HP dv6 AMD dual core 64 bits 2.20-GHz SSD Upgrade

Hello, i bought a HP dv6 a few years ago and now a need to do a upgrade.
and thought to put a 8 gb RAM and a SSD 500 gb disk. can i do this ?
thanks in advance.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

We kind of need the full model number. Yes to the SSD for sure, but just want to check the specs to be sure you can install up to 8 gigs. Very likely yes on the memory, too.

Unexpected reboot during simulation using multisim on AMD dual core processor

We are using NI-multisim 10 in a classroom environment and are experiencing sudden reboots during simulation without giving any error or warning. This happens on multiple machines, all being Dell Optiplex 740 with AMD DC 2Ghz as processor. Since these problems happen so frequently, making teaching quite impossible, we have shifted PC-room and are now using older machines. On these machines - Dell GX280 using intell P4HT-2,8 Ghz - we experience no more problems.
Is this reboot problem related to the article : Unexpected Errors with DAQ Device on AMD Dual Core Machine (http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/9CE22FE099AFB8BF862572FF007A5D45) and what do we have to do to fix this problem?

Nic
Can you verify your driver versions? Make sure that you are running the latest versions of NI drivers to ensure proper compatibility. If possible, you might try upgrading to multisim 11. If this does not solve the issue, try the single processor workaround in outlined in the following KB:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/D0FC3BE7D9F331398625731A005D76B8?OpenDocument
Altough it is surely decreasing the performance of the system, certain cases have shown that there is no other possible workaround unfortunately.

Toshiba Sattelitte L550D, AMD dual core processor M520, Firefox 3.6 works fine; any later version produces only server not fond for any URL; any one have a fix?

Forgot to mention op system is Windows 7 64 bit; 4 gig memory and a 320 gig 5400 rpm (slow) SATA drive. Have tried Pale Moon with the same result although its site shows the AMD Turion II dual core processor as supported

Yes, the question was poster from my desktop machine which is set to dual boot both windows 7 and Xp. I regularly run spybot scans but I'll try all the others you mentioned.

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.
Mauro

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!

AMD Dual Core Processor - Problem between tracks

I am running iTunes on a dual core AMD Athlon processor and notice strange behavior on the computer. When iTunes moves from one track to the next, it sounds like it is playing the end of the first track at the same time as the beginning of the second track. The same mp3 files play perfectly when downloaded to the iPod.
My theory is that iTunes is using only one processor on each file (track) but can switch to the other processor for the next track. Since they are asynchronous, they end up overlapping during the transition.
BTW - latest drivers, including the May '06 AMD driver are installed.

There's no need to worry, it's just a neat little feature, not a hardware issue. Some people like it.
In iTunes, go to the Playback prefereences (Edit>Preferences>Playback tab) and make sure "Crossfade Playback" is deselected.

AMD dual core 4200 2.2 vs i7 2.7?

Besides the obvious, what's the difference between these two processors. Is there a significant power gain from the i7?
I have a PC running the AMD chipset with 3 megs of RAM and just bought a MBP 13" with the dual core i7. What kind of performance gain am I going to see?
Thanks!

I don't have both yet. Just ordered the MBP on a leap of faith. Hopeing the i7 is a much faster processor.

Dv6710 Vista amd dual core

Hi guys and girls
i know there is a massive problem with the DV series with the wifi as well as other stuff
Well my problem is that my wifi is working fine and i can get on the internet with no problems
but i cannot get the orange light to turn blue once windows is loaded
It stays orange until just before windows kicks in then the orange light goes out but my wireless assistant says its still on and i get on the net okay
when the screen dims itself after a while the screen goes into sleep mode or what ever it does and the orange light comes back on
but as soon as i run my finger across the touchpad it goes out again the the wireless is still working
i have tried every wireless driver that i can find
also when i uninstall the driver the orange light stays on for both on or off positiion using the wireless switch
Has anyone come across this before or have any suggestions please ????
Also on the keyboard all is working well apart from when i press the Capital lock key the light does not come on
many thanks
maggie

I asked AMD Support just that question, plus clarification on the driver situation, and their response was to just use the 1.0.8.1 PowerNow/CnQ driver with X2 CPUs on Win2K. Given the slow uptake on Windows Server vs. the client systems I'm surprised they did not continue Win2K Server support for longer, in a market which is so important to them.

Mac Pro 2.66 Dual Core Intel Xeon (April 2007) - Hard Drive Upgrade

My hard drive is making rather worrying clicking noises so I think it's time to (very quickly) pick up a new drive.
I'm a little confused about what kind of drive I should order. The drive it came with is a Seagate Barracuda ATA. Would anyone be kind enough to advise if I would be able to use an SATA II drive? I'm looking at the WD Caviar Black 1TB as they seem to have good reviews.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Please excuse my ignorance but when I look at my drive in about my Mac it says ATA. There wouldn't be any issues given this is an older Mac Pro from April 2007?
There is an ATA section in System Profiler (from "About This Mac"'s "More Info" button), but it for the optical drives. The hard drives are in the "Serial-ATA" section.

MSI NEO4 Platinum + DUAL CORE detection problem after soft reboot

I just build a new AMD dual core system (4800+) and it consistently fails to detect the second core after a soft reboot from windows Xp. The MSI NEO4 Platinum came pre-flashed with the latest bios version 1.B. If power off or use the reset button I can consistently get it to detect both processors. Anyone else having this problem? Or know of a solution?
Thanks.

Hi, I did a upgrade from a 3200 venice to a Opty 165.[This is a different situation than your new build] I deleted the uniprocessor ACPI from the device manager before I removed the old cpu. It was a bit weird for me in that at first the bios saw it as a 165 dual core then the next time it would come up as single core. It went back and forth a few times between single and dual core in bios. I tinkered with a few things in the bios but not really sure if it helped but it eventualy stayed as dual core in bios and showes as dual core in windows. I have my MPS table version set to 1.4 in bios [ but it was this before change in cpu] also my IOAPIC is now greyed out [unable to change it, but it wasn't before] - both these are in Advanced bios features. In power management I have the ACPI standby state set to auto. Hope some of this might help you.

Which dual core to buy ?

Which is the best option, Opteron 165 or X2 4200+ (considering that they cost the same) ?

Just one more doubt, will my current Mobo. cause problems while o/c 165
Looks like youré going to be fine with a 165 opteron in combination with your MoBo / bios.
I would recommend a hdd format / new Win XP SP2 installation to recognize both cores and get best performance.
There is an AMD dual-core driver and a MS hotfix as well that could be used if you´re experience any kind of instability.
PSU looks fine and should deliver stable power and not set any limit for your OC adventure.
Don´t know what mobo/cpu fluctation you can expect on the K8N SLi Platinum board, but I got some 0,03v on my K8N Neo2 and it still handle a stable decent OC on my 146 single opteron.
As for dual-core cpu, I have an X2 3800+ on a DFI LP NF4 mobo overclocked to 2700mhz prime95 stable with both cores. It is powered by a Tagan 480w like yours. The cpu fluctation is practically 0,0 when running OCCT test.
Starting OC you probably already know there´s some bios setting that usually needs to be changed.
HT 4x or 3x depending on what "FSB" that is used ( HT 4x up to 250 and HT 3x above 250 )
The 165 has a low 9 multiplier which means you probably need to run very high "FSB" and use the HT 3x option if your going for higher OC ( compared to the X2 4200+ that has a 11 multiplier ) and for memory setting you will probably need to use at least 166 divider or even lower depending on what memory quality you´ve got ( only says 2x512 in your sig.)
I would also recommend running memory at T2 setting for best stability if you´re aiming for the higher OC numbers.
Then you have to find out what vcore ( ex.1.4v) and vdimm (ex.2.75v) that needs to be set for OC and some other things as well, but you could always read more about the details here ;

MacPro1,1 Dual-Core maximum upgrades

Where would I find the imformation for upgrades for MacPro1,1 Dual-Core Intel Xeon 2.66 GHz, as far as core, memory, and graphic display maximum capacity

First off, the Mac Pro uses SATA (not IDE) drives.
Second, apple advertises the max size as being the "max size currently". So during that time when you bought the MP, the largest size SATA drive was 750GB; that's why apple said 4 x 750gb. But in essence you can go up to whatever the largest is on the market. So 4 x 2TB is fine.

Quad core or dual core i3

i dont know which computer to chose. should it be quad core with 2.5 ghz or dual core i3 with 3.2 ghz?

There is so much more beyond just the CPU too - such as graphics chipset. Again, it all depends on the usage scenarios. Some workloads don't parallelize well, so work better on a higher-clocked but lower core count CPU. Others parallelize well and are better on a quad-core.

I5 vs i7, dual-core vs quad, GHz, GHz, GHz -- what does it all mean?

I'm looking at the mac mini configurations, and comparing with iMac configurations. I'm trying to argue we should go the mini route. I want this to be true for a couple of reasons:
The users are doing page layout or are artists. It's really nice for them to have a BIG screen, but it would be nice to be able to get nice screens and then not replace them as frequently as we replace cpus.
Machines get "handed down" from users who need lots of cpu and memory to users who don't need that so much. Those users might not need all that screen real estate, either, so in the computer "musical chairs" it would make more sense for people to keep the monitor that fits their work needs.
Eventually machines end up running serverish tasks back here in the computer room. (We have a collection of junk back here and it's awesome how well it works. We just retired our last G3 tower a few weeks ago, and we've got lots of old G4s and G5s, too.) Cast-off minis are great for us -- just stack them up and plug them into a kvm switch. Towers are fine, too. But a bunch of 20" or 21.5" iMacs? Yikes!
But looking at the minis, they appear to be underpowered next to the iMacs. The mid-price mini can be ordered with an i7 but it's only dual core not quad. The GHz on the cpus is lower. Is there something I'm missing here? (Like stuffing memory into the machine is more important than the cpu, or that the extra cores aren't going to do any good for my users running InDesign...)
So, help me out here -- how do I justify the mini? It just doesn't seem to have quite the same horsepower as what should be an "equivalent" iMac, at least on paper.

The bottom line depends on what your most intensive
application is. For instance, Photoshop will actually
perform better on a 2.7 dualcore that a 2.0 quad core.
Most of it's operations a singlethreaded (only doing one
thing at a time). But as an example, Hanbrake, which is
a video conversion application, will run 2 to 4 times faster
on a 2.0 quad core vs. 2.7 dual core.
The 2011 Macbook Pro line uses similar processors and
there are many benchmark reports for them.
The other item is graphics rendering. If you have graphics
intensive applications that are graphics chip dependent,
then you will want to opt for the Mini with the discrete
graphics option vs. the integrated Intel option.

Install Seagate 750GB 7200 into 15" MBP Core 2 Duo 2.33 GHz...good idea??

Hi Everybody
So my AppleCare has just ended and I'm about to 'change tyres' on my MacBook Pro 15" Core 2 Duo 2.33 GHz by upgrading the tiny 160GB HD to something more spacious.
I've been researching the procedure online, specifically ifixit.com and was initially going to replace HD with a 500GB 7200rpm Seagate - I've just now noticed that there is a 750GB 7200rpm Seagate now available which I think is compatible with my MBP (http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Seagate/YST9750420AS/)
(a) Can anybody please confirm this is ok to install? (Size dimensions seem correct 9.5mm (height) x 69.85 (width)
(b) Would there be any heating issues related to it?
(c) How about power.. would it chew up more battery?
(The reason I've opted for 7200 over 5400 is purely for speed.. I regularly use Audio Production apps as well as Photoshop & FCP so figured the faster RPM would be advantageous? RAM is already maxed out)
Look forward to hearing your thoughts as I'd love to order this and have it installed before the new year.
thanks all!

Yes, any 9.5mm high SATA will fit.
(b) Would there be any heating issues related to it?
The chances are better than even that it will run hotter than your previous drive. All other things being equal (rarely the case), a 7200 will use more power and create more heat.
(c) How about power.. would it chew up more battery?
See previous answer.
(The reason I've opted for 7200 over 5400 is purely for speed.. I regularly use Audio Production apps as well as Photoshop & FCP so figured the faster RPM would be advantageous?
Again, all other things being equal, a 7200 will certainly be faster.
