgrades are own risk.

  You could read this statement from Toshiba about upgrades.
  [Is it possible to upgrade the CPU or GPU of a Toshiba laptop computer? | http://APS2.Toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm]

  The point is that even the chipset which is part of the motherboard would support the new processor, BIOS would not fully compatible and the combination of BIOS and the new processor may cause new troubles.

  The camera seems to supports the INTEL HM55 chipset and to my knowledge, the Toshiba Satellite C660/C665/Pro C660 series is based on a Dual Core/Quad Core Processor (* Intel Arrandale processors *)

  So if you want to find a compatible CPU, you should check the processors owned by the family of processors Intel Arrandale.

• Upgrade CPU on Satellite Pro series - Impossible?

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro with a deleted warranty and I'm always happy with the speed of my CPU. Again a year from now I know I won't and I'm anticipating a CPU upgrade (after the upgrade of RAM and HARD drive) at this time. Some would say "sell & buy new", this approach will be more expensive because nobody wants to buy a laptop obsolete, but new compatible spare parts will become much cheaper...

  After saying that & after reading a lot of 'IMPOSSIBLE' in this forum discussion, I'm almost certain this type of upgrade because my laptop has big brothers with the CPU, I would like to upgrade. There are also many sellers of "repair" off market where I can learn exactly what to do or what not to do. I'm not inexperienced because I deal with several desktop PC repairs & etc. of mine & my friends...

  Having said all that, I wonder if it is STILL IMPOSSIBLE to upgrade a processor in my laptop? I know the risks, but I wasn't expecting that it would be a lot harder from examples of PC desktop. I don't think that incompatibility of CPU (pine, heat etc.) will be a problem since there bro as I said & I also manually checked all other requirements, such as the dissipation of heat, chipset compat. & etc...

  Yet, I read something about "microcode" and the incompatibility of the BIOS. Here's the same thing? Given the new processor in its series does not guarantee BIOS compat. ?

  That's all from me. All comments and suggestions are welcome as long as they came with an explanation. (written 'No you can't' without cause will not help at all)

  Thank you...

  > I know the risks, but I wasn't expecting that it would be a lot harder from examples of PC desktop.
  Of course, the CPU upgrade is much trickier as an upgrade of CPU on the desktop PC.

  If you want to upgrade the CPU, you should know...

  -How to disassemble the laptop and remove all the covers and parts without damaging other laptop parts
  -If the CPU is not soldered onto the motherboard and can be removed on a simple passerby
  -If the BIOS can handle the new processor and fan table that stored in the BIOS would provide consistent settings for cooling the CPU properly.
  -If the chipset is compatible and supports the new processor
  -If the firmware needs to be updated (only by an ASP) because the wrong info of the DMI will not allow UC to perform with maximum efficiency.
  -If the laptop will run stable after the CPU upgrade for the new processor is pleased to produce more heat.

  As you can see the upgrade is not easy and certainly not possible.

• Qosmio X 770-116 - can I upgrade CPU i7

  Hi all

  I currently have a Qosmio X 770 - 116 Core i5-2410qm / 8 GB 500 GB 17.3 - tft Dvd Win 7 Azb

  Can I upgrade the processor to a core i7?
  If so, what is the name of the i7 processor?

  Thank you

  Jos Sallets, Belgium

  This Forum on NECK, we discussed several times the upgrade. For best performance, a lot of people want to upgrade CPU. Update CPU is not supported, and in particular cooling system, each laptop model is designed to work with certain hardware platform.

  In general the Qosmio laptops have the best material with excellent performance, so I put t know why you think the CPU upgrade. In my opinion, you should spend RAM and HARD drive. It is supported and can be done by the owner of the laptop without losing the warranty valid.

  Maximum RAM HDD Upgrade and upgrade with SSD and you will see the difference. You will be surprised with the speed of your laptop is.

  I ve do on my laptop. It works perfectly now. Think about all of this.

  Someone at - he do it before?

  Thanks for all the tips!

  Hello

  First of all, you will lose the warranty if you would disassemble the laptop!
  This should be clear to you.

  Then there is no guarantee that your laptop would go well and stable after this upgrade the CPU.
  I m thinking about issues of compatibility between the processor and BIOS since the BIOS was pretested with the other processors.

  However, I have read some threads here on the CPU upgrade and some users do that
  Seems that some laptops run without any big problems after upgrade CPU, but I think it's not consistent for all series

  In General, the CPU upgrade is not supported - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

  Problem is that Toshiba offers no information on compatible processors that can be used on this laptop. Supported upgrade is RAM and HARD drive.

  This Satellite is old enough laptop model that can be used for everyday operations, so I see no reason to upgrade CPU. What do you need more performance?

  In my opinion, you can increase the Ram to the maximum level and exchange the original HDD with SSD faster.
  This will increase the performance of laptop computer s quickly and you can do it alone without any risk.

  Hello

  The AMD Dual - Core Mobile Processor A4 - 3300M belongs to the platform AMD Sabine (Fusion). The mobile chipset supported is A60M, A70M (M2-Hudson, Hudson-M3)

  Now to a few facts: updates for laptops are not officially supported by one of the manufacturers of mobile phones. This means if you want to try these updates only at you own risk.
  No one will be able to tell if the laptop would work properly after these updates.

  But I read in this forum that a lot of different people have been able to upgrade the processor, but in most cases, it's Intel processors.
  The chipset and BIOS must also support the new processor. In the case where one of the parties would not support new CPU, the laptop does not start upward.

  1 - CPU Intel Pentium M1.86 gHz, I can replace it with a dual core or core 2 duo of?
  The motherboard does it take? What is the most powerful CPU it can use?

  2-ram memory is 1 GB and I want to place as much as possible. 2 GB is the best that I can place?
  Can you recommend a brand of RAM which would give exceptional results?

  3-disk HARD 80 GB comes, and I also want to know if I can replace it with a bigger?
  Than do options GB 120 GB, 160 GB, I have more? These HDD fit as the size in my laptop?

  4-If you have any other recommendation of dope performance, please let me know.

  I live in Romania, I'm not sure where can I make these upgrades. What is the nearest place?

  Thank you and have a nice day.
  Florin.

  Hello Florin

  Tecra S3 is old enough laptop model, and expect too much with upgrades, especially with the CPU. Of way General CPU cannot be upgraded and perhaps should not be upgraded. Each laptop model has a specific design and cooling modules are optimized for the specific hardware platform.

  1. so, for you it is important to have the laptop stable without damaging the hardware. Okay, just for the record
  Tecra S3 comes with separate Intel Mobile Pentium-M processors - [1.73GHz/1.86GHz/2.0AGHz (0.748-1.356V)/2.13GHz (0, 748 - 1.372V))]
  [/ 2.26 GHz (0, 748 - 1.404V)] and these processors operate at 533 MHz bus clock.
  Update CPU not is also not supported if forget it. The CPU you have inside is powerful enough. What you need is more RAM and perfectly configured and optimized operating system.

  2 RAM can be upgraded up to 2 GB and it is not the problem. You can use 2 x 1 GB RAM DDR2-400/533 1 GB (PA3411U-1M1G).
  This RAM is tested and works perfectly with your Tecra S3 of will be.

  3 disk HARD upgrade is also not problematic. Tecra S3 uses SATA HDD and you can improve it with more than 120 GB. I'm 100% sure that you can use 160 GB with no problems.
  In my opinion, that's good enough. Isn t it? ;)

  4. optimize the operating system. Disable all unnecessary background processes and your Tecra will be working perfectly.

  >.. .i don't know where I can make these upgrades.
  Do it alone. It is not so complicated. If you need help let us know.
  Good bye

• Upgrade CPU on Satellite L450D-11V

  Hello. I have a Satellite L450D-11V and I was wondering which processors could I look as a possible next step upward from the dual core AMD that is already there? I can even change the processor or is it is soldered to the motherboard? I'll be throwing in some extra RAM as well for good measure. Maybe even a little hard drive SSD?

  I started to get a bit frustrated with my laptop because it's a little too slow for me lately and I don't have the money to get a new laptop, so I want to make updates when possible.

  Thanks in advance

  Check it please http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm
  There, you can find some useful information on the CPU or GPU upgrade on Toshiba laptops.

  My personal opinion is that upgrading the CPU is not necessary. As a first step, this step can be quite risky and secondly a performance gain will not be noticed. Another important thing is that, due to the specific design, each model of mobile optimized cooling system. A more powerful processor means more heat could present risks to the motherboard.

  There are other measures to make more powerful laptop but without any risk. You can upgrade RAM and swap original HDD with very fast SSD. These updates is supported by the owner of the laptop, and you can do it without risk. As a last step, you need to optimize preinstalled OS and I'm sure that you will be very satisfied with your laptop.

  I did the same thing on my machine for 5 years. Windows 7 starts in only 35 seconds and performance is just great.
