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

Eric

    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.)

  • Where can I find what should be my temperatures of the CPU for laptop HP Pavilion DV7-6195us?

    I download a software to view the inside temperatures and even if they have little symbols (green check, red/yellow flame, etc.) by every internal part (e.g. CPU0) I want to know what HP internal temperature range is recommended.  Thank you.

    What CPU is installed in your laptop?

    It isn't really a question of what HP is recommended. Your concern should be what the CPU manufacturer lists as Tjunction for the CPU.

    If your laptop is the Intel Core i7-2630QM installed then lists Intel 100 c as TJunction. I found the technique for your laptop here. You should be concerned if you see time > 85 degrees Celsius. Here is a link to Intel for your processor plug.

    Hello:

    When I read the service manual for the laptop, it says that the memory is expandable up to 2 GB (2 x 1 GB) DDR memory.

    See page 1-22.

    I'd install PC-2700 memory as you have here now.

  • Upgrading CPU for HP Pavilion dv9730nr notebook Entertainment

    I'm looking for the best/most fast Intel processor to upgrade a HP Pavilion dv9730 Entertainment notebook. The motherboard is a Quanta 30CB. Aware of the processor is an Intel Core 2 Duo T5450 1.66 GHz. I am trying to upgrade this laptop for my grandson to play some of the new games of intense action. I looked at different forums, but most of them is at least two years. I also watched the service for laptops manual series dv9700. The top page in their list processor is the Intel Core 2 Duo T7700 2.4 GHz. Since most of these lists are old, I want to know if there are faster processors that are compatible with the laptop and a motherboard safely.

    Only, you are sure to install a processor originally proposed by HP on this range of laptops. As noted above, it is not really a mother Quanta is a motherboard HP, full owner. There is also no way to improve the system without radical changes in case of cooling and engineering tips; the only CPU cooler is the original factory unit unless you do another and even in this case, the tight fit limits what you can really do. The fsb and the power must remain the same, as well.

  • Question about upgrading CPU for Satellite A30 104?

    Hello

    My Satellite A30 104 recently came at the end of its warranty and had to open the heatsink for cleaning, and seeing that the CPU was available, I wonder if there should be (likely) to upgrade.

    The processor is a Celeron 2.6 GHz (Northwood). I'm no more grunt, I would prefer a more low-power chip, while the cache L2 much bigger of a Pentium 4 is also desirable. I would be very grateful if someone could give advice if upgrades are likely available, and if so the chips would be appropriate? If I can give any more useful technical information, please ask.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Usually it s not advisable to upgrade the CPU on laptops, because no one can tell if the laptop runs correctly and stable after the upgrade.
    The heat and the temperature inside the laptop could be a serious problem.

    In any case, I think that the laptop supports an Intel 852GME chipset.
    http://www.Intel.com/products/chipsets/852GME/index.htm

    The Intel 852GME chipset is optimized for the Mobile Intel Pentium 4 processor, has a main bus at 533 MHz and up to 2 GB memory DDR 266/333/200 at high speed.

    But I'm not sure about m making it s 479 or 478

  • 15 - ab032tx: Upgradation to my laptop HP Pavilion ab032tx 15 Upscaled version.

    My laptop HP Pavilion 15-ab032tx I bought last summer and is still under warranty. My laptop having the graphics card AMD Raedon R7-M360 (2 GB) and 4 GB of RAM has been upgraded for Windows 10 Home (64-bit). But now, this model is not being manufactured and a rescaled my laptop version is to say 2 GB NVIDIA graphics card and 8 GB of RAM. So can I replace my laptop with this model until June 2016 so that I can get 10 Windows Home (64 bit)? However, I know a little amount will have to be devoted to this topic, but I am willing to bear.

    Hello @Arka69,

    Thank you for visiting the Forums from the HP Support! The forums are a great place where you can find solutions for your problems, with the help of the community!

    I'm not sure that I understand your question.  You specify that you want HP to replace your laptop, with the other version and pay the difference?  Your mobile phone can support up to 16 GB of RAM, so memory shouldn't be a problem.  If you ask to contact HP to upgrade the laptop, then you can consider contacting the HP support by phone for more options.  Please use the following http://www.hp.com/contacthp and create a folder for your question and contact HP. If you do not live in the United States / Canada, please click on the link below to get contact information for your region.

    No, there is no way because:

    -It s too expensive
    -It s complicated Exchange when you´re no technician for laptop
    -you won´t win any show (especially when the performance vs price comparison)

    Instead update your RAM and your HARD drive since that these components are comp. evolutionary and better will give you better performance.
