I have a CQ60-214dx laptop. I would like to upgrade the processor in it to something else. I have read on the Internet that it is possible to swap out the processor as long as you find the right socket, wattage, etc. processor. Is there a list out there of what is compatible with the laptop I have? I was hoping to find a processor that would take it from a dual core machine to a core2duo machine. Thanks for any info you can give me!
This question was solved.

Hi:
According to the specs page for your notebook it comes with a Pentium T3400 processor.
According to the service manual, link below, in Chapter 1, on page 1-1, it lists all supported processors that can be installed in your machine.
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02985882.pdf
That means you can go from your little ol' T3400 processor, all the way up to the mighty T9600 if you want to.
You are 100% correct about needing to know the particulars about the processor's FSB speed, L2 cache, lithography, etc.
Apparently notebook PC's have a much wider range of processors one can install. In a desktop for example, rarely do you get such latitude.
In any event, the only thing you need to check for you PC, is the BIOS release notes to see if any are required to support a faster or newer processor.
I've taken the liberty of doing that for you and note that no BIOS updates are necessary to install any of the supported Intel processors listed for you notebook.
There is one other tool I like to use and that is the Intel Processor Comparison tool.
Here is a sample of comparisons for you to review for proessors that would work in your notebook.
http://ark.intel.com/compare/35581,35568,35563,35583
I am surprised that your notebook can handle processors from 2 different code names.
I also don't like that the sockets supported are not named exactly the same. I googled the difference and it doesn't appear to matter.
However, it should have either the GM or PM 45 chipset which supports any of those Pentium processors listed in the manual.
http://ark.intel.com/products/chipsets/35509#compatibility
I believe the GL40 chipset is for celeron processors only.
So, that is basically it in a nutshell. You should be able to upgrade to any of the Pentium processors listed.

I have an iPad 3 and have attempted, without success, to upgrade to iOS to 5 or 6. I've tried it wirelessly, without success, and cabled it to my laptop, also without success. What am I doing wrong?
The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

Information regarding transferring purchases from your iDevice to iTunes on your syncing computer can be found at the link below.

I have OSX 10.4.11 and would like to upgrade to Mavericks. Can I upgrade to Snow Leopard or do I have to climb through all the other OS'? Thanks.
Hi, you need 10.6.8 first...
First you need to research all the problems people are having with the higher OSX versions, & make sure you have a bootable clone of what you have just in case.
then you must get 10.6, install it & update to 10.6.8 so you have the App Store to buy & download the huge 10.8 Installer.
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
* Mac computer with an Intel processor
* 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
* 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
* DVD drive for installation
* Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
* Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...

Buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

Okay - just realised that the last screen was just asking for a "title" for my question!
I have Adobe Acrobat XI standard, but would like to trial the "compare documents" feature on Pro. I tried to download a trial version of Pro, but the installer indicated that "it detected a more fully featured version of the product" - presumably my standard version? - and stopped installation. It is not clear to me what my options are for either upgrading to Pro, or selectively purchasing the "compare documents" plugin (if possible). I am using what is presumably an Enterprise version of acrobat (i.e. my employer owns it, not me) - so not sure what limitations that results in. I think this is a simple question, but would be grateful for advice.- You can't install Acrobat Pro alongside Acrobat Standard. You will need to remove Standard to be able to install Pro.
- You (probably) can't upgrade your license if it's a part of an enterprise license. The entire license will need to be upgraded.
- It's not possible to install just the "Compare Documents" function as a sort of add-on to Acrobat Standard. -
I have 2 different iCloud accounts and would like to delete the account where I have paid for extra iCloud data storage. Can I transfer the data storage over to my other account? I am trying to get my iCloud and Apple account with same user name.
You'll have to contact Apple about that.
Their iCloud support page indicates you cannot merge or transfer iCloud accounts.
What do you mean by, I am trying to get my iCloud and Apple account with same user name. -

I've just acquired a 2007 Mac Pro 2,1 2x 3GHz Xeon and would like to upgrade the graphics card
I've just acquired a 2007 Mac Pro 2,1 2x 3GHz Xeon and would like to upgrade the graphics card. I'd like to be able to run the Adobe CC 2014 software for 2D animation work. Don't need CUDA for any ray-traced work, just want to be able to run Ai and AE at the same time and have it handle the playback. Will this card http://www.ebay.com/itm/181466634525?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&fromMakeTrack =true be a good way to go? Or should I stick with the 4500? Or is there any other suggestion or things I should know?

I already upgraded the memory to it's max 2GB's, with (2) PNY DDR-2700 - 1G each sticks. I have also upgraded the HD from the orignial, Toshiba 60GB MK6025GAS to a WD 250GB WD2500BEVE with a fresh install of Windows XP Home.
Thanks to all that read this and respond!!!!Hi:
Welcome to the HP Consumer Support Forum.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too!
Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c00364919.pdf
Supported processors are listed in Chapter 1 on page 1-1.
Looks like you can go to the Athlon 64 4000.

Also, I changed my ID on one of the iTunes accounts on my MacBook Pro. However, when I go to download music or apps on my iPhone, the old account ID keeps popping up and i don't know how to get that to update the account ID- even after synching the phone and laptop.
i had one for a long time, then when i got the ipad i didn't realize they would all still work under one so i set up the second one on that
then when i got the new iphone i put in the info for the first and main one from my mac pro and it would not work at all, and i knew it was right, then it asked me to create a new one or i couldnt finish the setup
hence why i have 3 now
hard to believe you cannot combine into one
oh well, i will just make them all accessible for all 3
thanks -
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
You will need a USB to Sata disk holder if the PC disk is not external.
You can then plug that into the MBPr, and copy the files to the TC by wireless.. unless you also have a usb to ethernet adapter which would be great.
To read a pc drive on a Mac is no trouble.. it should work without issues.
