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.

  • Qosmio G30 - What HDD are compatible for a upgrade

    Hey Guys,
    I'd like to upgrade the HDD's in my G30 and am not sure what is compatible.
    At the moment they are the stock 120GB MK1234GSX drives.
    I've foung the MK3252GSX (250GB) but it is ATA8, whereas the current drives are ATA7.
    Is this an issue?
    Does anyone know what larger capacity drives I can fit into the G30?
    Cheers
    Gerald

    What you need is a SATA HDD.
    The G30 supports SATA controllers and therefore you should use the SATA HDDs (and not IDE)
    > I've found the MK3252GSX (250GB) but it is ATA8, whereas the current drives are ATA7.
    Is this an issue?
    The new ATA8 interface is faster as the ATA7 (133 MB/s) but its down compatible to the other ATA standards. Therefore you could use the ATA8 HDD too.
    > Does anyone know what larger capacity drives I can fit into the G30?
    Im not sure if you will be able to insert large HDDs as 250GB due to the BIOS limitation but someone said that a 320GB could be compatible too. But I never tested such big HDDs, so I really dont know if its true or not.

    You could upgrade but since your in the same family processor your not gong to get any gains with the upgrade. Stick with your current processor.

  • Power PC G5 - can I upgrade the processor?

    Hello,
    I have had my G5 since 2004, I love it. I have only ever had to upgrade the memory in the years I have had it. However, now that the processor is no longer used I can not upgrade the OS any further and many new programs both Apple and other will not work with my computer. So... I face a dilemma, I see no reason to get rid of a perfectly working computer. I would like to see if it is possible to just upgrade some parts. If so do I need to go to the Apple store, or can I find a savvy computer guy to just fix my compie up?
    Thank you!

    Hi kpdub, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    You can't upgrade the CPU, but you can upgrade the OS to 10.5.8.
    Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
    * Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
    minimum system requirements
    * 512MB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    You have to call Apple &likely ask for a Product Specialist to get it, if they still have it!

    Unfortunately yes, but Snow Leopard is still a great OS in the meantime so don't rush in too quick if you really don't need to.

  • Can we upgrade the graphic card on macbook pro 13 inch mid 2012

    I just bought my macbook pro 13 inch mid 2012. I am wondering can i upgrade the graphic card to NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M discrete processor with up to 1GB of video memory?

    Nope - you're stuck with the Intel 4000. If you wanted a higher-performance GPU, you should have bought a 15".
    Sorry,

    Why do people think they are postiing in a notebook forum when if you look around, this is clearly something else.
    If you really want a new Mac you have to buy one. That is part of the fun of owning laptops, they are not upgradeable.

    Hi,
    Upgrading graphics chips on laptops is very difficult and mostly impossible because the chips are soldered to the motherboard. You can upgrade the graphics chip by replacing the motherboard with a compatible one which has a more powerful graphics chip. In your case it is a mobo with an Nvidia GF GT650M with 2GB of DDR5 RAM. However, the motherboard costs approx $600. The part number you need is:  682040-001.
    It looks like M7series laptops are compatible with Dv7-6000 series laptops. See a service manual:

    Bluetooth-enabled Mac computer
    Two AA batteries (included)
    OS X Snow Leopard v10.6.4 or later

  • I have a MacBookPro5,1 using OSX 10.6.8 can I upgrade the OSX to 10.7 in order to use Norton Multi-Device?

    I have a MacBookPro5,1 using OSX 10.6.8 can I upgrade the OSX to 10.7 in order to use Norton Multi-Device?

    You can upgrade to Lion or Mountain Lion.
    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
            3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
             7. Xserve (Early 2009)
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.

  • L750: Can I upgrade the 1366x768 screen to a 1920x1080 screen?

    My Satellite L750 computer has a 1366x768 screen. It also has a GPU called: Intel HD Graphics 2000 (device id 0106). The max resolution should be 2560x1600 (https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/quick-reference-guide-to-2nd-generation-intel-core-processor-graphics-hd-graphics)  I also note that I can connect an external screen of 1920x1080 with no problem. Now the question: Can I upgrade the 1366x768 screen to a 1920x1080 screen?

    That is not true. As a matter of fact I bought such a screen. I wrote about that experience here: http://www.emagnusandersson.com/Upgrade_laptop_screen_to_FHD

  • Can you upgrade the graphics on a macbook?

    I am wondering if you can upgrade the graphics card on a macbook. I've looked in the online apple store but all of the graphic cards are for mac pros or macs with G3-5 processors.
    Do the current graphics on a macbook prevent you from playing games on windows when running bootcamp? I mostly play command and conquer, not a graphically demanding game. thanks.

    NO, you can't upgrade the graphics card. If it's not that demanding then it would most likely be fine.
