Satellite L450D-113 - Upgrading the processor

Hi
I have a Satellite L450D-113 and am looking to upgrade the processor to something more powerful, does anyone have any suggestions.
Harry

Hi,
I mostly play online games and have tried to play such games as age of empires 3 and assasins creed, but the processor is to slow and the games freeze at most parts. i have allready looked at the graphics and they are not a problem. I am looking to upgrade the ram and am thinking about buying another 2 gb ram card from toshiba or pcworld.
i have looked around and am thinking of buying a amd turion x2 ultra zm-84, But am not sure if this would help.

  • Satellite L450D-113 BBC iPlayer frame drop

    I have had my satellite L450D-113 since Xmas. I recently tried to play a downloaded video through the BBC's iPlayer software.
    When viewing in full screen, the picture jerks as though it is skipping frames. Am I asking too much of the machine to play at full speed in full screen.
    I am running Win7 32bit with 3GB of RAM. Screen resolution set at 1366x768 32bit. I find it hard to believe that this machine can't manage the above. Even worse trying to play an HD video.
    Thanks in advance.

    Furthermore, the frame drops occur when playing DVDs (using the Toshiba player) and the audio breaks up when playing CD. Task Manager shows that the CPU is fully occupied (100% usage) when playing audio and/or video. My original post tells that I have tried many strategies to improve performance, but nothing has worked.
    From the absence of similar observations of this kind of behavior on the Satellite forum, I guess this is not a common problem with this model of laptop so it is clear to me there must a problem with this one. I should emphasize that the machine worked well for the first couple of months.
    Any advice?

  • My Satellite L450D-113 wont start up

    Hi Guys,
    I would really appreciate some help with my laptop i have a toshiba satellite L450D-113
    I noticed it was getting slow and then when i turned it on the other day it will not load up and just says
    "DISK READ ERROR OCCURED PRESS CTR+ALT+DLT TO RESTART
    If anyone has any idea how i could get this back up and running i would appreciate it,
    i dont even mind restoring it to factory settings, as there is not a great deal of important docs that i need to save, but dont have a clue how i do it so i would need step by step explanation
    Thanks

    my sister had the same laptop that she doesnt use anymore so i swapped the hardrives it was all working fine! but obviouslly had a lot of programs and stuff on so i chose to restore it to factory settings,
    it looked as if it was working and got stuck on a white page saying "please wait finishing the installation may take several minutes. please do not interrupt or shutdown the computer!
    its been like this for a couple hours now????
    what should i do?

  • Upgrading the processor on an A215-S4747

    I've had my Satellite A215-S4747 for about two years now and I've been loving it.  Still, its age is starting to show, so I'd like to upgrade the processor.
    It's running a 1.8 GHz AMD Turion 64 x2 (TL-56).  I figure I can probably upgrade it to a 2.4 GHz TL-68, but I'd like to know what other series of processors I might be able to upgrade it to.  It's a Socket S1, and my motherboard has an ATI RS690/RS690M (REV 0) chipset and an ATI SB600 southbridge.
    Here is the CPU-Z output on my computer.
    So the question is, what series and models of processors might I be able to upgrade to?  What other AMD processor families conform to Socket S1?  Considering my chipset, would I likely be able to upgrade to a processor with a larger L2 cache and/or FSB speed?
    I'm working doing the same thing with an Intel laptop I have, and intel's ark.intel.com site is an awesome resource for researching processor compatibility.  Does anyone know if AMD has a similar site?
    I expect I'll need to update my BIOS as well.  Does anyone know where I can download the latest BIOS update for this motherboard?
    Thanks!

    Hi:
    Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.
    http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02542472.pdf
    Supported processors are listed in chapter 1 on page 1.
    I would imagine the one that offers the best improvement over your current processor would be the N930.
    Check the BIOS release notes to see if a BIOS update is needed before installing another processor.

    You could upgrade but since your in the same family processor your not gong to get any gains with the upgrade. Stick with your current processor.

  • 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:

  • Is it possible to upgrade the processor from a powerpc G4 to intel with the mac mini

  • Can you upgrade the processor in a Presario CQ62-210us

    I just bought a compaq presario cq62-210us, and I didn't realize that it had a single core celeron 900 processor, so what I was wondering is if it is possible to upgrade to a dual core processor.
    I know that it is hard to upgrade the processor on laptops, but is there a specific chip that would fit in this model? If not, then is there a simuilar model that has the same internal  configuration, that I could just switch the processor with the model I currently have?
    Thank you.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • My hp dv6700 shuts down after 1 second. i recently upgraded the processor to intel t7500.

    I recently tried to upgrade the processor of my HP dv6700. I upgraded to an Intel T7500 and after reassembling the laptop and trying to power it up, the laptop shuts down after 1 second. The computer turns on, the fan makes a brief noise, and then the machine shuts down. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. 

    Hey, did you apply thermal paste to the new CPU? It may be shutting down because none of the heat it getting blown out by the fan. The thermal paste is a conductor of heat to allow it to be transferred to the copper which will get blown out of the laptop by the fan.
    I also have a DV6700. May I ask how a motherboard melts down? I have had absolutely no problems with my laptop, and I've had it for 5-6 years.

  • 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...

    Now I feel ripped off and cheated, paying the same high price for something that isn't worth the price I paid for it.
    Where do I send my "new" (old) iPad for a replacement?
    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.

  • Is there any way to upgrade the processor speed and/or graphics card?

    i would like to upgrade the processor and/or graphics card to make gameplay faster, having problems with speed when having game open and web browser at the same time on two screens.

    is there a way to upgrade the ram on the mac mini (with disk drive) so 2009 ish, that would greatly help me?  Aside from the obvious "buy a new one".

  • What are the benefits of upgrading the processor in a Macbook Air?

    I am buying a Macbook Air 13" with 8gb of RAM and was what the benefits are of upgrading the processor from 1.8GHz Intel Dual-Core Core i5, to 2.0GHz Intel Dual-Core Core i7. I will mainly be using the computer for basic school work and some music recording with Ableton.

    Benchmarking shows that the i7 upgrade is, on average about 15% faster than the i5. For some things faster, and some slower. That's not enough to notice in day to day use, after all, today's computers are so fast they spend most of their time waiting for their protoplasmic overlords to catch up. But for some uses, that extra boost would add up - say if you spend hours each day loading large digital photo files into Photoshop. It also adds a bit extra future proofing. If you have the cash it probably isn't a bad investment. If you have to set priorities, I think the extra RAM is more important than the CPU upgrade.
