Upgrade chip and memory

Can I upgrade the chip and memory? if so what can I use. The system is a little too slow. Yes I have all the software to speed it up. Thanks

Here is the Service Manual:

Go through Page 16-17. Each different processor is soldered to the board, so you've to replace the whole motherboard for that, you can see that their part numbers are different according to three different boards.
I suggest RAM upgrade from 4 to 8GB by adding another 4GB in the other vacant slot, with configuration DDR3 1333MHz dual channel boost.

Upgrade HDD and Memory

Hello
I recently bought an mac air 2012 and want to upgrade the internal memory HDD and simms ( from 4 to 8 gigs) is it possible and also worth it.

If you already bought it, then the RAM can't be upgraded. It can only be configured at time of purchase. The Memory is integral with the motherboard, and there are no expansion slots.
Aftermarket SSD's are available, but it is something you may want to wait upon until after the warranty expires.
Your alternatives? Sell your underconfigured device, and buy one that is configured the way you want it.

Hard drive on HP notebook PC failed. After replacement, can I upgrade OS and memory?

I have an HP Pavilion Entertainment Notebook PC, Model dv9617nr (HP pn GS730UA). An error message on boot-up says "Operating System not found" so my Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit (upgraded two years ago) will not load. I am assuming this means that my hard drive has failed. How can I verify this assumption? Again, assume I am correct, and I order the recommended replacement (HP pn 590736-001) from SpareParts Warehouse ($142.50 plus shipping). Are there instructions on the internet for doing this replacement? After I do this replacement, I thought I could install Windows 7 I already have and upgrade the memory to 4GB SODIMM from the 1GB SODIMM that was originally used. What problems would I have with Hardware Compatibility using Windows 7? If the memory module I use has the same specs as the HP recommended replacement (HP pn 598861-001), i.e. 800MHz, 200 pin, PC2-6400, SDRAM, but a larger 4GB memory capacity, would I have any compatibility problems using it? Please advise me on these issues. Thanks, Jeff

Hi, Jeff:
Let me break down your question...
First, to confirm your HDD died, go into your BIOS menu. There should be a hard drive and memory diagnostics utility. Run the HDD diagnostics utility and see what it reports. More than likely the HDD has crashed and is no longer usable.
You can order a replacement drive or you can get any SATA II hard drive --either 5400 RPM or 7200 RPM.
You could go to 250 to 500 GB if you choose. Unfortunately right now, HDD prices are unreasonably high due to the flooding in Thailand where many HDD manufacturing plants are located. Some were damaged heavily, causing HDD prices to triple almost overnight.
This is a drive you can get that I think is better than what you have now: This one is 7,200 RPM. Faster but uses more battery power.

You can get the 5400 rpm version too...similar. Not as good as the caviar black. This is more along the line of what you would get from HP.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136387
Read the reviews on both or you are free to get the one from HP.
There are instructions to install the hard drive and memory on your notebook's support and driver page. Click on Manuals on the right side of the page.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01278446&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en...
Then you want to look at the maintenance and service guide.
You can upgrade the memory to a maximum of 4 GB using 2 x 2GB of PC2-6400 memory. You can get it from HP or you can get it at the link below. This is the memory I use. As a matter of fact I just ordered this very same memory to install in my sister-in-law's dv6700.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148159
Now, you can install W7 just fine. I installed W7 Home Premium 64 bit on my dv6810us that has pretty much the same hardware as yours and 4 GB of memory (the same as I posted above).
Here is the catch though. It depends on what version of W7 you have. If you have a W7 upgrade version, you must install a qualifying operating system on the hard drive before you can upgrade it.
If you have a full version of Windows 7, then you can install it on a blank hard drive.
If you have the upgrade version, contact HP support and order a set of Vista recovery disks. Install Vista and then uprade to W7 if you have the upgrade version of W7.
You can use the vista drivers from your notebook's support page for any drivers you need that W7 didn't supply.
One thing...DO NOT flash (update) the BIOS when running Windows 7. You can only flash it using windows vista.
Hope this helps. If you have any other questions, please let us know.

Upgrade screen and memory

1. Hi. I just purchased a macbook pro 15 inch from amazon (2.2Ghz quad-core, 4GB memory and so on).
The screen is just normal resolution 1440*900.. I really want to upgrade this screen to 1680*1050 because I am going to do lots of work on images and videos.
The problem is I buy this macbook pro from the apple retailer on amazon. When I asked the apple custom service, they told me I cannot get my macbook pro screen upgraded. The only thing I can do is returning this pro to amazon and order another one from apple.
Do you have any idea that I can get my screen upgraded to high resolution screen?
Can I go to the local apple store and tell them that I want to upgrade the screen and I can pay extra money? In that case, how much do i need to pay?
2. I also want to upgrade the memory from 4GB to 8GB. I can do it myself. But as far as i know, for dell, if you open the body and upgrade the machine yourself, you are not going to be guaranteed any more because you have already broken the tag, which stands for no human damege, they put inside the body..
Do you know what should be the truth?
Thank you very much for your help.

Head over to the MacBook Pro forum please.

HP xw8600 workstation fans run at max all the time after upgrading CPUs and memory

Hello, This is my 1st post on the forums here so I would like to thank everyone for the help ahead of time. I have an HP xw8600 workstation on which I have upgraded the CPUs and RAM recently - after the upgrade the fans seem to spin at full speed all the time (not just under load). Before the upgrading the fans were barely heard but afterwords the workstation has become very loud. This seems odd that the fans always run fast now and seems like this is not "normal" - what needs to be done to allow the fans to again be modulated by load/temp settings as designed? I looked in the temp and fan RPM settings in the BIOS and it looks like all sensors are working (including ambient temp sensor - was stating around 20 deg. C). Hardware changes:Before - CPU: 2x Intel Xeon X5460/ 3.16 GHz, 12MB L2, 1333 MHz, FSB,120WRAM: HP 32GB (16x2GB) DDR2-667 ECC FBD RAM - using RAM riser After -CPU: 2x Intel Xeon X5492/ 3.40 GHz, 12MB L2, 1600 MHz, FSB,150WRAM: HP 32GB (8x4GB) DDR2-800 ECC FBD RAM - using RAM riser NOTE: From the HP spec sheet it says that 32GB(8x4GB) is not supported by 5492... I am not sure why this is so and do not know if this has anything to do with my fans running very fast. HP 32GB(8x4GB)DDR2-800 ECC FBD RAM RISER Supported ONLY w/dual processors
5272, 5472, 5482 HP 64GB (16x4GB) DDR2-800 ECC FBD RAM Supported ONLY w/dual processors
5272, 5472, 5482 and 5492.
Acoustics waiver required. Other than the constantly loud fans the workstation works perfectly with the new setup. Please let me know if anyone has run into this issue with the fast fans and whether there is a fix for this (maybe flashing BIOS?). Any advice is greatly appreciated! [I originally posted this under Desktops section - http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware/HP-xw8600-workstation-fans-run-at-max-all-the-time-after/td-p/3929746]

The xw8600 has a motherboard firmware setting that if it detects high powered processors in place it wants to see the "double tall" performance heatsink/double fans per heatsink in place. I have posted about that and how I rewired a double tall to use side by side in my xw8400 next to a single tall heatsink/fan to see how cooling was affected in that workstation. The xw8400 did not ever come with double tall performance heatsinks, to my knowledge, so its motherboard's firmware is different. In those posts I also explained how to do a simple jumper wire modification on a single tall heatsink to spoof the xw8600 into thinking it had a double tall/two fans in place over each processor. Simple and quick. So, you might want to get a couple of double talls off eBay, or try the jumper wire trick. I'd personally advise to get the double tall heatsinks given that you're running 150W max TDP processors. If I remember correctly HP wanted you to use the double talls for 120W max TDP and above. I'd feel comfortable using that trick on a set of 120 watt processors if I was not hammering them frequently, but it sounds like you're a high level power user. The all-fans-on-high can be due to a failed thermisitor in the front power cable reading ambient air temps too high, but you can check that in BIOS to see the temp and it sounds like yours is not elevated incorrectly. You can search for my experience with that in a xw6600, and it is an easy $8.00-$12.00 fix with a new cable off eBay. You'd want the longer version for the xw8600, versus the shorter one for the xw6600. Finally, maybe you've just gone too high in your total wattage use? Those risers can run hot and draw lots of power. Could you live with less ram and get rid of the risers using 4GB sticks? Sometimes those prior prohibitions regarding what is and is not supported go away with later BIOS updates. Is your BIOS the latest? Welcome, and let us know what turns out to be the problem so others can benefit too. Scott

HDD and memory upgrade on Satellite A350

Hi All
I have a satellite a350 laptop can anyone tell me whats the biggest harddrive I can have and memory please
Thanks

Hi
The RAM upgrade depends on the available chipset.
Not quite sure about your A350-xxx model but many of the Sat A350 notebooks were quipped with an Intel GM45 Express chipset and in such case you could upgrade the memory max up to 8GB RAM
Regarding the HDD: This notebook supports SATA HDD. This mean that you are not limited to an special size.
Theoretically it could be possible to use 500GB, 750GB 2.5 SATA HDDs

Any ideas?

OWC is a reputable supplier of hard drives and RAM upgrades to the Mac community.
Go to their site, lookup your model MacBook Pro and see what upgrades are available.
The 1tb WD Scorpio Blue is a 5400rpm drive and slower than the crop of 7200rpm drives.
Do you need space over speed?

13" MacBook Pro (mid 2009) hard drive and memory upgrade

So I'm looking to upgrade my hard drive and memory for my 13" MacBook Pro. I'm still wondering just how easy it will be to recover my data, and put it back onto my new drive. I currently have everything backed up to an External drive using Time Machine. If I back it up, and then do the replacement, is it really as simple as it sounds to start it up, put in the Mac OS disk and then restore from a Time Machine backup? I have 150 Gb worth of data and would be ticked off if I can't get it back to my MacBook Pro. Any expertise out there? The actual installation looks easy, but it's the loading the new drive that has me concerned. When I install the new drive, is there anything else I need to do to prep it? And how do I do it if there is? Looking at a 500 gb or even 1 Tb Western Digital drive.

I would say get yourself an external enclosure. Put the hard drive that comes out of your MacBook pro into the enclosure. Put in the new hard drive. Boot up from the external hard drive, use disk utility to format the new drive. Use Carbon Copy Cloner to move everything as it is from old hard drive to new internal one. Re-boot to internal drive, you are done.
Carbon Copy Cloner is a freeware get it from download.com

Third party chip and OSX upgrades

i have an original bondi blue imac (233 mhz) that I upgraded years ago to 500mhz with a newer technologies third-party chip. I also have upgraded it to a 40MB HD and 374 Meg RAM with another 8Meg video RAM. Now it is time to do the firmware update in order to upgrade to OSX.
Has anyone had any experience with that firmware update and those types of third party chips? I am afraid!
The manufacturer has discontinued them and I emailed them but haven't got any joy so far.
thanks

Do you have the original CPU handy? You can always downgrade, then do the firmware upgrade, and then upgrade again.
As far as I know the firmware upgrade affects only the logic board and not the CPU, but I don't want to be responsible for you frying your upgrade chip. As the upgrade chip is technically not supported by Apple, they will not have tested their firmware upgrader on a machine that has a third-party chip. But untested doesn't mean it won't work.

I am upgrading from Tiger to SL in a MCBPro with 2 gb ram and an intel chip and I get the following notice: Installation failed.... THE INSTALLER COULD NOT COPY THE NCESSARY SUPPORT FILES. Any help is apprciated

Yes. I've found that works best. Especially if the drive is external, since external connections are typically slower, and Spotlight loves to eat up space going back and forth. Time Machine will eat up as much space as it can, and typically needs drives at least twice the size of the original hard drive that is being backed up, if being backed up in full. So unfortunately there is a lot of empty space that is needed for smooth operation.

Nobody can tell you when you'll need to upgrade, as it depends on the software you're running, the operating system that software requires, and the state of your hardware. You've added memory, which you needed to do with Mountain Lion, and you could replace the hard drive with an SSD for better disk performance.

You can add insurance sometimes open entitlement is in march. How is it broken sometimes tech can do an exception. If its a warranty things there might be a slim chance.

Wow, thank you, what an awesome little tool!
So, I found that these 2 RAM products are compatible with my laptop:
Part Number: CT758799
Module Size: 2GB
Package: 200-pin SODIMM
Feature: DDR2 PC2-6400
Specs: DDR2 PC2-6400 • CL=6 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR2-800 • 1.8V • 256Meg x 64 •
Part Number: CT699699
Module Size: 2GB
Package: 200-pin SODIMM
Feature: DDR2 PC2-5300
Specs: DDR2 PC2-5300 • CL=5 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR2-667 • 1.8V • 256Meg x 64 •
I then went to a well-known auction site and found RAM cards from the same manufacturer with exactly the same specs as above but with different Part numbers. Does it have to be the exact part number or do I stand a good chance of it working if it has the required spec? I searched for the exact part numbers and yielded 0 results.
Thanks for all your help on this.
