How do I change the processor in Qosmio X300-01U?

Hello, i bought a Qosmio X300-01U from bestbuy in Canada about a year ago and i would like to know a few things about upgrading it.
1. Can i upgrade the processor from my old P7350 to a Quad core processor or a core 2 extreme processor that supports my motherboard(PM45)?
2. If i can upgrade it, do i need to install an additional fan (since there is an empty slot for another fan.)
3. Is there any additional hardware i need?
4. Would the performance boost be significant?
5. Finally, would this upgrade cause any problems?

As mentioned in the Toshiba document, the CPU can be removed and another CPU could be installed but the question is; would the BIOS support the new CPU?
The point is that other modules are not tested and nobody can say how the BIOS would handle new CPU
The other point is the heat dissipation created by stronger CPU.
The cooling modules are not designed for stronger CPUs and in worst case the notebook would overheat
Therefore its not recommended to upgrade the CPU

    Hi
    I think nobody here can answer your question because here you can talk with normal people like you and me For such technical questions you should contact an authorized service provider.
    But I dont understand why you want to upgrade the CPU I doubt that this will bring a strong performance boost.
    In my opinion every Qosmio X300 is fast enough for all applications and I dont see a reason for making such a risky upgrade.

  • How can I change the password in the iBook donated to our nonprofit.  No password was given with the iBook?  We need to put in printer and other software.  Help, we can use the laptop without changing the password.

      How can we change the password in the iBook donated to our nonprofit?  No password was given with the iBook and every time we try to install items, the password window pops up.  We need to put in printer and other software.  Help! We can use the laptop without changing the password.

    If you did not get an OS X install-restore DVD with the computer you may need
    to buy one from somewhere, and you may be lucky to get a retail OS X 10.5.x
    version. The original grey-label install set of software and OS X it shipped with
    likely would be an older system than Leopard 10.5. Last versions of G4 Mac, &
    G5, shipped with a Tiger 10.4 system; so did early Intel-based Mac. Grey discs
    which accompanied other computer build models generally do not interchange.
    The last OS X version a PowerPC architecture can use, if supported, is 10.5.8.
    A PPC processor at 867MHz & faster should be able to run OS X 10.5 Leopard.
    {With the correct disc installer, you can use it to change a password and other
    things including re-install, and perform disk utility functions, etc.}
    There is a chance you may be able to get a white-label Replacement 10.4 DVD
    or Replacement 10.5 DVD from AppleCare or the online Apple Store (800myapple)
    from a Mac OS X system specialist; these have been available yet hard to get
    as not all persons involved with them seem to know if they still exist until someone
    is asking. These aren't retail stock, are special discs for computers who could use
    a system later than original old discs; these are complete install discs not for one
    specific series of Mac. Generally they'd work in supported PowerPC G4/G5; but
    do not replace specialized original install DVD, such as an early Intel mac requires.
    You'd need to have a serial number of the computer, and a method of payment
    when seeking some replacement system media from Applecare or Apple sales
    and these discs are not available in a retail store. The original Retail discs are
    labeled differently and shipped in a retail box with a big X on the front. Other
    sources for retail 10.4 Tiger or 10.5 Leopard may be online via amazon sellers
    or computer resellers who handle repaired Macs. Avoid mystery grey label ones
    that were intended to be sold and kept with their original computer kits.
    Good luck!

  • How do I change the default software that opens when I click on a document?

    I'm not sure if this is the right neighborhood to post this question, but here goes. How do I change the default software that opens when I click on a document icon. I've been without MSWord for a long while, so all my word processing docs have been written in TextEdit, the stock mini-word processor that comes with OSX. Now I have MSWord and I no longer need TextEdit. Even more importantly, I'd like Word to automatically open when I click on a doc created in TextEdit. Adding ".doc" at the end doesn't do it. It's still refers to TextEdit to open the document.
    Any advice?
    Thanks,
    John

    Select a document of that type in the Finder, choose Get Info from the File menu, change the application under Open With, click on Change All, and confirm your action.

  • How do I change the font style

    How do I change the font style?

    You almost certainly do not; Acrobat is not a word processor. Font styles, when they can be changed at all, are often a different font (bold, italic) or separate graphics (underline).
    Where do you want to change them? There are an amazing number of places in Acrobat to enter text.

  • How can I change the Approver and HR Consultant parameters?

    Hi Everyone,
    I’ve created a Time-Off Process using the tutorial downloaded from SDN site.
    When I try to start the Runtime project (Employee side) I find the “Processors Table” in "Create Time-off Request" screen.
    The Approver name is not correct… is not what I expected!
    1) How can I change (in the Design Time project/area) the Approver and HR Consultant parameters?
    2) How can I hide (in the Runtime area) the “Processors Table”? 
    Furthermore, I would like to have more information about the “Parameters Consolidation” meaning. Could you help me to catch this meaning?
    Thanks in advance,
    Enrico

    Do you mean "how can I modify the processor of first and second Approval and the processor of HR consultant" for the time-off process?
    I' ve the same problem, but unfortunately I can't help you...hoping someone is going to reply.
    Bye

  • How does one change the date format for PlayMemories Home folders?

    I am using PlayMemories Home Version 2.0.00.11271 and have many folders within it which contain only photographs imported from my Sony DSC-H9.  Unfortunately, PlayMemories Home insists upon dating all folders in a month/day/year manner; and this makes little sense if one wishes to have the folders listed in logical chronological order.  How can I change the date format to year/month/day?  Changing the name of each folder, one by one, will take a very long time!  Your helpful advice in this matter will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you. System information:
    Operating system: Microsoft Windows XP Professional
    Service pack : Service Pack 3
    Memory: 1.5 GB
    Processor:         Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.86GHz
    Max. clock speed: 1.86
    Manufacturer: IBM
    Model: 1847W76
    System language setting: English (United States)
    User language setting: English (United States) 

    I too thought that the folder naming format was obviously wrong and couldn't find a way to change it. I do agree that placing photos in folders according to when they were taken is a great idea. I had been considering writing some software to do just that. After discovering that PlayMemories does it, I had it re-import all my photos. Then I wrote a small Perl script to rename all of the folders into year-month-day format. Included here is the Perl script. It only acts on a single folder - use it on the root folder where all the PlayMemories folders are. It will rename all folders currently in a month-day-year format. I used it without problems but of course there is no guarentee that it is error free. This should work with any common version of Perl. Tom # There should be one command line argument: the directory to act upon
    if ( scalar(@ARGV) == 0 ){
     print "Usage: RenameDirs <dir>\n";
     print " Where dir is the directory containing the directories to rename.\n";
     exit;
    $mydir = $ARGV[0];
    chdir $mydir or die "Couldn't chdir to $mydir: $!";
    opendir(ROOTPHOTODIR, ".") or die "Failed to open the pictures directory $mydir: $!";
    @allphotodirs = readdir ROOTPHOTODIR;
    closedir ROOTPHOTODIR;
    foreach $dir (@allphotodirs) {
     if ( -d $dir ) {
      print "$dir is a directory";
      if ( $dir =~ /^(\d{1,2})-(\d{1,2})-(\d{4})$/ ) {
       print " and has the proper format: month $1 day $2 year $3 and will be renamed to ";
       $newname = sprintf "%4u-%02u-%02u", $3, $1, $2;
       print "$newname\n";
       rename $dir, $newname or die "failed to rename $dir to $newname: $!";
      else {
       print " but is not of the proper format\n"
     elsif ( -f $dir ) {
      print "$dir is a file\n";
     else {
      print "$dir is neither a directory nor a file\n";
    }

  • How do I change the partition scheme to use GUID partition Table.

    How do I change the partition scheme to use GUID partition Table so I can get Snow Leopard to download on my 10.5 disk.
    When I insert the disk it asks me to select  the disk where you want to install MAC OS X.It only give me one option the 10.5.
    when I click on it it says...
    "10.5" can't be used because it doesn't use the GUID Partition Table scheme.
    Use Disk Utility to change the partition scheme.  Select the disk, choose the Partition tab, select the Volume Scheme and then click Options. 
    I tried to do what it says and I can not find what it is saying.  This is the info about my MacBook.
    Model Name: MacBook
      Model Identifier: MacBook4,1
      Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
      Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz
      Number Of Processors: 1
      Total Number Of Cores: 2
      L2 Cache: 3 MB
      Memory: 4 GB
      Bus Speed: 800 MHz
      Boot ROM Version: MB41.00C1.B00
      SMC Version (system): 1.31f0
    Thank you for your help!

    The GUID partition option is one of three possible choices (click the "Options" button in the Partition") menu - be careful to have a full backup as changing the partition scheme will force an erasure on the disk. Take a look at this Apple support article for more complete information:
    Firmware updates for Intel-based Macs require a GUID partition scheme - Apple Support
    Ignore the stuff about firmware updates and just look at the changing GUID partition scheme.
    Good luck - and don't forget about the full backup BEFORE making this sort of change.

  • How can I change the display of Inbox in my iPad's mail app- so that it takes up the full screen?

    How can I change the display of Inbox in my iPad's mail app- so that it takes up the whole screen, as opposed to just about one third; the other two thirds display the full text of the selected email?

    You can't change the display in the Mail app, if you are holding the iPad in landscape orientation then the left-hand third will be for navigation, and the right-hand two-thirds will be an email. If you hold the iPad in portrait orientation then the navigation section becomes a drop-down section.

Cause I really hate some site with white background because as I read for an hour it aches my eyes but not on those with darker background color.

  • In the Menu Bar, under File, then Open File, how do I change the selections?

    I have Firefox 11.0 and Windows 5.1 (2007). In Firefox, I click on FILE in the Menu Bar, then OPEN FILE (Ctrl+O), and I see a small box; it says Look in: Mozilla Firefox. Below is a selection of files within the folder Mozilla Firefox. To the left is a column of four other folders: Downloads, My Computer, John, Lori. The last two are obviously two of the folders I've created on my computer, using Windows. But I don't know how they got here! I have no recollection of customizing this particular Firefox menu option by adding those folders, nor can I figure out what to do in order to further customize it. Can anyone tell me: (1) how can I change the original "Look in" option so that it opens with something other than "Mozilla Firefox" (which, after all, I never need to access)? (2) how can I add/delete/change the choices offered in the column on the left, so that different folders are listed? (Currently, if I want to access my Windows folders/files, I first have to minimize the Firefox screen; this seems to me a nice shortcut, but I'd like it to include shortcuts to the folders I use the most, which does not include "Mozilla Firefox"!) (3) Is this actually a Firefox feature, or is it a Windows feature? It does look like Windows (Windows style, Windows folders), but it appears only in the Firefox Menu Bar, along with Bookmarks, Tools, etc. Thanks!

    This sounds like a Windows thing ( You can post a photo and I can tell you for certain). Those folders are Windows system created folders that your computer has had since it was installed, all Firefox does is use the Windows File picker, which is what you see when you open that window. So, to customize you'd have to do that from Windows Explorer (not Firefox).
    The Window should however remember what folder you were in last.

  • How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the Bookmarks Library?

    How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the '''Bookmarks''' Library?
    Since the upgrade to version 9.0.1 of Firefox, the Bookmarks feature changes are confusing me. They seem to be confusing themselves as well. The list of bookmarks has changed. The font size is so small that my aging eyes cannot read it without fogging the screen with my breath. Some folders are out of alphabetical order (where I know they were previously good), and some are missing altogether (folders to which I frequently add references).
    As for missing or deranged files or folders, was there something that I should have done or now need to do to recover those after the upgrade (or before)?
    With regard to font size,
    1. there is no “Edit Bookmarks” or like option to edit the list in this version
    2. the “zoom” option in the “view” list of functions is greyed out when in “Show All Bookmarks” window
    3. expanding the browser window has no effect on font size
    4. “Preferences” settings for font size has no effect in that window either, including advanced settings
    5. “Help” offers none that I can find.
    Can any of you Help?!?

    Maybe this extension helps:
