T61p, 6440--6xg // l3 A0411 processor T7500 2.2g upgrade

I'd like to know if it is possible to upgrade the processor from a t7500 to a t9xxx processor type on this type of computer ?

yes once you installed the middleton's modified bios, however that will remove overheating shutdown protection. So if your laptop overheats you computer won't automatically shutdown to prevent damages.

Thanks for the quickly reply, we recently installed a NVIDIA Quadro K4200.

We have a Dell Precision T7500 with 2 x Intel Xeon E5645 2.40GHz
The computer is being used for CAD work and rendering, the user complains the computer is slow which it is compared to the rest of the computers in our studio. I've been told I can't replace it yet but can upgrade it.
I was wondering what would be the best CPU upgrade to do for CAD work?
Have run CPUID and can see it has Socket 1366 LGA, I'm unsure sure if I should be looking at an E or X series processor though.
Other upgrades I'm planning to do to the computer.
Have set aside a Samsung 850 Pro SSD we have spare to rebuild the OS onto.
Going to remove mismatched RAM modules and install 2 x Crucial 16GB DDR3 PC3-12800 Registered ECC 1.35V 2048Meg x 72

Processor and graphics card upgrade for hp dc5100 MT(EF633US)

Can someone kindly tell me a variety of Intel processors and graphic cards which i can install in my pc coz right now i'm using Intel pentium 4 CPU 2.80 GHz and Intel 82915G/GV/910GL express chipset. but i would like to upgrade to a faster processor and a graphics card which can play games which require large graphic memory (eg FIFA 2013,GTA 5.etc)

Hi:
Personally, I wouldn't invest the money to upgrade that PC.
You would be better off getting an off lease newer dc5800 MT or dc7800/dc7900 model that has a PCIe x16 video slot.
The killer for your model is you can only install a PCI graphics card.
Very inefficient and pretty expensive for what you get in return.
After you install the required microcode update, the best processor I know for sure you can install would be the P4 650.
Below is the link to the quickspecs. The supported processors are listed on page 7.
I do not know of anyone who that has installed the 651 or 661 processors and got them to work--even though the specs state they are supported.
You can try the 651 or 661 and if you do, please let me know if they worked for you.

Processor and Graphics Card Upgrade For HP ProBook 4445s

Hey guys,
I wanted to ask that I have a HP4445s with the A6 4400m processor and don't find it enough to play games.
The processor is a little bit slow and the graphics are kind of horrible for a gamer.
I feel like upgrading to a new processor.
The one that I found nice is the
AMD FD8350FRHKBOX FX-8350 FX-Series 8-Core Black Edition Processor
I just wanted to ask whether I could upgrade to this.
I also wanted to find out that it says that there are no integrated graphics, so does that mean I will have to purchase a new graphic card?
Thanks,
Please reply!
This question was solved.

That is a desktop processor and will not fit in any laptop. Right now some of the HP Support pages are down but I believe you can install an A10 AMD CPU which would improve the graphics just a little. There is no graphics "card" as you might be thinking of. It is a flat motherboard inside the laptop case with all the chips including video soldered on that board. The video comes from within the processor working with helping chips on the motherboard. An A10 processor provides slightly better graphics but nothing that will increase the gaming potential very much. That is a business laptop for doing Powerpoints and Spreadsheets and maybe watching a youtube video or playing a DVD. It is not a gamer. HP now makes the Omen laptop at about $1500 which would handle most high end games.

I have a G5 Power Mac with dual 1.8 processors. I recently upgraded the software fro 10.4.11 to 10.5.8 in order to get an iPad 2. Now my Adobe Photoshop 7 won't work any longer. All the newer Phtoshop versions only work with Intell processors. Does anyone

..know of an older Photoshop version that will work with my processors and system 10.5.8?
Thanks,
Don

I believe I had this issue with PS7 when I first upgraded from OS 9 to OS X 10.2 Jaguar.
Couldn't get PS 7 to launch at all.
I ended up having to update all of my Adobe apps to the CS edition to be sure every Adobe app functioned without a hitch.
I am not sure where you'll find older versions of Adobe software, though.
You could try and contact Adobe direct to see if they have any older versions on disc left in stock or not.
Short or that I really do not know.
PS CS 4 was the last universal version that works with PPC Macs.
Pixelmator used to be available for 10.5 Leopard, but it's no longer available for PPC Macs, either.
http://www.pixelmator.com/
Could contact them to see if they have the older version still available on disc or as a download.
This is a pay app, also.
Another pay app that may work for you is Graphic Converter.
http://www.lemkesoft.com/
The other options are the ones already mentioned in the previous reply.
Other than Pixelmator, the other offerings are quite limited compared to PS.
Here's the link to Seashore.
http://seashore.sourceforge.net/The_Seashore_Project/About.html
A free open source Unix replacement for PS is The Gimp
http://www.gimp.org/macintosh/
You need to install X11 in order to use this app.
If you installed 10.5, you'll need to check your Applications folder to see if X11 was installed by default.
If not you'll need to go back to your OS X 10.5 install discs and do a custom install and just install X11 from disc.
This will just add the additional program and extensions and will not erase your installation of OS X 10.5.

Can the intel core 2 duo processor be changed and upgraded to 2.5 ghz

can the processing chips be upgraded on the imac 1.7ghz model??

You can't upgrade processors or video cards on Mac's (MacPro if you can find one that is)
Only the RAM and in some machines the hard drive, that's it.

My mac pro is not a duo processor so i cannot upgrade to LION and that means now with icloud i cannot receive email unless i go directly to icloud website to get it. i cannot afford to buy a new laptop, does that mean i will always have this inconvenienc

Do I have to buy a new duo processor lap top to continue getting my email using my mac.com address? Do i have to give up my mac.com email address and go to another provider?

It's the System which counts rather than the hardware. Your signature says you have 10.6.8. You can migrate your MobileMe account to iCloud at http://me.com/move even with Snow Leopard - when asked to confirm that you have Lion on your Mac, just lie and say 'yes'.
If you have MobileMe mail set up to collect mail from external POP accounts you should cancel this before migrating, or you may find it still working in iCloud (where it isn't supposed to) and with no way of stopping it. You may find the MobileMe email settings will continue to work for a time after migrating but it will stop eventually so you should not rely on this. You should delete your MobileMe email account from Mail.
You can then set up Mail manually in Snow Leopard to access iCloud email; it's a slight fudge because the 'wizard' will attempt to connect you to MobileMe as soon as you enter an @me.com address. The process, which includes a workaround for this, is described here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html
You may be able to sync your calendars to iCloud by means of an unsupported hack, and there is a convoluted hack which has been reported as working for Address Book (and as not working by others - I've not tried it), but iCloud's other facilities will not work. This page outlines the situation when you migrate to iCloud, including a link to the calendar hack:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
There are a couple of third-party solutions which may be of interest.
BusyCal is an iCal-like calendar application with extra facilities: it can sync with the iCloud Calendar while running on Leopard, Snow Leopard or Lion. A single user licence (two machines allowed) is $49.99.
Soho Organizer can sync Calendars and Contacts with iCloud on Leopard, Snow Leopard and Lion. A single user licence (multiple machines allowed) is $99.99.
(I have no connection with either firm.)

Itava Media Accelerator Running processor at 100% since upgrade

Hello,
I noticed my fan running a lot since my upgrade to 10.5.3. I ran activity monitor and found Ativa Accelerator is using 80-90% of the processor - for no apparent reason. When I shut it down things run normal. I reinstalled the driver in case it was an old version problem but the new one does the same thing. It is the powerpc version (on a G5 Imac). Anyone else have this problem or a solution (other than manually shutting it down all the time)?

The installer seems to drop a LaunchAgent which keeps a daemon process up and running constantly and this daemon is exceptionally chatty on the network. This seems like an odd approach for something that's supposed to be a browser plugin and I'd tend to be of the opinion that these people have no idea what they're doing. You can probably count the number of NASCAR fans that own computers on one, thumbless hand so I'm not sure what their business plan is here. Either way, I'd delete this thing immediately.

Can the processor and ram be upgraded for an affordable price?

Okay, so I've had my PowerBook 15inch for about 6 or 7 years now. I love it. I have a number of reasons for wanting to keep it. Like ports that fit hard drives that newer MacBook Pro's don't seem to have. I'm a photographer and use it for a lot of digital imagery. How ever, it uses the PowerPC processor and I'm finding that a lot of websites won't let me use it without a intel based Mac. I'm having issues trying to download some PDF's. I'm told this is because I'm not using an intel based Mac. Finally, newer software is starting to require that I have an intel based Mac.
I'm on the move all the time and never at home. Much of my entertainment comes from Netflix and video games such as World of Warcraft. I can't stream video from Netflix and soon I won't be able to play video games on my PowerPC based Mac. I was laid off and I've got little money. I DO NOT want a PC, but can't afford a Mac at this time. I was wondering if the processor could be upgraded as well as the ram for an affordable price.

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
You can upgrade your RAM to 2GB. If you want to see if that will help for programs you run, bring up the Activity Monitor, on your hard drive in applications/utilities. On the system memory tab look at page ins and page outs. If page outs are 10% to 15%+ of page ins, you can use more memory for what you run. A page out is when there isn't enough physical memory to run everything, and the system writes some memory to disk to make room for something else. Too much of this can hamper performance.
On the CPU, as was pointed out, you can't upgrade it.

Processor Can It Be Upgraded?

G4 Sawtooth Processor and Video Card upgrades

Hi there,
I'm heading for a major upgrade on my G4 Sawtooth 500Hz, starting with processor and Video card, not to mention maxing out the RAM slots.
My main applications are Final Cut, After Effects and Photoshop.
I wish I had more money for a dual processor (or even a G5 – sigh!) so I'm looking at the Sonnet Encore/ST G4/1.4GHz Processor versus the PowerLogix G4/1.4GHz 7455A PowerForce55. I've done the benchmark tests at OWC's site and I'm inclined to Sonnet. Anyone have an opinion between these 2, or even if there's another one I should be also considering?
Should I make the effort and go for a dual processor? because of the clear benefits on rendering time (specially for After Effects)?
Video Cards:
These I think I need more help. Going thru these threads I learned that I should consider the power supply (overheating problems) and that "AGP G4's have either a 208w or a 237w Power supply (PSU)" - I have no idea what I got.
On another thread I read: "as far as I'm aware, there are only two video cards currently available retail that support Tiger's core image/video, the Radeon 9600 and 9800. Unfortunately the 9600 requires a x4 AGP slot, so that just leaves the 9800. It's a powerful card but consequently is fairly expensive and can be noisy due to it's fan."
What is a x4 AGP slot? Do Sawtooths have this?
I'll be upgrading to Tiger soon. Does this mean I can't go for the ATI Radeon 9200?
I'd prefer AGP than PCI cards. What are my real options considering power consumption, OS and performance?
Important: I’d like the video card to run 2 monitors, LCD and/or CRT.
Further upgrades would be SATA controller card and one or two internal SATA drives replacing the ones I got.
Last but not least:
Instead of all this fuss, should I 'just' get the MacMini 1.66GHz Intel Core Duo????? and later on get a G5 (or whatever it will be called...)?
PowerMac G4 "Sawtooth" (AGP) 500Mhz, ATI Rage 128Pro, 512MB RAM Mac OS X (10.3.9) Internal ATA drives [25GB - 80GB] / External 160GB

I think I may have written what you've quoted. You probably already know, but you don't actually need a Core Image compatible card to use Tiger. As far as I'm aware, few applications currently make use of Core Image and fewer still actually require it (Apple's Aperture and Motion being possible exceptions).
As PB PM mentions, you have a x2 AGP slot and unfortunately there's little middle ground in terms of graphics cards available. The main options are the Radeon 9800 at one end (powerful but relatively expensive, power hungry, hot running and noisy) or perhaps the Radeon 9000 at the other. It's no longer available retail but they appear on eBay occasionally. It's an AGP card, was available in 64MB and 128MB versions and can support two monitors. One slight downside is that it has an ADC connector (alongside the VGA connector), which the Sawtooth logic board doesn't support, but I believe you can still connect an ADC to DVI adapter cable to connect a DVI monitor. It doesn't support Core Image either.

Running 10.6.8 on Mac Pro Dual-Core Intel Xeon 2.66GHz processors. Can I upgrade to Lion 10.7

I've just upgraded from 10.5 to 10.6.8 on a Mac Pro Dual-Core Intell Xeon, 2.66GHz. Is it possilbe to upgrade to Lion 10.7 with my Mac Pro Dual Core or have I just hit my ceiling on 10.6.8 update ?

Mac Pros are not PowerMacs. In 2006, Apple changed all its cheesegrater enclosure Macs to have the Xeon chip installed, and changed the name to Mac Pro at that that time from PowerMac G5. That said, all Mac Pros can upgrade to a minimum of 10.7.5. Only the earliest ones can't upgrade to 10.8 and above. 10.7 and later do not have Rosetta, the ability to run PowerPC (pre-2006) applications natively. For other pitfalls, read this tip.

Lenovo T61p upgrading possibilities

Hello dear Lenovo community people,
I am new here and myself I'm an IT technician and I would like to do a few modifications to my Lenovo T61p.
First of all, my biggest plan was upgrading the processor, right now I have a Intel Core 2 Duo T7700 @ 2.4Ghz. I have read many posts and forums about going to Core 2 Extreme X9000 or Core 2 Duo T9300. My question is, are these upgrades possible and how much would they cost in today's used parts economy? Would there be any overheating issues considering the voltage and power they use?
My second question is considering the RAM in my system. I have read that adding up to 8GB is possible, but Lenovo homepage says max is 4GB(which I have). Is it possible for me and how much would they cost in today's used parts economy? Would it be useful?
My third question is about extra add-ons, my edition of this computer didn't come with a built-in SD-card slot, but instead had a built-in Smartcard slot, can I add an SD card slot somewhere(PCMCIA or anywhere else besides USB)?
Also I don't have the firewire port, but instead it has just a black plastic in front of it. Can I add a firewire port there?
Are there also any 3G possibilities on my system, besides 3G USB?
My fourth question is about the HDD, what is the maximum a T61p will support, right now I have a stock 100GB HDD, I was planning on putting a 1TB in, since it fits in there. Is this possible?
Also, what kind of motherboard do I have? I heard the penryn is newer compared to a merom and has more possibilities. How to determine, which model I have?
My last question is considering the TrackPoint, I have the old-fashioned TrackPoint, which the old T23 had(http://blog.codinghorror.com/content/images/uploads/2006/05/6a0120a85dcdae970b0120a86d647f970b-pi.jp... so I really want to upgrade to this new one(http://www.vath.co/images/IBM%20Trackpoint%20SOFTDOME%20165.jpg). Is it possible and will it fit?
Are all these choices useful, considering I do lots of work, install a lot and do med-heavy gaming(CS: GO, old classics, some new ones etc.)?
I am also wondering; which Windows suits me best, right now I have Windows7 Home Premium, what is the next best thing, Enterprise or Ultimate, or stick with Home Premium, what are the differences in perofrmance? Should I go to Windows 8 or 8.1, maybe 9 or 10???

I was to ask the same with my processor. I just upgraded my hard drive to 750GB, and replaced my battery, but I am still getting the spinning beachball. Im happy to just replace the processor if this ball goes away. I do have 250GB free on it. and Im not doing much with this machine other than the occasional iMovie render.

Mac Pro 2009 Processor Upgrade Possibility?

I've searched and can not seem to find a straight answer. I have a 2009 Mac Pro with the single 2.66 quad-core processor. Since these Pro's use the daughter board (or whatever it's called) with the processor and RAM on them, can I just swap out that board with one from an official 2009 Mac Pro that has a dual 2.26 quad core processors effectively turning it into a 8-core machine? I'm not talking about tearing it down and swapping the actual processor, just pull the entire board out of a single proc machine and swap it with one from the same model year but with the dual proc machine. Anybody know if that would work?

Why would I consider selling and rebuying if the ENTIRE processor board with RAM and heat syncs and everything on it would simply plugin and work and I'd automatically have a dual processor setup? I'm still not sure anyone is fully understanding what I'm asking. Grant is the closest but I'm afraid of just trying it because I don't want to fry anything or break anything. If I knew it would simply work or not work, I'd just try it, but I don't want to ruin anything by trying. It's starting to sound like no one has ever tried this before. To me it seems like such a simple way to upgrade if it actually works. There would be no major disassembly, no processor swaps, no firmware upgrades, just a simple plug and play, but it sounds like no one can give me a straight answer. I'm just shocked no one has tried this. Anybody? Anybody swap the entire single-proc board for the dual-proc board?
Maybe pictures will help. Has anybody taken this out of their mac -
And then stuck this is and powered their machine up?
