Upgrade options? DV2Z WiFi modules
Hi all
I do not use Windows (instead, I use different versions of Linux), and get my wireless adapter to work in Linux is uneven, sometimes. It's a Broadcom BCM4322 according to lspci.
I was wondering if there was a way to upgrade my WiFi module for those who adapts, or if he was locked out of BIOS put on my computer. If so, what WiFi modules would work (while having the best Linux compatibility)? I had a lot of luck with the Intel PRO/Wireless chips in the past, but I do not know if those who will work.
Thank you!

You could point me in the direction of how to change the BIOS? I could install Windows briefly for flashing the BIOS changed if necessary.
Thank you!

HP Pavilion 15-n213TX: the upgrade of my WiFi adapter to acre.
Hey there,
I am interested upgrading my computer WiFi card laptop 15-n213TX HP Pavilion (Ralink RT3290 802.11bgn) to a Wireless AC in order to enjoy a faster internet.
I have a few questions on a Amazon ad for one and was basically told to check on HP forum to ensure that it works very well in my laptop (some blocked or something?).
Would this plug for me?http://www.Amazon.com/Intel-7260-HMWG-wireless-AC-7260-Bluetooth/DP/B00DMCVKMU
If not what are the options I have / can someone point me in the direction of one who will?
Thanks in advance
HP abandons the 'white list' that you kept to settle any wifi adapter you want to back a bit: well before your model which is fairly new. See p. 44 of the manual here:
You have an Intel processor and the wifi module that you logged on amazon.com works perfectly once you load the correct driver.

Satellite P100 - 216 (PSPADE) - CPU / RAM upgrade options
Hello guys,.
I just got a laptop Satellite P100-216 (PSPADE-01400UEN). (card: T5500 - GeForce Go 7600 512 mb, 200GB)
It has a Core 2 Duo T5500 inside and I intend to upgrade as well as the RAM to make a good laptop for my wife.
The question if CPU is supported (assuming that the latest version of the BIOS). I am interested in the series with FSB800 or same T9000 T7000 series (1066fsb) shall if possible because I can get them pretty cheap - I know that the T5500 is just 667fsb by itself, so I wonder if the higher FSB is supported or I stay with 667 Mhz.
Have searched through the net, but no information so far. Would not buy CPU only for it being not recognized by the laptop.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Kind regards
It is very nice for laptop and if you want to upgrade the RAM upgrade for your wife. In combination with the operating system pre-installed and optimized its own missus will be like to work on this machine.
Upgrade of RAM is quite problematic and you can do it alone. what you need to do is get the compatible modules and high quality.
I think now P100 has 2 GB of RAM, but you can upgrade to 4 GB.As compatible modules, you can use
TOSHIBA
PA3513U-1M2G (memory 2 GB DDR2-667 Kit) orKingston
KTT533D2 / 2G 2GB 533 MHz Module
KTT667D2 / 2G 2GB 667 MHz ModuleOn the CPU upgrade, I would just say that we forget. As a first step, it is not necessary to do so and secondaly - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm
Bye and good luck.

Hello
I have a T400 (7417CTO) and looking for possible upgrade options.
I know that some of the options available to drive HARD and memory. But I / m don't know for sure on the following...
11 b/g wireless LAN Mini-PCIE III 11/n?
I can replace the modem with a different card as wireless USB etc. ?
TIA
You could spend a T9900, which is the highest specification Core 2 Duo CPU.
The best available WLAN adapter is the 5300, which requires three antennas in the screen; you need to install the yourself third or potentially borrow one of 3G ones.
The Turbo and Wireless USB memory modules are interchangeable and are sitting under the letter B area of the keyboard.
You can get a webcam, BT, etc if you don't have them, but that involves disassembly of the cover.

Expiration of the Windows 7 upgrade option!
Hi, I bought a Toshiba laptop a few months before Windows 7 came out, making sure he had a Windows 7 upgrade option. I didn't upgrade when W7 came out because there could be problems with a new version - obviously I thought that I would wait to see how it was received. In any case, a friend of mine convinced me the other day that it is much better than Vista and I had to upgrade, but now I thought that there was a time limit on the upgrade option, and it expired on 28 February - last Sunday! I can either spend - I missed the boat. I called the customer service, but all they could do was repeat what the web page - the option has expired so far go.
I'm not at all happy about this because at no time I tells me that there is a limit of time on it. He didn't say it in product information, or outside of the box or what be provided inside the box. I had no idea that I had to do before the end of February for this - if I did I would have done it.
As far as I'm concerned, I paid for Windows 7. The upgrade option came as part of the cost of the laptop without any mention of a deadline. Toshiba can not see it like that, but it's a reasonable person would believe according to the information provided. Did someone else upset about this? I hope posting here will inspire the action without me having to be made to the small claims court. There is no way that this may be eligible under the law of consumption. Imagine a person selling a book token that had a period of 6 months without telling them and without printing anywhere on the token! That may not be legal.
If all goes well, there will be a few of us to exert pressure on this issue.
Luke.
Hello
I have ordered the Win7 upgrade kit at the right time and now use Win7 on my Satellite A300.
What I can say is that this forum is nothing but forum users and here you won't find any option just official statement by people like you and me.
Another thing, this downloadable image. As far as I know that something like that can not be downloaded.
What you can do now is to buy the Microsoft installation disc and install the clean version of Win7.I don't know what model of laptop you have, but all new laptops are supported Win7 and you can find all the important factors, tools and utilities on Toshiba download page.

Mini 210 help with upgrade options
I have a mini 210-1142CL
Someone has updated the motherboard on this model and if so, is it really make a difference in performance.
Upgrade options are also somewhat confusing.
The mini works fine for me and before that pitch for a newer model, wanted to explore options of upgrade of it for at least a dual processor at the fastest speed it can handle. Right now, it is running. Have disk space enogh with 128 GB of free space, 1 GB of RAM. Running a 1.66 GHZ N455 chip.
Not sure if a 1.5 GHZ dual chip will really make a substantial difference, or if it's time for new technologies.
Thank you
Stan
Atom processors were a dead-end. However, the N550 1.5 ghz dual was one of the best. A bit like the world above 'little person' but still a honor:
http://cpuboss.com/CPUs/Intel-Atom-N550-vs-Intel-Atom-N455
Just to put it into perspective, here is a graph of the N550 vs some real processors.
http://www.cpubenchmark.NET/CPU.php?CPU=Intel+Atom+N550+%40+1.50GHz
I saw the N550 motherboards for $45 on eBay. Performance is perhaps 30% better than the single core 1.66.
Your best upgrade is to install the 2 GB of RAM.
If you feel compelled by the whole thing of netbook, I'd get a new laptop. The technology comes from the netbook to be a reference in the calculation of the story. Good idea at the time. A good current smart phone probably has as much computing power.

I am trying to upgrade to Windows 7 on my Lenovo x 200 tablet which is currently under Vista 64-bit. My first attempt was with a version of Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit which, once started let me choose the upgrade option but then I notified (obviously) that would work to upgrade Vista 64 bit to 32 bit 7. Since I also have a DVD of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit, I moved forward and put this disk to try to upgrade. However, when I run the Setup it goes right to the choose what partition I want to put a new installation, do not allow me the upgrade option at all. Why is this and how do I fix this if I can do an upgrade rather than a new complete installation then I won't lose all my programs and others and end up with a folder of big 'windows.old '?
Which edition of Windows Vista are you attempt upgrade from?
If they editions do not match, you will not be able to make a place in the upgrade:
When important changes to your computer, for example an upgrade, it is always recommended that you back up your system before installing a new version of Windows. In your case, you can upgrade to Windows 7 depending on the edition and the architecture of Windows Vista, you have installed. If you are running a 32-bit version of Vista and upgrade to a 64-bit (Windows 7 edition) version, you'll have a pure make install, it is the opposite case.
If you are using Windows Vista Home Basic or Premium consumer editions, you can only upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate. In addition, you can make downgrades, which means, if you are running Windows Vista Ultimate Edition now, you cannot downgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium. You perform logical upgrades:
Windows Vista Home Basic > Windows 7 Home Basic, Premium or Ultimate
Windows Vista Edition Home Premium > Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate
Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Professional, enterprise or ultimate edition
Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Enterprise
Windows Vista Ultimate > Windows 7 Ultimate.
