HP Compaq CQ43-400TU Dual Core 2.2 (Second Gen) Processor Upgrade

I have HP Compaq CQ43-400TU Dual Core 2.2 (Second Gen) Laptop.
I want upgrade it Core i3 or Dual Core HT and VT Support Modles
if it possible
please give me list of supported processors

Here is the manual with a list of possible processors:
Manual
The B960 is the same socket as a 2d gen Core i-3 so it might work.
The only issue is that, many times, the motherboards used with the low-end processors have been defeatured and do not support all of the possible functions of the higher end processors. It is almost impossible to know 100% in advance whether a specific processor will work 100% in such a situation. I notice that the system board options list different boards for the i-series and Pentium systems which is usually a dead giveaway. The i-series might boot and run but not all features will work, more than likely.

    I have a dual core mac pro tower , can  I upgrade to lion from snow leopard?

    The 2006 and 2007 Mac Pros can be upgraded as far as Lion. Mountain Lion can be installed on Mac Pros from 2008 onward. See below:
    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 can 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 iCloud services; 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.

  • Running 10.6.8 on Mac Pro Dual-Core Intel Xeon 2.66GHz processors.  Can I upgrade to Lion 10.7

    I've just upgraded from 10.5 to 10.6.8 on a Mac Pro Dual-Core Intell Xeon, 2.66GHz.   Is it possilbe to upgrade to Lion 10.7 with my Mac Pro Dual Core or have I just hit my ceiling on 10.6.8 update ?

    Mac Pros are not PowerMacs.    In 2006, Apple changed all its cheesegrater enclosure Macs to have the Xeon chip installed, and changed the name to Mac Pro at that that time from PowerMac G5.  That said, all Mac Pros can upgrade to a minimum of 10.7.5.   Only the earliest ones can't upgrade to 10.8 and above.   10.7 and later do not have Rosetta, the ability to run PowerPC (pre-2006) applications natively.  For other pitfalls, read this tip.

  • Dual Core Mac only using 30% processor power.

    Hi,
    I'm running Motion on a Dual-core 2.3GHz G5 Power Mac. My Motion renders are really slow - and bring the whole system to a crawl.
    Using Activity Monitor and Menu Meters, I can see that Motion is only using, at most, 50% processor power between the two cores.
    The machine has 4GB of RAM so that shouldn't be an issue, and I've run the same Motion files on my old 2.0 Dual G5 at home and the renders use 95% of each processor and are much faster.
    Is Motion not dual core aware?
    Thanks,
    Joe

    CPU processing in Motion is not the workhorse. GPU does all the heavy lifting. What graphics card are you using?

  • Mac mini core duo 1.66 ghz processor upgrade

    For all those who are savvy with compatibility of motherboards and processors could someone please tell me if I wanted to upgrade my cpu, what would the maximum processing power of the CPU be? My computer is old (mac mini intel from 2006) and I am willing to invest in a newer cpu to enhance my performance without completely changing my computer. With my motherboard how much (or what would be the maximum) upgrade for the CPU to still be compatible with the machine. Here are it's stats: . Thanks in advance.

    I must disagree because although the socket of your mini won't accept the c2 mine readily will since it can support any processors with an m socket. Particularly the ones with up to a 4m cache and a 667 MHz bus. Meaning I can put a processor of up to 2.33 c2d in my machine called (t7600). It's strange your mini didn't accept the core 2 but I'm assuming you used a P socket processor instead of an M. The P socket has one more pin contact then the M making it 479 pin and incompatible with both our minis. Their are M socket t7600 processors available but P's are more common and probably what you tried in your mini. If you are interested in upgrading your machine it is possible since as you said yours and mine are similar in their processor sockets, it's just a matter of finding the most suitable processor to fit.   I've done extensive research on this topic in the past few days and felt the need to inform you all about the true capabilities of the mini. Also about the RAM the reason that a max of 2 is accepted is because of firmware which Lion has apparently fixed.

  • Will intel core i7-4790 be compatable replacemetn for intel dual core pentium g620

    I have a Lenovo Idea Center K330B with an Intel pentium dual core g620 2.6GHz LGA1155 processor.  I want to replace it with an Intel core i7-4790K 4.0 GHz LGA1155 processor.  Is the i7 processor compatable with my system?  In other words, will I be able to do this?  I would apprecitate it if I could get some helpful information on this.  A yes or no will do, but I'm hoping for more of an explanation than that.  Thank you for any help you can give me with this.
    TonyB

    i would say no if there has not been a bios update in a while with a list of currently supported cpus i would only upgrade to ones that came out with the system, so if the fastest k330b was with an i5 760 then thats it
    also the mobo you have is 1155 and that cpu is a 1150
    if you do get another cpu you might need to reformat and install windows as sometime it does not go well

  • Turning on Virtualization in Compaq/HP Presario C500 with Dual Core processor

    Hoping someone can help me out.
    Running a Compaq Presario C500 laptop with the Dual Core processor. Intel's site says the processor supports virtualization.
    However, in the F.24 A Phoenix BIOS setup (pressing F10 on Startup), there's no option to turn on Intel Virtualization Technology on any of the Tabs. Tried downgrading the BIOS to F.14A -- as the description says; "Adds item to Setup utility (F10) to enable/disable Intel Processor Virtualization Technology."
    However, when I startup, press F10 -- there's no option for turning this on.
    Is there another place to go -- other than the F10 setup area of the BIOS -- to turn on Virtualization Technology?
    If an expert out there can help, it would be very appreciated!

  • For virtualization, what processor can replace Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU T4500 of Compaq 620?

    Dear HP community,
    I bought a Compaq 620 Energy Star notebook 3 years ago, and its processor is Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU T4500, but without virtualization feature. For supporting virtualization etc features, can you recommend a suitable processor to replace it without replacing the other components, and the notebook still perform as well as before? Moreover, what tools are required to replace the processor?
    Thank you very much for your help !

    i did some research, it looks like that the compaq 620 energy star notebook can  be upgraded to have virtualization feature by only replace the CPU (support virtualization), without replaceing any other components, e.g. the motherboard. it is much appreciated if anyone can help to confirm this.
    moreover, it is said that it is not good to replace the component like CPU of a notebook, because some of the notebook components are soldered to the motherboard, but i'm thinking this doesn't mean the notebook components can't be replaced. with the right tools, the right apporaches and with caution, the notebook components, like the CPU, can be replaced. it is much appreciated if any one can help to confirm this as well.
    if only upgrade the CPU (with virtualization feature) which is supported by the current motherboard (compaq 620 energy star), can the whole notebook system support virtualization technology (including motherboard, BIOS, CPU etc)?
    please do help to answer the above questions, and give me the firmed advice on upgrading the whole system to enable virtualization feature. i don't have enough budget to purchase the new computer system, so perfer to upgrade.
    thank you very much for your help in deed !

    Hi,
    I am wondering if I am able to upgrade my Processor to a Intel® Core™2 Duo processor T9550.
    I currently have a  Intel Celeron Dual-Core T3500, Both processes run on the Penryn PGA478 Socket. So I would assume there wouldn't be an issue? 
    Any answers regarding this would be much appreciated.
    Cheers.

    The information you just provided is enough.
    I wish that I had better news to give you.
    Unfortunately there is no BIOS support for the T9500 Core 2 duo CPU. The actual issue is the Intel GL-40 chipset on the systemboard. It does not support the mobile Core2 duo CPUs
    The following image shows the only two CPUs that are guaranteed compatible. Neither one has the grunt of a Core2duo CPU.

  • AMD dual core 64 X2 and Opteron 1**; what motherboard.

    Hi to everybody, my name is Mauro and I am Italian. I have had for many years a lot of mobos MSI that are shown always reliable and with really excellent utility. An example the LiveUpdate that unlike utility of other brand is very comfortable and reliable. Currently I have a system AMD 64 X2 3800+ stepE4 with Asus A8N SLI Premium and memory RAM G.Skill PC4000 (chip Samsung UCCC) F1-4000USU2-2GBHZ PC4000. I have many problems of stability and I would want to return to the brand MSI. I use the PC as Workstation I am not interested to the SLI and I would want soon to pass to the CPU Opteron 1 * * dual core. The customer care G.Skill has reported that the brands of reference for the development of the forms are the MSI and few others. You would know me to suggest a complete mainboard in the endowments, silent and compatible with the CPU from me you quote. How VGA I have both chip ATI X700 Silent Pipes 256Mb or NVIDIA 6600 always silent pipes 256Mb. I am not interested to overclock. I am observing with attention the RD480Neo2 and other mobo with chipset NForce Ultra K8N Neo4 Platinum. Thanks for your share and suggestions.

    Skippy, that's changing fast. Probably most major manufacturers are now explicitly supporting the Opteron.
    Even MSI is getting there: K8N Diamond Plus
    Hi,
    To a careful study I have discovered that perhaps my Asus A8NSLIPremium has a problem that Asus is resolving. However I have asked to one friend of mine to make a will the MSI K8N Diamond Plus; in Germany it is already available some exemplary. The fact that the development has been made really with the Ram DDR that I have purchased (the G.Skill PC4000) it is a very important factor for the stability of a system. You introduces then with a good section of feeding to 4 phases it is very important. Certainly I am not interested to the characteristics of overclock but a Ferrari is not purchased only for racing. I have not told you that in so many years I have almost always had 2 brands that have always guaranteed me reliability: Abit and MSI. Objectively now that have tried also a lot of Asuses (5) I are not fully satisfied. For instance the Utility: LiveUpdate2 gave me reliability in the update of the bios (operation that finishes in DOS); the utility AsusUpdate because of a bug in the summer '05 are cost me 3 MB (update that departs in auto and it finishes in Windows). Resulted not could remain without MB I have had to purchase other identical MB. And treating itself of corruption of bios no guarantee. I have also discarded Tyan because it accepts only certified RAM DDR and their support it doesn't guarantee the operation with my DDR G.SKILL. Now that are in game I don't sell certain the DDR!

  • Kingston Value Ram modules on PM dual core 2.0Ghz

    I have a powermac dual core 2.0 with 512mb non-ECC RAM.
    I'm searching for memory to upgrade my mac but the only kingston memory modules that i find in every local store i visited match the Part Number KVR533D2N4/X (X = 512, 1, 2, 4), that corresponds to "Value Ram" brand of kingston modules.
    I search in the forums about problems with Kingston Value Ram and i would like to know experiences upgrading dual core powermacs with this memory module (KVR533D2N4/X) or other 'Value Ram' memory modules provided by kingston.
    Thanks!

    I've used the Kingston brand on all my mac (ibook 700mhz G3,1.25DDR, 1.25 DP DDR & G5 DC. So far no problem. I recently purchased matched pair of 1gig (2 gi)DDR2 533mhz @ micro center, coast me $235.00. I was thinking about getting a seperate module. But I remember reading somewhere that for trouble free, better get the matched modules. 1gig x 2 per package = 2 gig or 512 x 2 = 1gig. I rather use brand for less head ache (so far).
