BIOS support for CPU upgrade

Hello...we have a ca. 5 year-old dv6-1253cl notebook that I've upgraded to 8GB memory, new SDD, new USB 3.0 card...what I'd like to do next is replace stock Intel P7550 processor with either the Intel T9xxx or an Intel P9xxx series.  From the service manual, the system board/chipset will support up to the T9900 @ TDP = 35W, and up to the P8800 @ TDP = 25W.  My question is:  can I go beyond the P8xxx to P9xxx (e.g., P9700) even though that series isn't specifically called out in manual?  Others have successfully swapped out P7xxx for T9xxx CPUs on this particular model, but I'm inclined to maintain close to the stock TDP specs, and keep to P-series.  Is this possible?  Thanks in advance for any advice given.

I think I have the same family line as yours and I did upgrade it to a T9900 and it works great. I think I got like 4gig in it right now and formatted it to Windows 7x64 Ultra Sp1.

  • Mac Pro 1,1 disassembly for CPU upgrade in pictures

    A while back I upgraded my 2006 Mac Pro dual 2.66 Xeons to dual 3.0 Xeons just to see if I can do it. Kind of a practice run before I pay tons of money for 8-core 3.0 Xeons.
    In case anyone is wondering how it's taken apart for CPU upgrade, here's some pictures: http://picasaweb.google.fi/jiimaa/5150To5160?feat=directlink
    If any questions, I'd be happy to answer.
    Also, if anyone knows an easy way to take the plastic memory riser card guide thingy (what's it even called?) out of the memory cage, it'd be greatly appreciated.. I kind of forced it out, luckily intact.

    Very impressive set of pictures!
    Thanks for making the process of your brave adventure available for others..

  • Support for CPU extension SSE2 problem, please help

    hey guys,
    I recently got a PowerBook G4, and I'm trying to install the trial version of PPRO CS3 to give it a test run. And it gives me a message saying "Support for CPU extension SSE2" I read up on this and found out you need an INTEL MAC, which is ridiculous! for those of us with a G4, G5 system.
    Does anyone know of any way to bypass this system requirement and still install/run PPROCS3 on a non-intel mac.
    Thanks!

    Wait... water car idea
    Connect to a really LONG extension cord, or use a really BIG battery, to power electrodes to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen
    Burn the hydrogen with the oxygen in the engine... but I'm not sure about the net gain of hydrogen burning versus the electricity needed to power the electrodes

  • BIOS support for DTR Cpu's

    Just wondering if anyone knew if MSI was working on better support for DTR and mobile Cpu's with it's next bios revision?
    It's neat that I can get my CPU to run 1.5v and 10x multi through clockgen, but It'd be really nice if I could just set it and forget it in bios...

    I realy hope so, as i can only run it at proper mutlipliers with 1 memory stick in slot 1, not sure if this is because of the corsair memory, or the boards support for dtr's (i think it is the later).

  • Correct BIOS download for Processor Upgrade

    Hello Folks,
                             I have a t60 core duo T2300 1.66Ghz.. I want to install a T7200 Core 2 duo 2.0ghz.  Do i need to update the bios? And which file on this site should i use?
    Hellpppp!!

    Welcome to the forum!
    Your machine will likely recognize the new CPU without any BIOS update. Having said that, whatever the latest BIOS is for your T60 (7-character model number would help) should be applied anyway IMHO.
    Good luck.

  • Check this out : Daystar, Inc. for CPU upgrade! Reliable?

    I recently bumped to a highly tempting news : it is now possible to upgrade my iMac FP 17" 800MHz to a faster 1.35GHz, along with larger internal HDD, RAM and Optical Drive. The only option not available is the Video Card (they say it's on-board by default and cannot be replaced).
    A company named Daystar offers a low-cost CPU upgrade for the following iMacs (the right-hand GHz is the available upgrade specific to each model):
    15" 700MHz to 1.35GHz
    15" 800Mhz to 1.35GHz
    17" 800Mhz to 1.35GHz
    15" 1.0G to 1.92GHz
    17" 1.0G to 1.86GHz
    17" 1.25G to 1.92GHz
    20" 1.25G to 1.92GHz
    They say the upgrade is available for as low as $449.00. For additional options additional cost would apply, but anyway. I wonder if anyone had heard this before?
    Here's the link to Daystar, iMac FP upgrade section.
    http://daystar-store.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=732
    I mean, this really sounds sweet but how reliable is this? I thought iMac was basically a non-upgradable system, except for its external RAM and Airport(Express) network card. Pretty impressive, though. Surely worth a glance for those of us considering serious upgrade (like me).

    Hi,
    FWIW....
    Modifying some thing that was designed for a very specific purpose usually ( in my experience ) leads to problems further down the line. The excess heat may cause problems. Taking the thing apart and re-assembling may lead to others. Buying a newer, faster machine seems a far safer option - To me at least!

  • Where is the support for system upgrade malfunctions?  I lost PDF options

    and I am getting no resolution to the issue. My computer was fine before the most recent upgrade. I even tried to download the 10.5.7 combo upgrade several times after it was suggested. The download not only took forever but I had to restart it several times after it timed out. Once it finally completed and I installed it, I still am having the same problems including no PDF print options and my Pages keeps quitting.
    What is going on? MY COMPUTER AND ALL ITS SOFTWARE WAS FINE before the most recent upgrades.

    This might not actually have been the case. One of the top reasons for an upgrade failing is for there to be some kind of subtle underlying problems that the user might not yet have been aware of. For that reason, it is strongly recommended that you repair the boot drive and repair permissions before every system update.
    The other likely possibility with 10.5.7 is bad RAM, as it seems to be picky about that. However, bad RAM would not show up as a lack of PDF print options or a single app crashing, so that makes it unlikely in my eyes.
    Also, *never ever* restart your computer in the middle of an update, unless you are reasonably sure that it has really, truly frozen. If such a thing does happen, you should download the combo updater rather than using Software Update and try that. Of course, if you have installed the update without doing the preemptive diagnostics, you should go and repair the hard drive before trying to update again.

  • Apple support for ATV upgrade

    I'm just out of my warranty on the ATV and didn't purchase extended Apple care on it. Now, with the upgrade to new features, there are related issues that require support, but Apple is pushing back and saying they won't support me without my purchasing Apppe care.

  • Do MSI intend to implement BIOS support for IOMMU in its 890FXA-GD70 ??

    All three of Asus 890FX boards officially support IOMMU in their BIOS -
    see the following two links:
    http://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx?id=20100609185547531&SLanguage=en-us&board_id=1&model=M4A89TD%20PRO/USB3

    Now we ask for MSI's official stance on implementing IOMMU support in an upcoming BIOS for its 890FXA-GD70 motherboard. 
    And, if affirmative answer could you give us an approximate date when to expect a beta BIOs to try out?
    The following OS environments should be able to take advantage of any hardware I/O virtualization support:
    -Xen 4
    -Linux+KVM
    -Vmware ESX(i) (VMDirectPath)
    -Parallels Workstation Extreme 4.
    -Plus there's also a IOMMU wish ticket out for Oracle's Virtualbox...

    I contacted AMD a few weeks ago to clarify whether the IOMMU feature is available in the 890 FX chipset and this was their response:
    "Thank you for contacting AMD. I would like to verify for you that yes, the 890FX chipset does offer the IOMMU feature, however you will want to keep in mind that manufacturers can decide to enable or disable this feature through the BIOS and therefore you will want to verify with manufacturer of your specific board. But in short, yes it does offer the ability to do so."
    Pre-Sales Support -> http://us.msi.com/msi_user/PreSaleForm.aspx
    I had contacted pre-sales support before purchasing my board and they said IOMMU was supported, however now that I have the board I know that the bios does not have the necessary support.  Most likely they just thought I was asking about SVM.
    I submitted a support ticket asking when/if they were planning to add support but again there was some confusion about it being different from SVM.  Still waiting to hear back, I'll let you know when I do.

  • No BIOS support for USB? Cannot boot from USB HDD

    Hi,
    I was attempting to install a couple of operating systems (Linux, Windows Vista CTPs) on my external hard disk (USB 2.0, Firewire). And I cannot seem to - because there does not seem to be any way to specify USB device support in your boot sequence. It seems the BIOS configuration is limited to these 5 basic icons (no text underneath to even let you know what they stand for) - which seem to stand for HDD, CD/DVD, network, etc, but no USB hard drives (I don't believe FDD counts)?
    Windows Vista's installation for example complains that the BIOS does not support booting off my external hard disk - as does linux.
    Or am I missing something . . . ?
    Regards,
    -krish

    Hi Krish
    As far as I know it is not possible to boot from external HDD. If you want to install more different operating systems you can do it directly on the notebook HDD or even install them as virtual machine. I use VMware Workstation and I have install two different operating systems there (W2K and Linux).

  • Support for an Upgrade and issues with Hard drive full.

    I am on 10.6 Snow leopard and I need to get migrated into something later so I can take on better technology such as the ICLOUD and maybe get more productive. I am out of space on hard drive also and I have an older MAC. What can I do to keep going and maybe get upgraded and also not loose data. ? any suggestions, The Maverick upgrade says my older mac is not compatible.
    Thanks

    I would be 'careful' and cautious with WD MyBooks anyway, but FW800 can be a great external off line backup.
    What I would do is split two 1TB drives:
    Drive A: OS and apps, 2nd partition for backup of Drive B which has all your media and data files.
    Drive B: most all of your documents, video, music, photo, etc. which gets backed up to the 2nd half of boot drive.
    Also, leave room for a backup of Drive A's OS and applications and for repairs and such like Disk Warrior.
    It makes a "criss-cross." Great for dual drive setup.
    I'd put your 250GB drive in FW case for backup also running Disk Warrior maintenance.
