Can i upgrade my g5 2.0

a friend just gave me his old powermac g5 2.0 per processor
He has the original 160 sata hard drive it came with,my question is can i upgrade the original hard drive from a 160 to like a 250 ??

Yes, you can go as high as two 2.2TB SATA Drives, just be certain they're Sata 1 /1.5Gb/s compatible, you could add one of these under 2.2TB & it needs a jumper on pins 5&6 to slow it to G5 speeds...

  • Can I upgrade my Sony Laptop's Graphic Card?

    My laptop is relatively new and I only bought it a few months ago, model #VPCEB. It currently has a 512 MB ATI Radeon HD 5470 which I want to upgrade so I can have StarCraft II run smoothly because it is kind of choppy right now. I just want to know, is there a way I can actually upgrade my computer and what would be a good graphics card?

    It used to be that some laptops would come with 2-3 options of graphics chipsets, and you could swap between them, plus manufacturers might use the same form factor for a series of laptops (For example, all Dell Inspiron 8000 series units used the same card form factor - so you could upgrade an I8000 to the graphics chipset that came with the I8200).  This is no longer the case, even the highend gaming laptops don't have upgradeable graphics.

  • Can I upgrade my HP ENVY 14 DR DRE Laptop to a blueray and SSD drive?

    HI all,
    Can I upgrade my HP ENVY 14 DR DRE Laptop to a blue ray and SSD drive?
    cheers

    You can upgrade from HDD to SSD drive, but will not recommend it as it will void the warranty on the unit.
    Pertaining to  bluray drive, you might have some compatibility issues unless you find the right model.

    Hi,please suggest me some games for Compaq CQ62-105TU Laptop.Can I upgrade my laptop's graphics card

    Unfortunately, you cannot upgrade the processor or graphics card on this laptop.
    Here is a page from CPU-World that gives the specs for your processor:
    http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Bobcat/AMD-E%20Series%20E2-1800.html
    You will see down near the bottom of the page that it is not upgradeable. Some laptops come with the processor soldered to the motherboard. Almost all laptop graphics are this way. The only way that you would be able to get a faster processor/better graphics for this laptop would be to purchase a brand new motherboard. You can do an Ebay search for 'HP G6 motherboard' to see what average prices are if you want to go this route.

  • Can I upgrade my Laptop Hardware?

    I have HP pavilion G6 Notebook
    Q6470PA#ACJ is product code
    Inter Core I5 2340M 2.4 GHz
    and graphic card is AMD 6470M
    Hard Disk is 600 GB
    Can I upgrade My grpahic card or Hard Disk space?
    If yes , how can i do it?

    Graphics card no; not possible at all. Hard drive; yes but only by 40% to 1 TB and as a practical matter only 750gb drives currently have good performance. 1TB drives are big but slow.

  • Can I upgrade my laptop to 2gb Graphics Support?

    I'm using HP 2227tu Laptop.As laptop provides 1.66GB Intel HD Graphics 4000 (inbulit) but it is not sufficient to play high graphics games, so can I upgrade my laptop's graphics to 2GB ?

    What is the complete product name or product number of your notebook? You left off the first section of the product name.
    Lets start with you helping us by identifying your notebook completely.
    HP has produced and brought to market more than a thousand different models of notebooks and desktop PCs over the years. It is difficult to help you if we don't know which specific model you own..
    Method #1: If the notebook will boot into Windows, you can retrieve your Product Number by pressing Fn + Esc key.
    Method #2:
    Remove the battery and look in the compartment where the battery was installed. You should see a Service tag with printed part number and a product name. Please post the p/n (with all alphanumeric characters) here. If you live outside of North America, it helps us if you post the country of purchase. Also post the installed CPU type. (AMD or Intel)
    Don't forget to post the name of the installed operating system if you haven't already done that.

  • Can I upgrade the processor on my laptop? If so, what processors are compatible for my system?

    I have an HP Pavillion dv6-2150us, which runs an Intel Core i3 @ 2.13 GHz, 8 GB RAM and Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.  Can I upgrade this processor and if so, what processors are compatible to this system?

    First think about memory and an SSD drive. Laptop processor upgrades are a big hassle and not cheap.

  • Can I Upgrade my OS or Should I Buy New Laptop?

    OK, so I have been out of the Apple loop for quite some time. This laptop is from 2008. I love it, but the OS is too old. I can't update Firefox or download Chrome. I am a student and need to figure out a solution very very soon as Fall quarter starts next week. The college uses a site that doesn't work well with Safari, it prefers Chrome. So, I can't use my computer to do work. So, a few questions:
    1. Can I upgrade OS? If so, how? Are there problems with this?
    2. Should I just buy a new MacBook Air from Apple?
    3. I have considered buying a MacBook Air used from Ebay, Amazon or Craigslist. Please tell me if you think this is a good or bad idea and why? What to look for on used computer? Being a student, I am obviously trying to save as much money as possible. Some say Ebay is good because of the great buyer protection. Please tell me your thoughts.
    I don't use the computer for anything other than school work and searching the web. I don't need anything fancy.
    Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!

    It's a good idea to hash this out with someone at the Apple Store, who can show you the latest gear and its advantages/disadvantages. My responses are only mine; I hope others will chime in.
    1. Upgrade or update? You can't upgrade the OS, but every year, Apple updates the OS and offers features that can be quite appealing. I haven't experienced any problem with updates.
    2. You can buy a new MBA from Apple, but I strongly suggest looking at refurbs; just as good, at a reduction in price.
    3. You're safe with Amazon for the most part, though the price is nearly always retail. You can get a good machine on eBay, but it helps if you know your values and contact the seller before bidding. I don't trust Craigslist. Realize, however, that an eBay item probably won't have much or any of the original warranty, and some sellers may unload less-than-perfect machines. If you to the eBay route, insist on the return period if the machine seems to have problems.
    Features you should be aware of? SSD disk size - how much space do you need? Screen size - do you want 11" or 13"? Battery issues - don't expect long battery life, though the 2013 shows an improvemen; assume you'll be using the wall adapter a lot.

    Hi:
    Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.
    http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02642701.pdf
    Supported processors can be found in chapter 1, pages 1 & 2.
    Part numbers for processors can be found in chapter 3.
    Enter the part number in the box at the link below and you can see what HP charges for them.
