AMD Phenom II N660 vs AMD Phenom II N970

Hi all, I was wondering which one would be better for using things like Adobe Illustrator CC and Photoshop, and Sony vegas Pro. The N660 is a dual core 3.0Ghz and the N970 is a Quad 2.2Ghz. I wont be gaming on it and other than those programs it will be used for internet. I just need whatever is best for those programs and overall performance. Thanks!

Will VirtualBox 4.1.14 r77440 work with an AMD Phenom II N970 Quad-Core?

Greetings
I am running an HP laptop with the above AMD processor and 4GB memory on Windows 7 64-bit.
I am trying to install the latest Oracle Developer Days downloaded today (05/18/2012) and having some issues.
I downloaded and installed VirtualBox 4.1.14 and the extension pack with no problems.
I imported the Developer Days VM successfully as far as I can tell, it does appear in the left hand panel.
When I double click on it I get: 'Memory for crash kernel (0x0 to 0x0) notwithin permissible range'
I looked at the log file (1100 lines) but wasn't able to determine the cause.
Any help is greatly appreciated and as you can tell I am very much a VirtualBox newbie so please be kind! :-)

HP Pavilion g6 Notebook incompatible with AMD PHENOM II N660 processor

Hello,
I am having a problem with upgrading my laptop's processor.
Product Name : HP Pavilion g6 Notebook PC
Product Number : QJ283EA#ABU
The processor I've bought is a AMD Phenom II N660 which is supposed to be compatible according to this pdf:
http://www.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02770249.pdf
However when I took my laptop apart to place the new processor in, the processor socket didn't match the pins on the processor. Hope that made sense? I'm not an expert with computers, but have some knowledge about them.
What can I do? Is there anything I can do to fix this such as buying a new processor socket or is that something that can't be changed? From what I can tell the processor appears to be compatible according to the information on the pdf above, so shouldn't the pins be the same?
Thanks for reading and I hope someone knows how to help me!
This question was solved.

If the originally installed CPU was of the AMD E-Series, then the system board accepts only BGA413 socket CPUs.
If the CPU was an A-series AMD CPU, then the socket was FS1
The CPU that you bought is a Socket S1 (S1g4) type.
Upgrading the CPU does require a bit more than looking at the Maintenence & Service guide as a reference. The guide assumes that you have all of the perquisite knowlege. That is why tt is meant for HP Service Centers and technicians.

HP G62-224CA CPU Upgrade

It's about that time to do a couple upgrades on my current laptop to get it ready for school.
Current specs:
G62-224CA
XB061UA#ABC
BIOS - F.29 04/07/2011
AMD Athlon II P320 (dual core 25w tdp)
System Board: 1444 69.37
Chipset: AMD 785GX Rev. 00
Southbridge: AMD SB800
Planned upgrades:
AMD Phenom II N930 or N970 (quad core 35w tdp)
I checked the user manual located here however I did not see anything for the AMD 785GX chipset, even though I do see the Athlon II P320 on the list of CPUs.
I've done all my research, and have seen individuals go from the Sempron V120 to the Phenom II N620 without any issues whatsoever. I'd just like to know if I can go from the Athlon II P320 to the Phenom II N930 (or the fastest available AMD processor that's compatible)
Would be grateful if someone knowledgeable could chime in, since I called HP and was given a simple "no, HP laptops do not support CPU swaps", which is obviously false given that it has been done successfully with other processors.
Cheers,
Andrew

Replacing the CPU of DV7-4060us

I bought this laptop 2 years ago, I love it very much
As I'm doing more and more calculation and cpu-focused jobs on this laptop, I'd like to upgrade the CPU
I check the ebay, there are
AMD Phenom II N930
AMD Phenom II N950
AMD Phenom II N970
available for the budget,
i believe they are all Socket S1 which I found on the GPU-Z
Before I purchase one, I'd like to know whether those cpu will be compatibel to the 4060us's motherboard
If not, would you please give me any suggestion?
thank you very much!

CPU Upgrade DV6-3000 Laptop

I am wondering what is the highest wattage CPU and core count I can install into the HP1440 motherboard in the DV6 Pavillion laptop. Current processor is the AMD Phenom 2 n930 2ghz Quad Core.

Hi:
Below is the link to the service manual for your model series:
http://bizsupport2.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c02659236/c02659236.pdf
Looks like you can upgrade to the AMD Phenom II N970 Quad 2.20-GHz processor (2.0-MB L2 cache, 1333-MHz FSB, 35W, 3.6 gigatransfers/second).
I don't know that it is worth the hassle and expense to upgrade for 200 Mhz, but I'll leave that decision up to you.

880GM-E41 And Amd Phenom 840

I am thinking about ordering a http://www.msi.com/product/mb/880GM-E41.html and a AMD phenom II 840(HDX840WFGMBOX) but the 880GM-E41 does not list it under supported cpus but since the 840 a propus die would it work ? will msi release a bios update for proper ID

I have the same CPU in my 890FX-GD70 board, and it works fine and is recognised correctly, despite also not being on the supported list for my board. Should also work in yours too.

Palm Z22, Vista, AMD Phenom X4, Asus will not sync

I have a Palm Z22 and a computer with an AMD Phenom X4 CPU, an Asus motherboard, and Vista.
Sync problems range from unrecognized device to no progress when HotSync tries to connect.
I have worked with Palm techs and with Microsoft and tried every trick I have read about including modifying the register.
My hardware vendor has also tried, including going back to XP with no luck on this hardware.
Has anyone had success connecting in this configuration?
Post relates to: Palm Z22

I do not have bluetooth on either the PC or the Palm, but I have tried a USB to IrDA dongle. No help, same result.
In my most recent attempt, the USB driver window in the lower right says the Palm driver is loaded. I also have an entry in the USB window that says an unidentified device has been found. Sometimes I get the window that says connecting. Next, the Palm shows that the connection could not be established.
Just tried again to sync with the cable, and the USB window in the lower right reports that the device is not working correctly, replace the device. As mentioned before, the Palm works perfectly on my old XP based machine and on another Vista computer
The Desktop software from Access has a note that it will not work with multi-CPU machines; however, it also states that this does not apply to multi-core CPUs.
Is it possible that I am the only person using a multi-core CPU ? Or maybe the AMD quad-core Phenom is seen as multiple CPUs. The speed advantage of this CPU and motherboard are why I selected this configuration.

Error message after installing an AMD Phenom II quad core processor

1. HP Pavilion Slimline s5120y Desktop PC
2. Windows 7 64-bit
3. "Uncompatible processor installed, shutting down in a few seconds"
4. I replaced the AMD Athlon X2 7750 processor with an AMD Phenom II quad core processor
I had done some research on upgrading my son's computer's processor from an AMD Athlon X2 7750 processor to an AMD Phenom II quad core processor. I checked the compatible processors on the HP website and it showed that the AMD Phenom II quad core processor would be supported. The specs for the Phenom II I bought are: 95 watt / 2.4 GHz / quad core / hyper transport technology / AM2+ socket / integrated DDR memory controller / HD9750XAJ4BGH.
After installing the processor (with thermal paste) I booted up the computer and the message: "Uncompatible processor installed, shutting down in a few seconds" showed up. I tried again and the same thing. Is this processor NOT compatible with this computer or is something else going on?

Please discuss this under desktop catagory for better suggestions and quicker resolution. thank you

Pavilion a6700y with AMD Phenom X4 9150e -- Unclock to full speed

I have an HP Pavilion a6700y with 6GB DRAM running the AMD Phenom X4 9150e quad core processor.
The processor is "clocked down" to 2000 MHz by HP, but is capable of running at 3200 MHz. How do I increase the clock speed to 3200 MHz?
Do I need to add additional cooling capability? There is one fan on the power supply, another on the side of the case and a third on the processor itself.
What is the risk of unclocking a processor?

Desert-Aries, welcome to the forum.
HP has the processor locked so it can't be overclocked.

AMD Phenom Processor not supported by 2.0 beta

After trying out the slow and very bug ridden 2.0 beta on my old windows XP 32 bit version computer, we decided to try the 64 bit version on my new 64/128 bit computer under XP pro SP2. After a few seconds it decides the "processor is not supported".
This is a AMD Phenom processor with an AMD video card running parallel with the onboard video processor. It is reccommended by AMD for compatability on their website. I have 8 Gigs of ram installed. It should just fly, but won't even finish loading.
Has anyone else gotten this message? Will Adobe support the new AMD graphics processors and CPUs? I really do like some of the things lightroom can do but we need it to run fast and not crash, choke, ect.

Your processor is 64 bit but your OS, if it's XP Pro SP2, is not. You need the 32 bit version.

Help With Overclocking AMD Phenom II x6 1035t

Hello, I have recently ran into some problems when attempting to overclock my new(less than 5 days old setup).
The motherboard I had purchased comes with 2 switches called MSI Easy OC Switch. I have enabled both of these for a 20% Increase and booted up with several problems including a windows HDD Integrity check fail of some sort. I quickly worked through those problems with no real losses and continued with running a few stress tests with 20% enabled. I Blue Screened several times as well as having other memory errors from windows.
So, I decided to bump it down to 10% for a while and it was stable for the most part and ran without problems for a day or so until I started having BSoD's with that as well. My question would be if there is any way to overclock this setup while remaining safe and or stable for the most part. I have advanced bios functions for manual OC but I have yet to try them. So far from what I can tell the problems I am having would be related to the ram OC, I personally have heard the OC switch on the Motherboard not only increases FSB but also OC's RAM. If anyone has any suggestions or comments on how this may be resolved that would be great.
My Build Specifications are below:
Mobo: MSI 760gm e51
CPU: AMD Phenom II x6 1035t
RAM: 2x 4GB Corsair XMS3 1333Mhz
Power Supply: DiabloTek Elite 450 Watt PSU

i m not sure that u can achieve some sort of voltage stability with this psu, i ll not give oc a try with such thing ;-)
