Upgrade the processor and the memory of SX280

Hello

I have OptiPlex SX280 bought 3 years ago

which has Intel Pentium 4 530 memory and 2 GB.

Given that I need to solve a problem of Supercomputing,

I want to upgrade the processor and the memory instead of replace the computer.

SX280 works with CPU Core2Duo E8200 having the same type of brooch (LGA775)

and 4GByte momory?

The SX280 BIOS is A09.

Hope to hear a response.

Thanks in advance.

  • 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).

    and if I can change the graficcard? If the answer is Yes... What is the best card I can actually use?

    > I want to upgrade the ram and the new graphics card

    Upgrading RAM is possible but the graphics card is unable to be updated!

    If you want to upgrade the memory you could update to 1536 MB max.
    The A60 supports 512MB internal memory and it is so that one memory slot where the extra RAM module can be inserted.

    These modules are compatible:
    PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 1 M 51)
    1024MO PC2700 (PA3313U-1M1G)

  • Is it useful to upgrade the memory on the Satellite M70 - 394?

    Is it useful to upgrade the memory on the Satellite M70 - 394? Where the best place to buy it and what I should go for? How will this affect my laptop? It will void the warranty at all?

    Sorry for so many questions

    Hello

    First of all it s worth it to upgrade the memory for portable computers. The increases in performance and the operating system should work better and faster.
    Well, I checked a few websites, and it seems that it is possible to upgrade the memory on this laptop to max 2048 MB (2x1024Mo)

    As far as I know the laptop came with a 512 MB module. In this case, the second Bank is empty. The memory location is placed at the bottom of the unit. If you want to upgrade the memory to remove the slot cover down and carefully insert the module. I think you'll find instruction how to handle the upgrade memory in the user manual.

    In addition, you can order the compatible modules form the Toshiba service partner. In this case, you will be sure that you have taken in charge to 100% and compatible modules.

  • Equium A60 runs unstable - how can I upgrade the memory?

    I have a friend visit me who has an Equium A60 which is very unstable when she runs multiple applications. I checked and it has only 192 MB of RAM. Can be increased and if so how much. How many slots are there on this machine?

    She is currently in the USA and I checked on Toshiba USA website and cannot find this PC is listed, so it should only be sold in Europe. It would be useful if someone could tell me what kind of memory it takes so I could look for it here. She is a student and in great need of a stable computer for his studies.

    Thanks a lot for all the help in advance.

    Hello

    Of course you can upgrade the memory.
    I guess you have only 192 MB memory main because the laptop came with 256 MB internal memory and the 64 MB are shared by the graphics card! This is why only 192 MB are free.

    Anyway, as I said the laptop came with 256 MB internal and memory is not removable.
    So only one slot is expandable!
    If you can upgrade the memory for max 1280MB (256 MB + 1024 MB)

    You can use the modules:
    PC2700 256 MB (PA3311U - 1 M 25)
    PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 1 M 51)
    1024MO PC2700 (PA3313U-1M1G)

    Do you know where is the crack?

    The slot is placed at the bottom of the device! The cover is fixed with a screw.
    Remove this screw and you will be able to open the slot and improve memory.

    PS; I think that upgrading memory is described in the manual of Toshiba that was preinstalled on your laptop.
    Alternatively, you can download this manual from the page of Tosh

  • 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.

    Your Service Manual:

    Manual

    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.

    Thanks for help and put me on the right track. I have a HPDesktop Media Center a1510n.  I increased the memory 4 g - it may be 8 g work with the purchase of four chips of 2G.

    The original processor is still in the machine - AMD Athlon (TM) 64 Processor 3800 +.  What should I buy for a good upgrade and is it hard to install myself.

    Hello Netbuckler,

    I understand that you are interested in upgrading the processor and graphics card on your laptop, is that correct? I will try and provide you with information that needed to get there.

    The processor can be improved in this particular notebook. If you go to page 91 in the maintenance manual , it will give you a list of processors and it will show you the steps to do it yourself. I don't know what your current status of security with this laptop, but if you are still covered the upgrade of the processor warranty this I just want you to be aware.

    Now and then when you're dealing with the graphics card it is soldered to the motherboard if you will not be able to update. If you really want to improve the graphics, as you go through the motherboard. There is a list of those on page 81 in the owner's manual as well.

    If I was helpful, or if you want to say thanks to me trying to help, click on the White Star under my name to give me congratulations. I really appreciate it.

    because

    I have i7 with 8 processors and when I chose (number of processors) 8 processors, that nothing has changed! It's same as 0.
    and I have 6 GB of ram and when I chose (maximum memory) = 6 GB, nothing has changed, but became 5 GB in the Task Manager!

    What is - c!

    can someone help me please!

     
    Hello
     
    These options to limit the use of processors and memory to the specified value. If you want windows to use all available processors and memory, you must leave two options not controlled.
    When the number of processors option is set to zero, Windows will use all available processors.

  • mini 210-1000: upgrade of processor and memory

    I have an urgent need to upgrade the processor cpu and the memory of my daughter because I think it would be a cheaper option compared to buy a tablet at the moment. My main reason, in addition to money, to upgrade his notebook are:

    ~ very slow to load web pages

    ~ slow to open files

    ~ memory is only 1 GB

    My daughter will soon be a teenager & I'm tired of sharing MY tablet. lol, but above all, there is nothing wrong w/the notebook to justify replacement.

    The system components:

    Intel Atom N450 @ 1.66 GHz 1.67 GHz

  • 3110CT: can I upgrade the memory?

    I tried running Win2000 but found that start up two BONES and some applications like Outlook are often terrible long. It seems that the RAM is too small (I have max 128MB installed) and it is constantly during the start up disk access.

    Some applications are also very slow with constant disk access. I think that more directly accessible memory could solve the problem.
    No there is no way to install more RAM?
    Is it possible to enlarge the direct memory card via PCMCIA or USB or any other interface.

    Is there perhaps another solution to my problem of slow 2000 victory?

    Thank you very much in advance for any advice.
    / bjolen

    the memory is upgradeble to 192 MB max with a 128 MB module

    the 3110 is a cute little sub-notebook, but of course with this kind of memory and a p2 300 mhz processor it will never win a contest of speed.
    However my own 3110 with W2k is not very fast, but not annoyingly slow

    Check your settings in memory of W2k (right click on 'my computer' etc.) to make sure that your swap file is correctly configured

    I'm afraid you need to be a little patient or buy a modern and much faster portege as Te R100
