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 there anyway to increase the number of minutes to your plan without changing the rest of your plan?

    Is there any way to increase the number of anytime minutes for your plan without changing the rest of your plan?

        CBaker13,
    An important question. Most calling plans established by Verizon Wireless are designed to cover calling plan minutes as part of your calling plan rather than a separate feature. You can generally keep most other features if you change your calling plan if that is what you are concerned about.
    Maybe I can provide a better answer with some details and make a recommendation to you. Could you advise us what calling plan you currently have? What specific concerns do you have regarding what features you might lose?

  • Is there anyway to increase the N70 voice???

    Hi there,
    I want to ask if there is anyway in which I can boost the voice of he N70 in Media Player and Visual Radio. Also, is there anyway that I can record from the Radio???
    Thanks in advance,
    Sam

    in many countries (for instance the UK) it is illegal to record the radio as we havent purchased the music to do so.
    as for it being to quiet, what headset are you using? I have used nokia phones before in the past for this and found them quite good apart from the 3250 which was quiet. the soloution to this was to change the headphones, then everything was fine

    Aside from turning auto-calculation off, you would need to copy the cells and paste them as values to get a static worksheet. This will eliminate any future refreshes.

  • Is there anyway or increasing the maximum ram capacity on a macbook a1181?

    Looking to upgrade some ram, but more than only 2GB, any help?

    The A1181 simply means it's one of 17 models of MacBook with a plastic case and a removable battery. Check out http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords=A1181
    Each MacBook has a Model Number like 2,1, 3,1 etc... To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier.
    OWC lists the maximum RAM for each model on this page. http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/MacBook/DDR2/

  • Is there anyway to upgrade the processor and/or the graphics card on the mid 2011 21.5" iMac?

    I am a gamer and I am always looking for my games to run as smooth as possible. I feel that if I step it up a notch it would do much good for my computers performance with gaming. I could be wrong.
    Specs:
    Processor: 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 Quad core
    Memory: 8GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6750M 512 MB
    Is there anything I can upgrade that will improve my computers performance on the games I play?
    Thanks

    RRFS,
    I couldn't agree with you more.
    iMacs are all in one computers with very little user upgradability.
    iMacs, in particular, are not tinkering computers. The are not PC towers, at all!
    To many things meticulously crammed into avery confined enclosure.
    iMacs only come in pre-defined configurations from Apple or you can, iniitially, custom order an iMac with whatever available components Apple presents as custom upgrade options.
    Plus I doubt your parents would allow you to pry into a two month old Mac and void the one year and subsequent upgrade of the AppleCare warranty.
    And if you tried and screwed something up in the take down/re-assembly process, you not only be screwed with AppleCare service, youor your parents would have to pay Apple's very expensive repair services out of pocket.
    By the way, if your parents or you do know, you can extend out AppleCare for another two years after the initial warranty period. I would strongly advise getting the extended warranty plan when the time comes.
    Sorry for the bad news.

  • Is there anyway to record the time of a signature on a document?

    I work in real estate and timely signatures are very important. Is there anyway to show the time a document was signed on the actual document?

    Hi Scott,
    Yes, this is quite possible using the text-tagging feature in Echosign. A sample of this text-tagging code would be the following for a signature block along with the date and the time:
    {{Sig1_es_:signer1:signature}}
    {{Date_es_:signer1:date}}
    {{Time_es_:signer1:calc(now()):format(Date,”hh:nn:ss tt”)}}
    So, in the instance where it shows the {{Time}} block, the calculation would be broken down as follows:
    {{Time_es_:signer1:calc(now()):format(Date,"hh:nn:ss tt")}}
    "calc" tells the app to calculate, "now" returns the date and time when the signature is signed. Along with the Date, you also get the hours(hh), minutes (nn), and seconds (ss). The "tt" at the end designates the AM or PM status whereas if you wanted to use Military or 24-hour time, you'd drop the "tt" and simply use "HH" in place of the "hh".
    I hope this answers the question for you and if there are any other questions in follow-up to this, feel free to ask!
    Also, for additional information on text-tagging, feel free to check this link.
    ODG.

  • Is there anyway to change the amount of Wireless B...

    I think I know what the answer is but here goes:-
    Is there anyway to change the amount of Wireless Bandwidth given to a certain device from the HH3??
    The reason why I ask is, that I have a number of devices that connect to my wireless connection and for some reason my Apple TV only connects at 65Mbps thus making it virtually impossible to stream videos to it. (videos are choppy on it)
    When I look in the 'Home Network' section on the HH3, it shows that my Apple TV has connected at 65 Mbps - the device has a 'N' network adaptor built-in, so in theory it should connect at a faster speed.
    Is there anyway that I can increase the connection speed for this device - my laptop connects at 144 Mbps....

    Hi there,
    First off, what I would suggest is that you download either inssider 2 if you're on a PC or istumbler if you're using a Mac and check for other wireless networks around you that could be causing interference and change to a less congested channel, if need be.
    If the above doesn't help, then I'd suggest that you look into replacing your router with another one, which has QOS such as the Netgear WNDR3700 which has Dual band (2.4GHz and 5GHz 802.11n) so that you can prioritise bandwidth for your different pieces of kit.
    I Hope this info helps.

  • Is there anyway to disable the chime when I accidentally catch the microphone icon while texting (phone is in silent mode)

    Hi all,
    I might be being a little dull here, but my question is exacly as in the title: Is there anyway to disable the chime when I accidentally catch the microphone icon while texting (phone is in silent mode)?  I have fat fingers occasionally and whilst people at work don't mind private phone usage to have it occasionally activating the mic and then me cancelling it a little annoying.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Dave

    There is a proximity sensor that should turn the screen off when you place the phone near your face.  Do you have a case that's blocking this?  Try removing your case.  If no case, try restoring you iPhone.  If still a problem, return it to Apple for a warranty replacement.
