Possible to speed up processor?

At the moment I cannot afford to buy a new gaming pc, and I am playing RIFT. At lowest setting it is running good except about every 10 min the game lags out for a few minutes, can almost set your watch buy it. Granted my comp is a bit old and outdated somewhat but it works for now. One solution that has been suggested is to try and speed up my processor. Here are my comps stats:
Windows 7 proffesional 64 bit
HP-Pavillion
AMD Phenom (tm) 9750 Quad Core 2.4ghz
8192 mb ram
Nvidia GeForce 9100
Would it be possible to speed up my processor to around 3 ghz? This is going beyond what i know about computers so any suggestion/directions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Again not knowing too much about this, are there only certain graphic cards that I could upgrade too that my computer can handle? Thanks for the info/help.
To answer the thread's original question: HP PCs have BIOS limitations that prevent overclocking. So your CPU can't be "speeded up".
Upgrading to most "Gaming" cards would mean that you would have to also upgrade your PSU.
This is a link to your PC support web page. Your PC's specifications. Your motherboard's specs
Your motherboard has one PCIe x16 slot available for a graphics card. It also has three PCIe x1 slots. They have low bandwidth and as such are not generally considered worthwhile to use for graphics card upgrades.
Your PSU is only 300W and therein the limitation. (most beasty video cards require a PC to have a PSU of at least 450 Watts)
There are cards by ATI and AMD that will enable you to play the games at far better specs than the onboard is limiting you to and not require a ($50.00 and higher ) PSU upgrade.

Speed of processor is being limited by system firmware after BIOS update

Hello,
I have updated the BIOS of my G510 to the latest version, which is 3.09. But after this update, I have noticed "The speed of processor is being limited by system firmware" entries at the Windows System event log. They are like that:
"The speed of processor 0 in group 0 is being limited by system firmware. The processor has been in this reduced performance state for 5 seconds since the last report."
I'm getting this message for all the cores, from 0 to 3.
Why is this happening? And what can I do, should I downgrade the BIOS to the previous version?
Thanks

Hello pka4916,
You’re having a problem with the speed of your processor.
Do a hard reset.
Turn the computer off.
Remove the power cable and the battery.
Hold down the power button for 15 sec while booth power sources are removed.
This should reset the hardware in the computer.
As you turn it back on tap the F10 key. This will load BIOS setup utility.
Press F9 to load defaults.
Press F10 to save and exit.
When the computer boots back up, check to see if everything is working.
If the problem is still not fixed Try to roll back you BIOS to a version that was working correctly.
Here is a link that will walk you through the steps.
Let me know how everything goes.
Have a good day.

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...

Is it possible to switch my processor from one laptop to another

i have 2 laptops, both are toshiba's, my old laptop runs better than the one i got for christmas becuase of the processor, my new laptop runs slow becuase the processor is a single core with 1 GHz my old one is dual-core 2.00 GHz, i want to switch them, they are both AMD so i am wondering if it would be possible to switch them
Here are the processors specs:
Old one:
AMD Athlon(tm) X2 Dual-Core QL-62 2.00 GHz
New one:
AMD C-50 Processor 1.00 GHz
so please, is it possible to switch them, and how would i go about switching them if possible.
thanks,

It sounds like a good idea, but it is a total non-starter. Sure, both CPUs are from AMD, but they have different packaging, different voltages, different Level 2 cashe, different thermal outputs and the connectors are different too. All of the circuitry around the 1 Ghz CPU was designed to handle that speed of CPU. If it could be done, you'd overclock the existing circuitry and burn out the system board.
Unlike a desktop computer that you can put in a new system board, CPU and video board, a laptop is pretty limited on what can be done as an upgrade. Your best option would be to find a computer that has the CPU that you'd want and buy it.

Anyone guys to tell me about this subject?
Hello once more,I really gave it a though and I decided:
The OS will be Windows XP x64 bit so I can use CS5 / Or Mac...
MAIN USES:
-After Effects:It's already 3 years that I use Adobe After Effects and I really want to go to Pro with it.
I want to be able to add HD FX in HD Videos with many layers,and maybe to long movies.
-Photoshop:I am still a beginner with it,But sure in the future I want to learn some hard things.
-Of course Be able to surf on the internet.
SECONDARY USES:
-Playing the New Games:Like Call of Duty
Thats the thing I am doing with my current PC and I am pretty sure ill be doing with the new one...
AAE and PS are the programs I use the most.
So that's my list,if you think you get what I want,please write back
And again,Thanks for everything.

What Machine to buy so it can do the above things?I can afford around 2700$ / 2000 Euros
2000 Euros won't buy you a Mac Pro, although you could buy a 27" iMac.
You can buy a pretty decent Windows machine for that price. There are so many variables it's impossible to give you specifics, but here's a basic guide:
Buy the best CPU you can afford. Faster CPUs give you better overall performance. Multiple CPU cores make rendering and previewing faster.
You need 2GB of RAM for each CPU core, and a bit extra. So, if you buy a dual Quad core machine, giving you 8 cores, you would be wise to have 16-24GB of RAM. If you buy a single Quad core machine, with 4 cores, you need 8-16GB of RAM.
You need lots of fast hard drive space to work with HD video, so buy as much as you can afford. Avoid "green" drives and other 5400RPM drives, which can slow down your workflow. If you can afford it, buy two drives - one for your system files, and one for media storage.
The display card is not so important in After Effects - any midrange card will do the job nicely - but because you want to play "new games", you may want a display card with a bit more power.

Is it possible to speed up (not eliminate) Lion iCal animations?

I want to speed up the month-to-month and year-to-year "page flip" animations in Mac OS X Lion's iCal. I do not want to eliminate the animation completely (by holding down the option key while selecting "Next Page" or "Previous Page" from the View menu, or by installing iCal Classic Page Flip).
Like all Mac OS X animations, I want to preserve this feature but also make it faster. These animations help my brain process that a transition is being made. However, half a second is too long to wait. At the other extreme, the absence of a transition yields a long wait: it takes my brain about two seconds to recognize that a change has been made to my screen and eyesight re-adjusted to it.
So, what .plist or other file controls the iCal page flip animation? If it's in com.apple.ical.plist, then it's not clearly labeled.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

I wasn't really referring to controlling the amount of CPU each application might use.
What I meant was : If I have 2 MacBook Pros each with Intel Core 2 Duo 2,53GHz Processors, could I, by linking the computers using FW800, essentially create a virtual Quad Core 2.53GHz, thus reducing my export times in iMovie by a factor of nearly 2 (there will be lag)?
This would mean I wouldn't have to buy Turbo.264 HD, meaning that the quality of the output would be the best it could be.
Any suggestions?

Is it possible to speed up a 1 mhz Processer?

Hello,
I have a Satellite C655D-S5200 laptop. Is it possible to upgrade or replace the factory processor ? I like my laptop but I would like to be able to play Minecraft without the game freezing. I would like to download movies and burn to a DVD.
Any suggestions?
Thanks ecurb

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,

I have a late 2009 macbook and was curious if it is possible to upgrade the processor and if its worth it??

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.
