G60-230US CPU Upgrade options?

I recently picked up this G60 and I really like the style, but I want to upgrade the processor a bit.
I know the chipset supports a wider range of processors, but not sure on what the BIOS supports.
I know that FAQ says most likely, the support is limited to the processors the computer was originally available to customize with, but I do not know what processors that might be in this case.
Any help is appreciated.

The Service manual has information on chipset info as well.

  • E520 CPU upgrade options?

    Hello.
    Hopefully a simple question. What are my upgrade options from the B950 CPU?
    I need to implement a VM environment and unfortunately the B950 doesnt support VT-x. Is the board in this i3 compatible?
    Ta muchly.

    I have same question I have e520 with 04W0466 motherboard and B810 Celeron CPU, is it support i5 CPU from another e520 with  04W0398 motherboard?

  • HDX9010 CPU Upgrade Options

    Have (2) non-functioning HDX9010NR laptops that I am hoping to merge into (1) rebuild machine and if possible, would like to upgrade the PGA468 T7500 (Santa Rosa) CPU and HD2600XT graphics.  I have read that I must be careful to make sure that the BIOS can utilize the faster processor--even if they are both Socket-P.
    Are the Core 2 Extreme QX9100/9300  the best option, or might the higher wattage cause me some overheating issues?
    Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi:
    Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.
    The supported processors are listed in chapter 1, page 1.
    http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01127000.pdf
    The manual does not provide much info regarding what video boards you can install other than the one in there now, so I can't help you there.

  • R400 CPU upgrade options

    Hi, I have R400 with Celeron 575 M 2GB RAM, but there is a big problem - with Windows 7 this really laptop can't work.
    I have check in wikipedia that the socket is Socket P, which will support some of these processors
    , but I'm not sure will they really work
    T5670
    T5800 (2MB, 2.00 GHz, 800 MHz.FSB)
    T7300
    T7500
    Thank you.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi there, welcome to the forum!
    It would be very helpfull if you posted the exact machine type of your R400 (4 numbers, dash and 3 more numbers/letters) located at the bottom of your laptop.
    There is a number of CPUs you can fit to your laptop, but do not search for just "socket P" because this means practically all Core 2 Duo processors, most of them incompatible with your laptop. You could safely go for a T8400 though, or a T9400 if you can afford it.
    Having said that, you have to be very carefull changing the cpu from a celeron to a c2d. There is the risk of high temperatures with the new cpu and of course a risk of destroying your laptop if you don't know exactly what you are doing.
    Also, take a look at the Hardware maintenance manual for your Thinkpad, it contains detailed information of how to handle any repair procedure.

    just wondering what are my cpu upgrade options? would rather get the most out of this laptop, cant afford to buy a new one, willing to put about €100 into this

    Hi:
    I am not an expert on AMD processors.
    If you think the ZM isn't a whole lot better (you need to look at the specs more than just the speed), then I wouldn't do it.
    The speed isn't a whole lot different and the L2 cache is the same.
    Normally the faster processors will run hotter when all else is equal (voltage, etc).
    Upgrading the memory is the cheapest, easiest route to a better performing PC.
    And definitely keep the vents and fan clean of lint and dust as much as possible.

  • CPU upgrade on Satellite L30-101

    Hi, I have a Toshiba Satellite L30-101. I've upgraded the RAM successfully to 2GB (2x 1GB) but I'm finding it incredibly hard to get information on processor replacements.
    The laptop has the latest BIOS on it (3.10-WIN - 19/02/08) but when trying to find information regarding whats in it I'm hitting brick walls. Firstly the site > http://www.toshiba-tro.de/biosinfo/ < doesn't have my laptop on it,
    Product Type: Notebook
    Family: Satellite
    Product Series: Satellite L Series
    Model: ? unknown
    Short Model No: ? unknown
    I did hope I could stick an Intel Duo in but with the ATI chipset, I'm pretty sure it wont work but again without knowing whats within BIOS, compatible.. I'm lost. The only processor I can find which may work, same package, FSB, socket is an Intel Core Solo Processor T1350 which kicks out 1.86 GHz, not a massive difference and I'm sure it can't be the only replacement option.
    Could someone and staff please help me with getting hold of BIOS info and compatible processors for my laptop. The current Intel Celeron M Processor 410 kicking out 1.46 GHz isn't good enough for Vista (cert on laptop) and basic multi tasking. Its lagging way too much even after a good tune up, ram upgrade, HD upgrade to 7200RPM. I'm in need of a processor upgrade but as mention finding it incredibly hard to obtain information of which would be compatible.
    Sincerely,
    Gourcuff

    Hello
    In my opinion your attempt to replace CPU is wrong. Why? Satellite L30 is not designed to offer some fabulous performance and it is designed for everyday usage. Best evidence for this was the price. It was not so expensive.
    Can you please tell us why do you want to have new CPU? Do you use some special software?
    Back to CPU replacement. As you probably know mobile computers have limited upgrade options and it is related to RAM and HDD upgrade. It is definitely unprovided for CPU upgrade and it is not supported. Specific design, especially cooling system is designed for certain CPU.
    Due to all this you will not be able to find any relevant info about CPU replacement.
    Check please this Toshiba document - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

  • Why is it that the new macbook pro processor upgrade option only offers up to 2.8 Ghz with Intel Dual Core i7, when back in Sep 12 I bought a 2.9 Ghz Intel Dual Core i7 Macbook, is the new one tuned to go much faster anyway?

    Why is it that the new Macbook Pro processor upgrade option only offers up to 2.8 Ghz boosting to 3.3 Ghz with Intel Dual Core i7, when back in Sep 12 I bought a 2.9 Ghz boosting to 3.6 Ghz Intel Dual Core i7 Macbook, is the new one tuned somehow to go much faster anyway, or will the new one be slower in fact?  Or does the solid state drive compensate for the lack of increased processor capacity?

    The CPU's come from different Intel 'families'.  The older ones are 'Ivy Bridge' and the newer ones are 'Haswell'.  Numbers alone will not determine the efficiency of  CPU.
    Ciao.

  • CPU upgrades for a G4

    I just bought a PowerMac G4 from eBay. I'm new to Macs and so far I haven't found much info on this model. It is an M5183, 733MHz, 512MB. I would like to upgrade the CPU. What are my options? What should I look for on eBay?

    Also review the user report database on this site:
    http://forums.xlr8yourmac.com/cpureview.lasso
    You select your Mac model and the brand of CPU upgrade you are considering and get a number of user reports on how the install went and how it works.
    NOTE: When you select your Mac model, you probably should choose "Apple G4 AGP Slot" unless you know you have a dual processor model.
    You might want to ask in the Apple forum for for older G4 desktops (yours is older than the late FW800s and MDDs covered in this area) to see if someone else has already performed such an upgrade on a machine like yours:
    http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=113
    I'm a little confused about which model you really have at this point. The M5183 number returns a Powermac G4 (AGP graphics) that had a 400, 450, or 500 nHz processor. I wonder if yours was already upgraded once (doesn't affect future upgrades).
    Look for extra stickers on the back and see if any have "M" numbers that end with capital L's, a slash (/) followed by another letter (example: M7825LL/A, M7825LL/B). Those may help narrow the search.
    A good resource for Apple Specs and how they were configured is the MacTracker database. Its format is more consistent than Apples' specs sheet format, making it easier to cmpare models. It's free and it's here:
    http://www.mactracker.ca/
    You can also run System Profiler (do "About this Mac" and click "More Info.." in the resulting window. On the first screen is "Hardware Overview." Copy/paste that (without the serial number) into a post here and that should precisely nail down your model.

  • Photoshop CS6 Running Slow After GPU/RAM/CPU Upgrade?

    Hi all,
    I recently upgraded my Mac Pro 1,1 with the following:
    CPU Upgrade to 2 x 2.66GHz Quad Core
    RAM Upgrade to 14GB
    GFX Upgrade to ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024mb VRAM
    Everything seems fine. My temperatures are normal and things are seemingly speedy.
    My problem is that Photoshop CS6 seems to run a little slow. I'm only working on web files (72dpi) that are yes, sometimes quite long in length (5000px high), but that has never been an issue.
    Some problems I've noticed:
    When I click to edit text, it may take 2 seconds before I can start editing it
    When I scroll upwards it chugs a little
    If I grab an object/shape and drag it around too quick, it might lag a little
    I'm not sure how to explain it really, but for the couple hundred dollars I spent on upgrading my maching, I wouldn't expect any of these things to be an issue.
    Here are my photoshop performance settings:
    Any suggestions would help. No trolls please.

    Something to try:  Reset Photoshop's preferences to defaults.
    Press and hold Command - Shift - Option immediately upon cold-starting Photoshop.  If you get the keys down quickly enough - and you have to be very quick - you'll get a prompt asking you to confirm deleting your current preferences.  Once you confirm that, Photoshop will start up with a default set of parameters, though you will still find you can select your named workspaces and (I believe) your Actions will all still be there.
    Try immediately to see if the problem recurs.  Then methodically make your preferred preferences changes, quit Photoshop, and restart, then test to see that the problem hasn't recurred.
    With some luck, you'll have cleared up the sluggishness, and will have been able to make all your preferences changes you like without it recurring.
    This really can work.

    Hi,

       http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01951704.pdf
    2. From my memory, when NVIDIA recalled the 8600M cards, it had to replace the whole machines (HP) because it could not just remove the cards.

  • Upgrade options for my new old Power Mac G4?

    So I just got a free Power Mac G4 MDD. It has dual G4 1.25 GHz cpus, 2 GB RAM, 4x80 GB Seagate Cheetah SCSI hard drives in RAID 0, Airport wireless, 2 Super drives, and a Geforce4 Ti 4600 GPU. It has a fresh install of Tiger, and I am wondering what upgrades are available for it; it feels smooth most of the time, but high res videos on youtube are pretty much unwatchable. I have done some research of my own, and I found a few pci-x cards that look useful, like for SATA ports, Firewire 800, usb 2.0, etc. I have also read about cpu upgrades up to 1.8 Ghz, and that it is possible to flash a pc graphics card to work on a mac, but all of the examples I've seen are with PCI Express graphics cards. Should I get the Sata card and use faster hard drives? Is there, in your experience, a good graphics card upgrade for my PowerMac? Is there a CPU upgrade faster the 1.42 GHz that I can get, and where? And what about overclocking my cpu? I got this for free, and I am willing to pay a few hundred dollars to upgrade it. I know its pretty old, but fixing up and upgrading old computers to there best is a hobby of mine.

    Should I get the Sata card and use faster hard drives?
    PCI or PCI-X controllers provide for good perfomance with SATA drives.
    The Firmtek Seritek cards have excellent compatibility, are bootable to connected drives, and will help provide performance beyond that possible with ATA drives on the native bus.
    BTW, PCI-X cards are backwards compatible to PCI.
    Is there, in your experience, a good graphics card upgrade for my PowerMac?
    The three best options for a MDD are a flashed Radeon 9800 XT, Radeon X800XT (flashed FireGL X3) or flashed Geforce 7800 GS.
    If one upgrades to Leopard, the FireGL/X800 is best.
    In Tiger, the 7800 GS is best.
    Is there a CPU upgrade faster the 1.42 GHz that I can get, and where?
    Sonnet used to make one (MDX Duet), but you'll be hard pressed to find one on eBay or such.
    IMHO, overclocking the 1.42 GHz processor to 1.58 GHz provides for a much more powerful machine.
    Heck, even at 1.42 GHz, the 7445 processor and 2 MB L3 cache are stronger, overall, than the 7447 processor used in the MDX Duet.
    And what about overclocking my cpu?
    http://bitsandpieces.info/Multipliers.htm
    OC'ing the MDD adds to heat issues.
    There are some great mods like this one:

  • Upgrade Options for ENVY dv6-7366ez

    Hello.
    I bought an ENVY dv6-7366ez notebook and I like to know the upgrade options for it (GPU, CPU, Display, Optical Drive). Here in Hungary I tried to contact with the official Hungarian HP support but they didn't have any information.... They said that the HP HQ don't share any information about it with them, but as i saw that's not true because i see many topics in the forum... Just not for my new/old notebook... So  like to know which CPUs and GPUs are compatible with my notebook and what are the display and optical drive upgrade possibilities.

    You can upgrade RAM to 16Gb and MAY BE able to upgrade CPU. Other than that you may consider buying a new machine, could be cheaper.

  • PXI 8156 166 Mhz CPU upgrade?

    I am looking at installing Win 2000 onto a PXI 8156 controller with a 166 Mhz CPU, so is there a CPU grade path from NI for this controller? Or will it just take a 233 Mhz Pentium or even a 333 AMD, or will the mother board need to be changed�? Has any one swapped the CPU successfully?

    Hello,
    We have newer controllers that ship with Windows 2000. The new family of controllers is NI 8171, and it comprises three (3) different controllers: PXI-8176, PXI-8175 and PXI-8174.
    Each controller has different specifications. The processor speed ranges between 566MHz and 1.26GHz, and you have a minimum of 20Gb hard-drive. We fully support these controllers under Windows 2000, among other Operating Systems. If you are interested in using Windows 2000 for your PXI system, one of these controllers would be the best upgrade option.
    You could try to upgrade the p
    rocessor of your PXI-8156 controller from 166MHz to a higher frequency. However, because we do not support upgrading the processors or motherboards of our boards, we have not made any tests on this so there is not any information about it.
    In the Applications Engineering department, we have installed Windows 2000 in a PXI-8156B controller, which has a 233MHz Processor. See KnowledgeBase 261E93YQ : How Do I Upgrade My PXI Controller to Windows 2000? for more information.

    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?

    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!
