Upgrade processor, the Inspector 531

I recently bought an Inspiron 531. I've updated the map graphics and ram. Now, the slowest thing is the processor. What type of AMD I, and is it scalable?  I see other 531 there with faster processors + 5600.  Is this possible on my mobo?  In addition, what is the diffrence between Brisbane / processors of Windsor? I can do either?  Is it a question of ps UPGRADE?   Any advice / guidance is appreciated!

  • Satellite P100-103: upgrade of the Core 2 Duo processor?

    I bought it is model and I thought to change the processor in a C2D. I just wanted to know if it is possible or not...
    BTW ive seen a P100 with double HD or something I want to know if it is possible with mine or I just read wrong '-_-

    Thanks in advance

    Hi Filipe

    Generally, the upgrade of the CPU is not very easy on laptops and undesirable. In my knowledge Toshiba doesn't supports CPU upgrade and you will lose the warranty if you open Notepad.

    As far as I know the microprocessor used in the Satellite P100 series (Intel Platform) will be different by the model.
    It supports the following processors:

    Intel Core Duo T2300(1.66GHz); T2400(1.83GHz); T2500 (2 GHz); T2600(2.16Gz); T2700(2.33Gz) FSB: 667 MHz

    Intel Core Solo T1400(1.83GHz); T1300(1.66GHz); FSB: 667 MHz

    Intel Celeron-M (Yonah core based) 410; 420; 430; FSB: 533 MHz

    Hope I could bring this matter to light.

    Good bye

    I have a MacBook Pro 17 withProcessor - in 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (circa 2007).  Running OS 10.7.5 (Lion).  System indicates the computer is not compatible with OS later.  Hardware can be upgraded to the latest processors and other components to make it compatible with the latest OS.  I think that later models of Macbook Pro 17-inch with processors that allow updates.  I was wondering if these can be swapped or if alternatives were available.

    Only the RAM and storage (HD, SSD) can be changed.  Everything is welded to the map logical and selected specially for the system configuration.

    I have a Mac G5 with OS 11.4.11. In order for me to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox, I have to install a new system. If I install a new system, I need to install new programs. Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, GoLive and other CS programs, PowerPoint, QuarkXpress, and many others. I can't afford to upgrade. I like good Firefox but what I am, I'm supposed to do?

    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

  • Should I upgrade to the latest Mac OS?

    So, here are the statistics of my iMac:

I can't find any particular final answer, so if someone could help me with a Yes or no, that would be great. Thank you.

    Your Mac is fully compatible with OS X El Capitan, so it's possible and even recommended that you update.

    However, if you are comfortable with what you have now and if you do want to use the new features introduced in El Cap, well, you can skip this version.

    Below you will find the General presentation of the OS X ElCapitan.

    Your PC has an AMD FM2 + APU installed in the FM2 socket + on the motherboard of your PC.

    You can only change an AMD FM2 + APU

    The FM2 + compatible processors are listed on this link from HP. See the section upgrade processor.

  • Upgrade processor for Satellite L50-A-138

    What are the processors spend at L50-A-138?

    Can I put Intel i7-2820QM?

    Update CPU or Exchange is not supported so, in my opinion, you should not think about it.
    More info on what you can read on - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

    Since my upgrade of the CPU experience (I ve tested on older models) will not offer a spurt of fast execution. If you want more performance without risk to upgrade your 4 GB maximum RAM 8 GB support and exchange standard fast SSD HARD drive.
    Believe me you will see the difference.

    One last thing. I don't know how old is your laptop, but this action will void the warranty.

  • Why used my upgrade to the Macbook Pro to El Capitan?

    Mackbook Pro15 inches

    MAC OS X 10.6.3

    Processor Intel clocked at 2.66 GHz

    Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz

    I deleted my Mac pro and restored to factory setting, when I bought my new and transferred the files too.

    Works great just except for bad battery, but I keep it is plugged.

    Whenever I try to upgrade to the new OS (El Capitan v10.11.2) MAC it will start downloading normally, then says 'updates downloaded successfully.

    What makes the tab ' installation you must restart "so I click on restart

    He begins to shut down, but before he turned off the blue screen flickers and the picture below pop up.

    (you can see my cursor and I can move it, but nothing else happens)

    Even when I leave it just like that, luckily if I hold the power, but I can force a restart and it goes back to my MAC OS X 10.6.3 like nothing happened.

    I would like to update, but I don't understand why I can't.

    Where do you download El Capitan with 10.6.3?

  • I have an iMac 2007 running osx 10.6, I would upgrade to the Mavericks.  I don't have an installation CD, how to accomplish this?

    I have an iMac 2007 mid running osx 10.6 with 4 GB of Ram. I want to upgrade to the Mavericks, 10.9. I don't have the installation CD and the App store only allow me to upgrade El Capitan. I'm afraid that this will bring my iMac to a crawl. Any thoughts on how I can find an installation CD or recommend other methods to achieve this?

    Thank you

    Larry

    Your model is eligible? You can install El Capitan now. There is no disk installer for use with OS X since the release of Snow Leopard. Why do you believe that El Capitan will bring your computer to a crawl, but the Mavericks will not?

    If I were you I would stick with Snow Leopard, because it is more suitable for your old hardware. Note that Snow Leopard is needed in order to upgrade to Lion or later version.

    Upgrade to Snow Leopard

    You can buy Snow Leopard at the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (US). The price is $ 19.99 plus tax. You will receive a physical media by mail after placing your order.

    After the installation of Snow Leopard you will need to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Combo Update v1.1 update Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store lets you download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.

         General requirements for Snow Leopard

    1. equipped mac to an Intel processor

    2. the 1 GB memory

    3. 5 GB of available disk space

    4. DVD drive for installation

    5. some features require a compatible Internet service provider;

    charges may apply.

    6. some features require Apple iCloud services; fees and

    conditions apply.

    Upgrade to El Capitan

    You can pass the Lion El Capitan or directly from Snow Leopard. El Capitan can be downloaded for FREE from the Mac App Store.

    Upgrade to El Capitan

    To upgrade to El Capitan, you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or installed Lion. Download El Capitan from the App Store. Sign in with your Apple ID. El Capitan is free. The file is big enough, more than 5 GB, allow it some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.

        Mac that can be upgraded to OS X El Capitan

    1 iMac (mid-2007 or newer) - model identifier 7.1 or later

    2 MacBook (late 2008 or early 2009 or newer aluminium) - model identifier 5.1 or later

    3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)- model identifier 3.1 or later version

    4 MacBook Air (late 2008 or newer)- model identifier 2.1 or later

    5 mac mini (early 2009 or newer)- model identifier 3.1 or later version

    6 mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)- model identifier 3.1 or later version

    7 Xserve (early 2009) - model identifier 3.1 or later version

    Lloyd, welcome to the forum.

    Let's talk about the video card. It seems from reading the plug on this model it requires a minimum of 450W to work properly. The current power supply unit (PSU) is only 250W. It is not simply enough to run it. This would require an upgrade of the power supply. I like Corsair and OCZ.  I recommend at least 500W.  Lack of cleanliness,' a stable current can cause performance problems.

    Here are taken processors supported by HP:

    Motherboard supports the following processor upgrades:

    TDP = 125 W

    AMD Phenom II X 4 9xx/9xxe/8xx Quad-Core (D)

    AMD Phenom II X 3 Triple-Core (H) 7xx/7xxe

    AMD Athlon II X 4 6xx/6xxe (P)

    AMD Athlon II X 3 4xx / 4xxe®)

    AMD Athlon II X 2 2xx / 2xxe®)

    It seems that your choice should work.  Given that you have, try it.

    I think that this combo should significantly increase the performance of the system.

  • HP DV7-3063cl laptop PC: what is the maximum temperature for safe operation of the DV7 3063 cl with the upgrade of the 640 M CPU?

    I have recently restored a HP DV7 3063 cl laptop that died a hot mother (MB). I replaced the MB with a new Board of Directors of HP when the price has been reduced to $100, updated the CPU with an announced as new AMD 640 M and applied Arctic Silver on CPU and graphics chips. I put in 4 G memory cool, got the computer to work and installed Windows 10.

    The computer seems to run very hot and stopped twice from overheating during its first period of 2 weeks when it there was not a lot of calculating, fan was run at top speed at all times, and the laptop was high to allow good airflow below.

    According to the program of the Open Hardware Monitor, the CPU had reached 97-99 C a few times. I bought support cooling a player and that seems to help a lot, dropping the temperature to 20 ° C.

    What is the maximum temperature for safe operation of the DV7 with the upgrade of the 640 M CPU?

    Anything more than 90 c is too hot. You can specify the processor and the motherboard you have installed?

    Also if this from the Manual:

    Thermal paste is used on 1 CPU and heat sink section 2 that the services it. Thermal pads are used on the chip Northbridge 3 and 4, the graphical subsystem chip 5 contact Northbridge and graphics/heatsink contact 6. Thermal material replacement is included with all kits of spare parts of processor, heatsink and system board.

    So unless you have changed the cooling system to heat composed on the chip graphic you should have used a thermal buffer. Without the pad, it may leave just a small hallway and destroy the cooling properties. You can use a shim in copper or other piece of something metal to fill the void, but if you just put the heat sink down on the video chip you won't get optimal even with thermal cooling paste.
