Is it possible to upgrade the processor for my HP Pavilion g6-2244sa?

Hi everyone, i'm just curious as to whether or not I can upgrade the processor in my HP Pavilion g6-2244sa. It currently has the AMD E2-1800 APU (@1.70ghz, dual core) installed. It also has 8gb DDR3 RAM.
The laptop is awesome, it has a decent graphics card and can even play Skyrim on good settings. The only problem is that the processor isn't really up to scratch and games suffer from minor lag. I was curious as to whether or not it is possible to install a different processor such as the AMD E4 (@2.5ghz, dual core). I've seen other versions of the very same laptop with that processor installed.
Thanks!

Hi,
The following manual shows a list of processors supported:

Apple just upgraded the processor for new iPad

I've just noticed that apple has upgraded the processor for the new ipad( not ipad mini)!
Now I feel like an idiot buying the new ipad when it came out...

If Apple don't honor people with the "New" iPad for a replacement with the iPad with Retina Display, then they lost me and my family for a future customers.
Nobody really cares if Apple loses you as a customer. For every one they "lose", they get 100 new ones. You will not be missed.

I have a late 2009 Macbook Unibody and was curious about upgrading the processor. I just installed 8gigs of ram and was thinking about just trying to make it really fast. I am always in Adobe CS5.5 for my job and want my computer to be as fast as I can make it. Is it possible to install a new processor and is it worth it??
Thanks

No, the processor and the video card are integrated into the logic board.

Not possible, the processor architecture is incompatible, you can only swap for other similar AMD CPUs

I have a eMac and i was wondering if its possible to upgrade the processor?

I have an eMac and it is very slow so I was looking at upgrading some of the parts. I know I can fit in new RAM but is it possible to get and install a new faster processor?

I vaguely remember there may have been one model that could be, but most are not upgradable, which exact eMac is it?
So we know more about it...

I have a CQ60-214dx laptop. I would like to upgrade the processor in it to something else.

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!

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.

Possibility of upgrading the Processor on P500-ST5801?

Would anyone know if its possible for me to upgrade the processor from its default (P7350- 2.0 Ghz) to something higher?
...I would move up to the highest processor available for this motherboard, if its possible, via an authorized service center near me.
Thanks

Your best source of information like that is the NoteBook Review Forums. They do a lot of that over there and have some very knowledgeable people that can provide you with the best information possible about it.
http://forum.notebookreview.com/forumdisplay.php?f=27
Do your homework first though. Download and run CPU-Z so you will be able to tell them specifically what CPU is in that system as well as what motherboard chipset it has. That will tell them a million times more information than telling them what model of laptop it is.
http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php
From their Intel Upgrade Guide it looks like you should have several poosibilities. The tricky part is which ones the bios will support and Toshiba isn't very forthcoming about that. Make sure that you have the latest bios when you attempt any of these.
Go to the Product Support Link at the top of this page, enter in your model, then clik on the Download Tab to find the available bios files for that model. DO NOT update the bios from within Windows. Don't do it, don't even think about doing it if you want to use your computer again. When you double click on the download you will be presented with the choice of creating a CD to flash the bios from. USE THIS METHOD. You can use a CD-RW so you don't waste a blank, but even the cost of a regular blank CD is cheap compared to the $100 that most places will charge you to fix a botched bios flash. Make sure that your battery is fully charged, installed, and the AC Adapter is plugged in just in case.

Any way to upgrade the processor?

I have a 15" aluminum PowerBook G4 with the 1.67GHz processor, and it's starting to show its age. Programs are running more slowly, and I can't do a lot with video editing/playing (which I would like to be able to do). It's been a great laptop and I really want to get as much use out of it as possible (especially considering the prices of the new MacBooks). I've maxed out the ram and am replacing the hard drive, but would really be interested in upgrading the processor...if that was possible (and worth the money).
I read that Daystar Technology used to offer processor upgrades for the PowerBook G4s, and they seemed to get pretty good reviews. However, it looks like those upgrades were discontinued awhile ago. Would a processor upgrade even be worth the money? If so...is there any way to procure an upgrade?
Thank you!
Sarah
<Post Relocated by Host>

Sarah, I question why your PB is running more slowly. Granted, I don't run Leopard on my 1.33 GHz PB but movie editing is sufficiently swift with Tiger, as is everything else. If your HD is getting low on breathing room that might explain your slowness.
I'm with Brody. Newer hard disk drives are faster and far less expensive than they were when your PB was built, so get the biggest one your wallet can handle. I would definitely avoid attempting to upgrade the CPU. Other system limitations would make your return on that investment unattractive.
Upgrades are worthwhile only to a point. More RAM and HD space are always better, but I consider Tiger to be the optimal OS for my G4 Powerbooks even though they meet the requirements for 10.5. Even my 500 MHz G3 iMac runs Tiger acceptably fast. Ultimately, it's the desire to run more capable applications (like iLife 09) that renders older systems functionally obsolete. If you find that Leopard runs too slowly on your PB, might you consider moving back to Tiger?

Is it possible to upgrade the 10.5.8 OS on a MacBook Pro with a 2.4 GHz/Intel Core 2 Duo with 2 GB of RAm to the latest OS?

Is it possible to upgrade the 10.5.8 OS on a MacBook Pro with a 2.4 GHz/Intel Core 2 Duo with 2 GB of RAm to the latest OS?

The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Tech Specs
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Other countries...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...
Next... Check that your Mac meets the Requirements for Mountain Lion.
Upgrade to Mountain Lion
With Regard to ML... Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using... Also note that Rosetta is no longer supported in Lion and Mountain Lion...
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
You should also consider more RAM... Get the Maximum you can for your Mac...
It is important to get the Correct and Matching RAM
See Here > OWC RAM > http://www.macsales.com
The above site also has videos on how to Install RAM should you need it...

Qosmio E10: Is it possible to upgrade the graphic adapter?

Hello there,
I have a question regarding a Qosimio E10. Is it possible to upgrade the graphics Adapter to a more recent one. (Now : Geforce FX 5200 Go 64 Mb) Because the one i use now is ot of date and I dont want to buy a new notebook just because of a Graphics Card !
Thanks for your help
Marco

Hi
No, its not possible because the graphic card is a little small chip which was fixed on the mainboard. The graphic card design is not the same like on the PC desktop.

Is it possible to upgrade the motherboard/graphics in my dv7-4177nr?

When I first bought this laptop it had decent, not great, performance in regards to video game graphics capabilities. Requirements for video games are constantly evolving and my graphics card is no longer sufficient for new games. I was wondering if it is at all possible to upgrade the integrated graphics (ATI Radeon HD 5470, I believe) of my dv7-4177nr by purchasing a new motherboard. If so, what are some model numbers of compatible motherboards? I would really like to avoid the purchase of a new PC/laptop as this one is only about 1.5 years old I think.
Thanks!

Yes it is.... I own a dv7-4177nr myself and talked at length with HP... if you can find the right motherboard (oem) and don't mind doing the work yourself it is doable. Keep in mind you have to swap out the motherboard (mobo) with another because the gpu and sundry is built into the mobo and not detachable like a desktop setup. Also if all you want is a gpu upgrade and are lucky enough to have a PCI card slot there are several options that you can upgrade your gpu to a desktop gpu which eliminates the need to swap motherboards and just run a graphics card (gpu) for gaming or streaming purposes...

Is it possible to upgrade the graphics card on a mid 2012 MacBook Pro? And is it possible to upgrade the RAM without voiding the warranty?

Hi I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade the graphics card on a MacBook Pro and the RAM without voiding the warranty? I have a gt 650m in my MacBook Pro, non retina, and to me, its not enough power for me, so i was looking around, and I found a retailer that would give me a nvidia gtx 660m for a decent price. Also, the ram needs to be at least 12gbs, to ensure that my computer would run fast.
If you can help, please tell me,
Thankyou.

No, the video card cannot be exchanged - you have a pretty decent GPU there; not sure why you'd want to switch it out. You can upgrade the RAM to a maximum of 16GBs. Apple recommends upgrading in matching pairs, so I don't really think I'd try 4GB and 8GB stick.
Both Crucial and OWC have memory available for the new Macs. Both are reputable dealers and know Macs well and I would only buy from these sources (and I would buy Crucial, were it me).
Although your Mac didn't come with a users manual outlining the installation of the additional RAM, you can download the late 2011 model users guide as the models themselves are almost identical.
Good luck - write back with any questions.
