Increase processor speed?

Is it possible to increase/change the processor speed? I have a Z61m 9450 38U. I believe it's T2300E(1.66GHz).
Thanks!
Ian

Just to add to ajkula66s post, the processor must be socket M. Also, the max FSB that the chipset can support is 667MHz. Here are some of your options...
Core Duo T2300, 2450, 2500, 2600, 2700
Core 2 Duo T5500, T5600, T7200, T7400, T7600
Saying that T7XXX series will work is partitally true. The following T7XXX series will not work as they are socket P...
Core 2 Duo T7100, T7300, T7500, T7700

How to increase Processor Speed

I have a iMac Intel Core Duo 17'' and it has 512 MB RAM, and the BUS Speed is 667Mhz. I recently bought an M-Box from Digidesign which is for music, and when i plugged it in, it said there wasn't enough power to run the mbox. I looked at the specs and it says that i must have a G4 Processor with 933 Mhz or higher and Mac OsS X Version 10.3.9 or 10.4. I want to know how i can increase my computer to run this product and how much it would cost. Can you people please help me?

If you mean that an error was displayed on your screen saying that there was not enough power, then where did you plug this device in?
Did you plug it directly into the USB ports on the back of your computer?
The USB ports on the keyboard and on the back of other devices are usually provide less electrical power.
If you are getting this error message even when it is plugged-into the USB ports on the back of your computer (directly into those ports), then you may need to see if there is a power adapter for your M-Box.
It may come with it's own power supply, or require you to purchase one. If so, that power supply would plug directly into the M-Box.
As for the specifications / system requirements, you already exceed what is printed on the box.
But, you are running an Intel system. So, you'll want to make sure that the software and device are able to work with an Intel Mac. The specifications you list are assuming that you are using an older PowerPC Mac (the previous generation of processors).
Most PowerPC software will run properly on an Intel Mac. But, some programs and devices do not.
I don't see a device listed as M-Box listed as one of their current products. So, I didn't see exactly what you are working with or trying to get working.
But, you should check to make sure that it is compatible with the newer Intel-based Macs.
I hope this helps.

Stupid question, is there anyway to increase the processor speed?

i have been using my computer since november 2000, then i decided to get an ipod touch and so i had to install usb 2.0, a new HD, and some additional SDRAM. I know that conventionally there are limits to the amount of SDRAM that will get recognized, and stuff, but is there any way to increase the processor speed aka the MHZ of my computer that would be easier and more cost effective than just buying a new one?

In addition to Tom's good advice, there's a chap on eBay who modifies CPUs for AGP models who goes by the eBay name of 'ijnuhb'. I've never used any of his mods, but he's been around a while and I've corresponded with him. Seems reliable.

I don't always have luck with links, but here's a go at it.

Is Nokia 603 processor speed increased with Nokia ...

Hello, I did the Nokia Belle FP1 update for my Nokia 603 phone. So far it seems ok, good improvements here and there. What I am wondering is whether the processor speed of 603 got increased from 1.0 GHz to 1.3 GHz like Nokia 700 and 701 phones.

Yes,processor speed increased from 1 Ghz to 1.3 Ghz
Though Nokia mentioned before the update that it will not get increase in processor speed.

Limiting processor speed to increase battery life.

Does anyone know of a way to limit the processor speed to increase battery life while on battery? I know of some windows utilities that will allow you to scale back the processor, to say, 1 ghz or so, so as to get better battery life. Is there any way to do this with a macbook?
Thanks,
Zach

Try CoolBook Controller out. It should do what you want.

New MacBook Air vs previous version- processor speed?

I was going to exchange my < 2wk old MacBook Air for the newer version. the new one has better battery life but it looks like smaller processor? 1.3 GHz vs the 1.8 that I have. How much difference is this?

500HMz is actually a pretty big difference... especially in this range. Depending on your use though, it's entirely possible you would never notice. Besides improved battery life, the new Air also has significantly better graphics performance (about a 40% increase). What do you typically use your MacBook Air for? If you use processor intensive applications, you may want to stay with your current model. If you do things that involve graphics, the newer model might be a better option.
Basically... you might have one car that can go 200 miles per hour... and one that can go 150 miles per hour. But maybe you only ever need to go up to 70 miles per hour. Basically, they would both meet your needs as you'll never need the full power of either. That's how you can look at the difference in the processor performance. Just because one is lower, doesn't mean it will perform differently in your daily tasks.
I personally would probably go with the newer model (especially since you're still within the 2 week return period). The boost in graphics performance and the reduced energy use would outweigh the difference in processor speeds.

Variable Processor Speed

All
Was wondering if there is a way to change the processor speed or if it has something to do with how you change the batter settings. Ie performance vs battery life. Im running duo core temp and it shows that im running at 1.5GHz and not 2.0. I have a MB Black 2.0 512MB Ram (2GB in the mail)
Thanks

There have been a lot of discussions about memory allocation in the past, but briefly I touch on a few points. When an array is preallocated (initialized) to be a certain size LabVIEW is then able at compile time to set aside a certain amount of memory for that array. Then, if you are using the "replace array element" function within your loop the array isn't growing, just the values are being changed. If you are building the array in the loop, by appending to the existing array for instance, LabVIEW will continuously have to try and allocate memory space to the increasingly bigger array, sometimes having to move it to a whole new memory area. Additionally, and there are discussions of this in the other threads, if you branch the wires to different functions in the loop, LabVIEW will create copies of the initial array, compounding the whole problem, greatly effecting the execution speed, etc. There have been a lot of discussions about the effects of using the various types of variables (e.g. locals and globals) and other efficiency impacts, for instance having an array of double connected to an indicator of single (or any other type mismatch) which is another thing that creates a copy of the data in memory. You can see that it wouldn't take too many of these to start having an impact on your programs speed. Do a search on this forum for memory usage, memory allocation, efficiency, etc. and you will see some of these discussions. One of the "nuggets" which initially deals with "Action Engines" discusses some of the causes and effects. When you do search, check the date stamps, some of these might be a little old.

Looking to buy new MacBook Pro for editing with Premiere/After Effects, but wondering about trade-off between Processor Speed and Graphics Card

I'm a professional video editor (using Premiere and After Effects) looking to buy a new MacBook Pro and am deciding between two models. The slightly older model has a 2.8GHZ i7 (3rd generation) Quad Core processor with a 1GB SDRAM of NVIDIA GE FORCE GT 650M Graphics Card. Then newer model has a 2.3GHZ i7 (4th generation) Quad Core preocessor with 2GB SDRAM of NVIDIA GE FORCE 750M/Intel Iris Pro Graphics Card.
Which makes the most difference (processor speed vs. graphics card) with editing with Premiere and After Effects?
Any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

1. Your MBP will be somewhat slower than your iMac, as reflected in the general speed; desktop Macs have more RAM and storage.
You recon? If he get's the 17", he would have up to 8x more RAM, 4 x more GPU,, and a bit faster CPU;.
2. Be aware of the advantages and disadvantages of extra RAM. Loading up the slot will make juggling multiple applications easier, like Photoshop, VLC, and Safari. However, more than 4gigs of RAM will make loading your MBP on startup twice as slow - at least a minute, probably longer. That's why a MBP user with extra RAM should sleep their machine nearly always when not in use, rather than powering off.
I did not know this, I just upgraded from 4gb to 8gb the other day. Have not noticed it being slower, but I don't often shut it down. It's nice to not even have to bother with ifreemem.
3. Additional storage and RAM will maximize the basic capabilities of your MBP, but you won't be able to make a 2.3ghz machine any faster than it already is.
SSD
4. I still feel that your iMac will be faster than your prospective MBP. The only way to dramatically increase the speed would be the installation of a SSD drive (like the lauded OWC series). But they're not cheap.
I don't want to rain on your parade, but want you to get a more realistic idea of your performance.
I chose a macbook pro, 17" of cause. I use it for gaming. Yes a iMac is better for gaming. But, it's nice to be able to move around. Set up a man cave in the lounge 1 week, or in the bedroom, the next. But you fork out a lot more dosh for that luxury. And yes, not as much power as Poikkeus has said.

Update RAM or HDD to increase tether speed?

Hi, I have a 2011 Macbook Pro running Lion 10.7.5 that I use to tether a stills camera. The files are very big and I have started to notice a significant slow down in capture speed. I am looking for some advice on what I could or should upgrade in the laptop. I already have the fastest processor that the laptop can handle, I have 8GB of DDR3 RAM that I could upgrade to a max of 16GB, and an internal Toshiba HDD that runs at 5,400RPM which I could replace with a faster drive. The question is, what would likely be the most significant upgrade for me to increase data speed, the RAM or the HDD? Or both? Thanks.

Yes, capture speed is referring to how long it takes for the image to get from the camera onto the HDD. I realize there are other factors, such as the type of transfer being used (USB, Thunderbolt etc.) but I'm using the best available to me for now. So upgrading the RAM or HDD is my only option. The files are about 70MB each which doesn't sound big but there's a lot of processing involved and the speed that I shoot is a factor also. I'll try shooting with Activity Monitor open, that is a great idea thanks.
I was looking at SSD's, I was wondering if shooting to a Thunderbolt external SSD would work or if the images would still get slowed down because I would still have to be going through the laptop to access the SSD. I can't shoot directly to an external drive because I need to also be able to see the images on the laptop as they come in, so it needs to be plugged into the laptop. Getting an internal SSD would be tricky because unless I spend a fortune I'd have to downgrade the amount of GBs I'd have since most SSD's are only 250-500GB and I currently have 750GB of regular disc space. Or would a regular 7,200RPM drive be a big enough upgrade from a 5,400RPM?

Parameters to increase Scheduling speed

Hi ,
I have a project with almost 500 Activities and i am updating the actuals. When i schedule every time(using F9) it takes very long time to schedule before i update the next activity.
Just i am looking 1. How to increase the scheduling speed?
2. Which parameters(Hardware or Software) control the Scheduling speed (For example RAM, Processor Speed / Operating system Etc.,)
3. Can i increase scheduling speed by changing any of them in item 2.
Appreciate your advise,
Regards,
Imad

Your hardware specs are woefully slow. I would look at upgrading your machine.
Scheduling slowdowns can be caused by P6 itself and normally I look the software setup first. In your case the processor/RAM may be the bottle neck. P6 runs fine on XP and a local install running SQL should be very quick.
P6 6.0 did have some issues that would cause a schedule to lock up or take a long time to schedule. You may also look into upgrading to a newer version.

Since updating my IPAD 4 to IOS 7 my wifi seems to be running slower. At the same time it seems to be using less power. I wonder if Apple have tweaked the processor speed or something. Any ideas?

Since running IOS 7 on my IPAD 4 I have noticed that safari or Google APP are running slower. When loading data there is a noticeable delay in the 'bar' running across the screen. The IPAD also seems to be lasting longer between charges. I wonder if Apple have tweaked how the processor is being used for wifi.

Same issue on my 9 month old IPad4. Turned of all the new fancy additions but no real increase in speed.
One thing I noticed when I installed IOS7 was that my free space Immediated jumped from 17Gb on IOS6 to 18.5Gb.
I then noticed the much slower performance. On IOS6 my pad performed so quickly it often brought a smile to my face, now I'm watching and waiting while it staggers along loading a page(. Fibre Broadband 45mb/sec so no hold up there and this on my usual browsing sites so it's not their servers ) .
I'm wondering whether Apple have increased the compression of the system files, so they take longer to unpack - or is am I clutching at straws. Anyone else notice extra space after update.

Any possibility of increasing fan speed on dv5 1045tx

I want to increase the fan speed because my dv5 1045tx gets too hot. On idle my cpu ranges from 45Cto 55C and my gpu stays at about 60C. When I play any game(like cod4 on highest and lowest graphics settings) my laptop's gpu goes up to 91C to 98C and cpu going to about 80C to 90C. Old games like prince of persia warrior within bring my cpu up to 95C to 98C. Without being able to increase fan speeds, I lost my freedom of playing games. Can someone please help?
Used speedfan to check temps

Many times a laptop overheating is directly related to the cooling of the processor. The main culprit is the fan. The fan sucks in air from the bottom and blows it out the side. It will also suck in hair, dust, and other debris. That stuff often gets trapped by the heat sink and over time builds up in a layer which chokes off the cool air going to the processor making the fan work harder.
Check this out:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01657439&tmp_track_link=ot_faqs/top_issues/en_u...
What I recommend is getting some canned air and blowing out the vents in the side and bottom of the laptop. If after doing this you still have problems with over-heating, and your laptop is in warranty, you can take your laptop to a HP Authorized Service Center and ask them to clean the fan and heatsink. You can check your warranty here:
http://www13.itrc.hp.com/service/ewarranty/warrantyResults.do?admit=109447627+1286541891570+28353475
If it is out of warranty, consider searching for the maintenance manual for your specific model, in the manual there are schematics for taking apart the laptop. Cleaning the fan is much easier that removing a motherboard, so don't feel to intimidated by the idea. Also you can remove the heatsink and then remove the thermal grease and apply a new layer which also helps alleviate heat related issues.

Kt3 Ultra-aru Processor Speeds?

Hi There,
I'm running the MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU (MS-6380E v1.X) with an AMD Athlon XP 2000, I was just wondering what Athlon XP processor speeds this supports upto, and if possible what changes I might need to make to the Bios, Would I need to flash my board with a new Bios or just go into my Bios and change some settings.
Thanks for any help, just trying to get ready for Doom 3 and Halflife 2 if they ever appear
Cheers,
Paul.

But there is no guaranty, that a FSB333 AthlonXP will work. The largest CPU that is allowed from MSI is a 2600+ FSB266.
But the chance is pretty high, that a FSB333 Athlon will work, though. It did so on mine KT3 Ultra.

Whats the best option to increase the speed on my mid 2010 macbook pro?

What choices are there for me to increase the speed of my computer ?

More RAM and a SSD. If you're running under 8GB of RAM, I would recommend upgrading to 8GB. You can check out Crucial or OWC for the correct RAM configuration for your model.
While you're at Crucial, I would also look at the available SSDs that would fit your machine - just use the System Scanner tab, and it will show you the recommended upgrades.
RAM and SSDs are about the only things you can upgrade to make your computer faster.
If you're new to SSDs, see my user tip here -> https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4741.
Good luck,
Clinton

Amount of RAM useful limited to processor speed?

I have heard that at a certain point the amount of RAM you throw in your computer won't help past a certain processor speed. If this is true, is there a chart out there that will show these limits?
Or if anyone has any opinions as far as a:
Dual 2.7Ghz (G5)
Dual 1.8Ghz (G5)
Dual 800Mhz (G4)
all PowerPC
thanks,
T

Without a list of applications, you could be starving your apps, especially if they need to be open and active. If you work on large photoshop files and not smallish, it is impossible almost to have too much (and you would need a PCIe G5 to get 10-12GB RAM).
Check page-out; number of swap files; whether you are generating swap files.
just scanning and retouching can eat up 2GB RAM.
OS X uses free memory to cache windows, disk I/O, and those won't show up looking at Activity Monitor.
Virtual memory can be 'requested' or 'allocated' but not used, too.
I saw people with 512-768MB be shocked at what a difference even light use (email, web, writing, etc) it was to upgrade their G5 to 1.5GB RAM. There are also programming changes that go into a G5 that are totally different from G4s.
But it has nothing to do with cpu, front side bus.
And no matter what, a nice fast 10K Raptor boot drive always helps
