I have a labtop and I wanted to upgrade. Can I upgrade that? Or is it intergated with the whole system? What can I and can't upgrade?
AND:
Basically I want to be able to play sims 3 and tomb radier underworld. As you can see I don't think I will be able to do that;
Maximum Memory Capacity: 2048MB
Currently Installed Memory: 2GB
Available Memory Slots: 0
Total Memory Slots: 2
Dual Channel Support: No
CPU Manufacturer: GenuineIntel
CPU Family: Genuine Intel(R) CPU T2130 @ 1.86GHz Model 14, Stepping 12
CPU Speed: 1867 MHz
How do I fix this? I will not buy a new computer unless it is the last thing I need to do. Cause I have no cash :(
Can I change intel processor for my HP Pavilion dv6000t?
it would be very difficult, if even possible to upgrade your laptop.. laptops arent really made for gaming, so its difficult to upgrade them... to run the sims 3 or any other current new game, you would need a whole new duo core processor, a good graphics card.. very hard to do with the laptop... if you use your laptop for school/work.. thats probably why you got it, but if you were gonna use it for gaming.. thats where you went wrong.... your best bet is to save up... and get a desktop when you can...

How do i change my pc to a 64 bit form a 32 bit?
I have a 32 bit PC and i would like it to be a 64bit. the pc was built with 64 bit so i was wondering how i can change the pc to run as a 64 bit. do i need to change the processor?...if i do shall i get a 64 bit processor and install it by taking the 32 bit processor out. if not what do i need to change to change my system to a 64 bit.
thanks

Check whether you already have a 64 bit CPU in your pc, if it was built stating it was 64 bit then the cpu usually is a 64 bit processor.
You will then only need to install 64 bit operating system software.
You might need to put some more RAM in though.

If you have a 64 bit processor, you can run a 64 bit version of windows.
To find out if you have a 64 bit processor go to here: http://to./487a and click
%26quot;How do I tell if my computer can run a 64-bit version of Windows?%26quot;
Once you have done that, to use a 64 bit version of windows you'll need to install it from a disc. If you need to buy a disc with a 64 bit version of windows, just go to a computer shop and ask them.
What CPU have you got in there at present.
If it was as you say built 64-bit all you should need is a 64-bit operating system like Windows Vista/7 64-bit edition, which you will need to buy.
If it's only a 32-bit processor though you will need to replace the CPU and possibly the motherboard as well as Windows to make it run 64-bit. Check your motherboard manual to see which CPU's it supports, and if it support 64-bit CPU's then you should just need a CPU upgrade (if the CPU isn't 64-bit already).
You could already have a 64-bit CPU in there though if it was built for 64 bit e.g. if it's an AMD64 then it is 64 bit and just needs the OS (or some of the Intel's - Intels are a bit funny 'cos they didn't mark theres up 64-bit like AMD did so some are 64-bit some are 32-bit and you need the CPU number to tell which one it is!)
hi tufail
first of all you need to discover if your cpu has 64bit support and the quick and easiest method of discovering this is to download the program %26quot;cpu-z%26quot; from http://www.filehippo.com/download_cpuz/
then run the program which will show if your cpu has 64bit support... with this confirmed you then need to purchase a 64bit version of windows... some of the latest versions (windows 7,vista) come with both 32bit and 64bit disks when you buy them... and then you need to reinstall windows using the 64bit disk...( some disks have 32bit and 64bit on the same disk and you simply choose the appropriate version when prompted... note : 32bit will appear as x86...)
amd athlons supported 64bit much earlier than intel cpu,s... for example the athlon64,s ( around 6 years old ) support 64bit and these can be snapped up for under 拢20 ...
another thing about 64bit operating systems is the compatibility... when 64bit was initially released there were not many programs that supported 64bit however over the last few years 64bit has become much more stable
finally and most important the main reason for using 64bit windows is the memory support... 32bit operating systems can only recognize up to 3.5gb of ram(sometimes only 3gb) however 64bit windows can support over 4gb and windows 7 can actually support up to 192gb of ram .....(xp around 32gb ) .... and this is the main reason why most end users upgrade to 64bit....
i hope this has helped,any problems let me know
good luck tufail !
It depends on what processor you actually have..
The processor will need to be:
- If it is AMD: AMD64 compatible CPU
- If it is Intel: The lowest CPU that I know will work is a Pentium D or better
Assuming you have the right CPU, what you will need to do is back up a copy of all your documents and programs (make you you unregister them first). You will need to do a clean install of your operating system. What this does is wipe absolutely EVERYTHING off your hard drive. You will need to do a %26quot;Clean Install%26quot; of your operating system which I am assuming is Microsoft Windows.. :)
To install Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7, you will need to have the disk that you know has a 64-bit copy of Windows on it. You may have to buy it.
I highly recommend Windows 7- I have used it myself and have found no faults.
You can not %26quot;just change%26quot; the OS, because it runs totally different.
So in summary, you need to do a format/clean install. It is the only way.
thanks

How hard is it to change my AMD processor?
It's in a HP if that's any help. It has a 900 right now and I need a bigger one.
How hard is it to change my AMD processor?
I am guessing by 900 you mean 900 Mhz which would be a socket-A amd athlon? so you can only use socket-A cpus in your motherboard you may also need a bigger heat sink and fan depending on how much faster it is...best bet is to buy one that comes with a heat sink and fan..
All you do is undo the snaps holding the heat sink on top of the CPU, pull the heat sink off (it may take a little force there is a thermal paste that binds the Heat sink and CPU together) Pull the lever up and pull the CPU out.
To put your new one in......you can tell which way it goes in by the pin design on the corners and there should also be a arrow point at which end is up. make sure it drops right in the slot (shouldn't take any force at all) pull the lever back down to the locked position...you will have to apply a new coat of thermal paste to the top of the chip (an amount about the size of a rice grain is perfect) stick the heat sink on top of it and clip it back on then screw the fan down to the heat sink and plug it in to to a 3 or 4 pin mobo power connector.
if you dont get paste with your new one here is about the best you can buy:

How hard is it to change my AMD processor?
to change a processor isn't very difficult buy if you do it wrong then...
U KNOW WHATS FUNNY????
ive had a 512 for 5 years and it hasnt slowed down ONCE and its perfectly fine even when i run intense cpu programs ^^
NO LAG
It is easy, just move the locking leaver and remove the chip. Make sure your Hp Motherboard can support the new chip or it will not work.
Shouldn't be difficult, You just need a big, static free workspace, time and a calm mind when you do it! It can be fiddly. I recomend you get an antistatic bracelet before you start work too..just in case :) Make sure the processor is compatable with your other parts, and make sure it will fit properly in the case!Where can i get a cute new bed set hair gel

What kind of process is there to change these processors?
AMD 64 3800 to a 64 X2 4800. Whats the proper procedure for this? I know how to take one out, put one in using thermal grease but what else is there to finalize its installation?
What kind of process is there to change these processors?
Verify your bios supports 64 X2 4800. You may need newer bios revision.

Just remove the processor fan,take it out and put in your new x2 processor and finalize it by locking the two levers on both the sides of the processor heat sink.tat's it you are done!
Wow I didn't know the Duals worked on single mobos... Then again I havn't been payin that much attention recently...
Hell if their pins are correct then he's right... The hard part about upgrading your Processor is finding a compatable one... after that its as plug and play as anything.
it seems that u need to replace the present motherboard to dual-core processor motherboard. then, it will fit what u need.
Verify that your motherboard has the same socket as the CPU- ie 939 pins versus 940.

I want to make my old pc faster by changing my processor and mobo, How can I choose one thats right for my pc
I am currently running a 633 celeron, 256 memory, which is max. A 64mb video card. I already replaced the power supply with 350 or so watts so power isnt a problem. I've cut vents in my case and have an extra fan so cooling isnt an issue.
My question is how do i pick the right processor and mobo.
I want to get as fast as possible with my old e-machine.
I have also picked up a 80gb hd which i stil have to install.
Money is my biggest concern right now so less is best but I still long for great gaming, with new games. My system is basically a maxed out E-machine, But I believe with th right mods almost anything is possible. I have plenty of room for storage, and music and stuff but games play like crap. I need speed.
I want to make my old pc faster by changing my processor and mobo, How can I choose one thats right for my pc
I only run a AMD 2800 with 1Gb Ram and a Gforce FX5200, and I have little or no problems with games like COD2 - BF2, any of the stuff coming out soon and I'm going to struggle but all that in an old case only cost me 拢100 by shopping around.
The quality of the graphics is not amazing but it's fine for me and with 10Mb cable I enjoy myself online without spending wads of cash

A 633 celeron, 256 mem, and 64 video card? You could get away with playing games from eight to ten years ago with those configs. But such games as Oblivion and Gothic 3 demands, and I mean demands! higher-line pc guts! It's because the video graphics and loading and subsequent action will slow down your machine to a crawl without a higher mem video card and especially with having only 256 memory.
Check around for suggestions that can help you tweak you machine.
I just got a Compaq at Staples for 400 bucks. Plays most games, has a 512 meg of ram, a dvd burner, 17%26quot; monitor, 120 gig hard drive and a printer. Don't waste money on your current museum piece.
To get more bang for your buck you, may just need to buy yourself a good packaged desktop (Dell Sony or HP). After the cost of the mainboard and chip, you then may need to replace the case, with means pulling out all the devices you may have. Then you may find that your %26quot;cdrom%26quot; is too slow and want DVD-Rom and a DVD-Burner, also you will need to purchase a diiferent type of memory than what your old system has. No matter if you build the system or bye the system as a package, you want to have either an AMD Athlon64 or Intel Core Solo, or better processor. You want to have at minimium 40-80GB @7200+ rpms harddrive, preferrably SATA. Memory you will need at least 1GB of DDR or DDR2 RAM. Video cards you will want either ATI Radeon or Nvidia FX, with 128MB or better. LCD Panels save on desktop space so you may want one of those, 17+ inches is good. Of course get your DVD-ROM and DVD-burner. And most important of all, buy the games for it!
I recommend the purchase of a new machine, you will need New RAM and video cards that are compatible with the new motherboard.
Cheers!
Take it to a computer store, for under 50$, they will get what's best for you. Think... what if hardware's not compatible?
trust me upgrading an old machine is a waste of money. you can get a brand new Compaq, with warranty, customer support, monitor and all cheaper than buying parts for an old machine.

Can i change my processor? i have celeron m 1.6 ghz and want to change it to celeron 2.8 ghz which i have. i?
i know how to take out and put in the new one but can i just change it? if not how do i do it? help appreciated. ITS A LAPTOP
Can i change my processor? i have celeron m 1.6 ghz and want to change it to celeron 2.8 ghz which i have. i?
I seriously doubt it's the same socket, and it's a big rebuild job. Not for the feint hearted.
Can i change my processor? i have celeron m 1.6 ghz and want to change it to celeron 2.8 ghz which i have. i?
You can't change the processor in a laptop... Might as well get a new one.
It depends on your motherboard type.
Check if it has a %26quot;zif%26quot; socket.
and then search for the motherboard number on the net for the specifications.
They're too different. See http://compare.intel.com/pcc/showchart.a鈥?/a> Good luck...
you better be like a robot at soldering them.. them boards are soldered to MICRONS.. so not for humans to solder..
leave it as it is.. M processers are not the same as normal celerons... if thats the case... your just gonna have a very expensive mechano set..
try more more memory, or a new laptop..
In theory yes, but the chip set is different between laptop and desktop and furthermore it is very very complicated and not worth it.

Can i change my processor?
i have a intel celeron R with 2.2GHz i found a computer with a 1.8 intel duel core but the Computer has a virus would it infect my PC if i swap processors and how easy would it be do they just have to be the same cpu size and how much faster is a 1.8GHZ duel core than the celeron
Can i change my processor?
first of all no the only way it would infect your current PC is if you also swap hard drives. You will have to check what socket type is on the motherboard of your PC but from what i remember most dual core CPUs will not run the same socket as any celeron CPUs. next for speed some people who lack the knowledge think that dual core means 2 processors which is false it is 1 CPU with 2 proccesing cores running at 1.8ghz therefore you can run to programs simultaniously without slowing one or the other down
Can i change my processor?
Well, if they were the same size, and capatable to the motherboard, which they likely aren't, there would be no virus. And, you would loose speed due to the fact that the more GHz you have, the faster your computer is.
no, most viruses just cause the hard drive problems/harm.
processors r not affected.
just dwnload a kaspersky trial and remove the virus
n the 1.8 dual core shud b much better then the celeron.
u do kno that celerons are 1 of the slowest processors available.
No. The celeron is based on a 478 socket, where the dual core is (if it is a core 2 duo) a socket 775. You would need a new mother board and new memory. Why not just either remove the virus or format the drive and reinstall your programs on it?
Good Luck
Keith Mitchell,Server Engineer,Hostmysite.com
well it depends on the machine itself, mainly the motherboard and what socket type it uses, because there is many different types of socket type and motherboard type we would need to know what motherboard to say if it can support that dual core. and as for the virus, no it will transfer the virus between the windows cpu's
the virus attack the window in the HDD so it will not infect your pc
but make sure the processor are the same size for the old one and your
motherboard support it (intel duel core)
the intel duel core more faster than the celeron
