What is the best processor I can update?

I have a gateway 500 x, currently has a Pentium 4 2.4 GHZ.  Should I consider upgrading mboard or I can upgrade processor
It has socket 478

Hello

Have contributed to the maximum memory? It would be a real help.

You should be able to use a Pentiun 3.2 or 3.4 however check with gateway
Supported. (Do not forget to do.)

Check with the drivers, documentation online and Support technique Gateway.

================

Frankly you shouldn't buy a new motherboard and processor since to get any real
speed, you also need the new memory, hard drive and other devices. When buying
parts collectively those would cost much more than a pre-built computer.

So it's best to keep what you have, update as cheap as possible and when it is able
buy a new computer. Then you will have two PCs to work on.

I hope this helps.

  • What is the best processor for my laptop?

    Hello!

    I am owner of a N200 (0769 BAG) with a Pentium Dual Core T2310 processor.  I expanded the RAM to 4 GB it can handle, but I always miss the power I need for virtualization under Linux 64 Bits.

    So I intend to change the processor to have:

    (1) one with integrated virtualization instructions

    (2) the most powerful available on my motherboard that will work with my real 4 GB memory... (Corsair DDR2 modules 2 GB 667 MHz)

    ((3) consumption slightly more low power as possible in order to amirouche cool the laptop and the battery last more than a couple of minutes...)

    Thank you very much in advance for your answer!

    At the top you will see the processor [not a real processor but a representation]. He says he supports 533 MHz or 800 MHz FSB. Also, it supports 667 MHz FSB but is not displayed. Your processor will work in your memory at 667 MHz and 800 MHz FSB. If the speed of the memory is the limiting factor, there is nothing you can do. GM965 chipset only supports maximum memory 667 MHz.

  • Satellite S2410-504: what is the best battery?

    Hi all

    I'm a complete noob to this, but hope someone can help out me. I have a Toshiba Satellite, but I don't know which model - it says on the back that is s2410-504. in any case, I've had it for about 3 years and I think the battery is kaput, as it only stays on for about 15 minutes so disconnected from the sector, even when fully charged.

    The battery life has always been a bit short. What is the best battery I can get for my laptop and how much time it will last on energy saving option?

    Hi Cedric,

    The best battery for your laptop will be that which corresponds to the specification of Toshiba. Please check the following URL: -.

    Please check the part number on the back of your current battery for good compatibility.

  • What is the best way to stick a person in a group photo?

    I went to a friends House who had all their immediate family that came together, except one. I took a picture of the whole group that turned out to be good enough and they sent me a photo of a person who is missing. I scanned the photo and now I want to place the missing person in the group photo. Can anyone describe how to do this. I think something with layer masks or paint tools, but I don't know what is the best route. Can someone help me? It will probably not be perfect, but I hope that it will look OK.

    Thank you

    Lou Hosta

    Isolate the 'new' person of the background.  This is possible through a variety of methods, such as the pen tool, the quick selection tool and refine edges, masking, etc..

    Then copy the isolated image drag the group photo and transform it into a smart object.  Allow you to scale proportionally on the same size as the people in the rest of the group with minimal loss of image quality.

    If you need more detailed instructions, Google is your friend.  There are many tutorials in each of these topics out there.  There are also "Photoshop Classroom in a Book" series.

    Teach you Photoshop ("step by step") beyond the scope of this forum.

  • can I update safari 6.1.6. on MacBook OSX 10.7.5? If so - how? Otherwise, what is the best alternative?

    can I update safari 6.1.6. on MacBook OSX 10.7.5? If so - how? Otherwise, what is the best alternative?

    Only by installing a later version of Mac OS X. The current version is El Capitan.

    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.

    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

    To find the identifier of the model open system information in the Utilities folder. It is displayed in the Panel on the right.
