Upgrade CPU for an older 635 Laptop

Hi, I have had an HP635 for a couple of years now, It basically serves me well except I do enjoy a little bit of gaming from time to time and its starting to show its age now. 
I cant help but notice he Mobile processors list in the optional parts http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/13969_div/13969_div.PDF 
My question is, all warranty now expired, can I litereally pick on of these off eBay, retrofit it myself and have it work immediatly? Also, I have the e-350 processor now, and that has the 6310 Radion on board, but im not acutally sure if thats built into the chip, or is it built into the motherboard of the laptop?
So sum it up, can I exactly just pop a new CPU in and it will work, and furthermore will that affect the Graphics card ?
Sorry if it sounds like a newbie question, I just cant find a answer Im happy with online.

Well it is complex but the e-350 is called an APU, not a CPU or GPU and it means the processing and video are on the same die. So yes if you put in another compatible processor it will carry both computing and video rendering functions. While you might get a processor a tick or 2 faster in computing it will essentially have the same graphics unit and will not improve your gaming experience enough to be worthwhile.

  • Upgrade cpu or get a new laptop?

    I currently have a compaq presario cq56 notebook pc that only has the intel celeron processing unit (Sadly my mom didn't know anything about cpu or memory and just picked a random laptop for me). I am constantly running into conflicts because the cpu is too slow to suit my needs, I'm a college student that is constantly working on ten things at once!
    I am very satisfied with the laptop other than the cpu problem so I've run into the dilemma of not knowing whether or not to try and upgrade my processor or simply get a new laptop all together.
    Buying a new processor is cheaper than a new laptop (the cheaper the better since college forces me live on way too tight of a budget) but I don't even know how to find out what processors are compatible with this laptop specifically. I think the intel core i5 would be strong enough to suit my needs but will that processor be compatible with the compaq presario cq56?
    So basically, would it be worth it to just upgrade my CPU or will that not change much and should I just take the leap and get a completely new laptop?
    current processor: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU    900 @ 2.20GHz   2.19GHz
    current installed memory:     2.00 GB
    current system type:     64-bit operating system

    Hi,
    This is a list of processors supported from day 1:
    Intel® Celeron® 900 processor (2.2 GHz)
    Intel® Pentium® T4500 processor (2.3 GHz)
    Intel Celeron T3500 processor (2.1 GHz)
    Intel Celeron T3300 processor (2.0 GHz)
    Looks like you can't upgrade to anywhere only some T or may be P CPU's.
    Regards.

  • Upgrade cpu for a20m (2628-RRR)

    I got a A20m and tried to upgrade the cpu from celeron 550 to Pentium 3, I put a P3 700 in to the mechine, but it just runs in 550 Mhz, what should I do to fully utilitize the cpu speed?
    I did upgrade the Bios to v1.13, and have no new idea now.
    Please help!

    Welcome to the forum!
    Have you properly inserted the drive, because that's the reason for drive not being "seen" by the machine 90% of the time, and that can be tricky on A2x and A3x unit...make sure it's sitting properly in its caddy and is pushed in all the way.
    Even if your machine had a BIOS limit (137GB for older ThinkPads) the drive would still be recognized. There are no "brand restrictions" on ThinkPads of this generation.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers,

    Yup, unfortunately and im sure not by accident 99% of note book computers are made not to be upgradable. Everything is hard wired in to the motherboard. soundcard, video card (my own personal demon), network card, and of course the processor

  • Upgrade cpu for dv5 1201el

    I have a Pavilion dv5 1201el. Good notebook but now i would like to upgrade it with a more powerful cpu. It's possible? What cpu can i insert to it to have more speed ? Thanks

    Hi:
    The product specs page doesn't list what processor is installed in your notebook.
    Below is the link to the dv5 service manual.

  • Upgrade CPU for Satellite A100-683

    What CPU can be used to upgrade the Satellite A100-683. Currently the Intel Core Duo T2250 has been installed.
    I would like to upgrade my CPU and memory.;
    (1) What is the maximum CPU that is supported by the mainboard?
    (2) What kind of CPU kan I use. Thinking about a Intel Core Due T7200 or T7600?
    (3) What kind of memory can I use to upgrade to 4Gb?
    Looking forward to any reply thagt is usefull!

    Hi,
    I think since your machine is not anymore in warranty, you wont get any problems or a revocation of some kind of warranty when opening your machine and doing some techie-like work on it. :)
    1. It should be the Core2Duo T7600
    2. Use the T7600
    3. 2GB+2GB? ;) T
    Seriously: Try to use DDR2 with a FSB frequency of 667Mhz.
    Thats all, still some questions?

  • Upgrade CPU AMD E-300( 1.3ghz) for laptop HP 2000

    Can I upgrade CPU for laptop HP 2000 .? change CPU for this...? impossible.?
    Thanks a lot...I want to help

    Hello santalucia1992.  I understand you're wondering if you can upgrade the CPU in your notebook.
    On some models of notebooks it is possible (though, not recommended) to upgrade your CPU.  The problems you could run into are heat concerns and power consumption concerns.  The cooling system for the notebook was designed with specific parts in mind and a faster CPU will create more heat.  Also, the notebook's power supply was meant to handle a specific amount of power as well.  A faster CPU will generally use more power.  Also, some CPUs are soldered to the motherboard.  This means that replacing the CPU means a full motherboard replacement.  
    In order to look up more specific information about the notebook I'll need your product number.  I can use this to view what parts are available.  This will give me a good idea whether or not the upgrade is possible.  This document can show you where the product number is located.
    I will keep an eye out for your response.  I hope you're having an excellent day!

    Hi,please suggest me some games for Compaq CQ62-105TU Laptop.Can I upgrade my laptop's graphics card

    Unfortunately, you cannot upgrade the processor or graphics card on this laptop.
    Here is a page from CPU-World that gives the specs for your processor:
    http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Bobcat/AMD-E%20Series%20E2-1800.html
    You will see down near the bottom of the page that it is not upgradeable. Some laptops come with the processor soldered to the motherboard. Almost all laptop graphics are this way. The only way that you would be able to get a faster processor/better graphics for this laptop would be to purchase a brand new motherboard. You can do an Ebay search for 'HP G6 motherboard' to see what average prices are if you want to go this route.

  • I have an older I Mac operating system 10.6.8 and want to upgrade.  I've been told that the only upgrade available for my machine is 10.7.5.  On what website can I find this upgrade or how do I find this upgrade on the Apple website?

    Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
    Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

  • I have two users on my laptop. when i try to share my itune files from the main account, the second acount itunes will not find the files. the help suggestions must be for an older version of itunes. when i click find files-nothing happens.

    I cannot share itune files on the same laptop. I have two users on my laptop using windows 7.file sharing is turned on,when i click on the itune startup screen-find music files, nothing happens. the instructions in the help section must be from an earlier version of itunes because the edit folder is not laid out like it describes.

    Have you rendered both iOS 7 and iOS 8 (both of which will work on your iPhone 5) out of the question entirely without trying every possible configuration? The animations can be disabled entirely, if that's the problem. And if the whiter-brighter user interface is the problem, there's reverse-contrast modes that darken everything. You can expose accessibility controls to gain immediate access to these functions to toggle them on and off. I guess my point is you may have decided against upgrading the OS based on an early experience with iOS 7 when Apple has since made changes in later revisions to address some of the usability complaints.
    Now, Apple's instructions for downloading older versions of apps is to do so from the Purchased list, not from the app's product page.
    See here:
    Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support

  • Upgrade guide for users of older versions of Flash Media Server?

    I'm looking around to see if anyone has sort of done a crossover or upgrade guide for people with older FMS installations.
    We've been running the server since at least version 2, and haven't had to change much in upgrading to subsequent versions.
    In doing so, we hadn't had to change to some of Adobe's newer ways of doing things with regards to configuration files, etc.
    In setting up a test 4.5.x server, though... it appears we will likely want to really change the way we are doing things.
    I'm wondering if anyone knows of a comprehensive site that would sort of cover topics in a "if you did this this way before, do it this way now" sort of instructions.
    Thanks

    we just moved from 3.5 to 4.03 and now the sound has 'hiccups' - looked thru forum and made some changes but still happening - be nice like you said if there was a 'your using this version, and this is what you need to do in the next' area

    If you want to sync it to the iPad from that Mac, you need to upgrade it to at least 10.5.8.
    If you want to copy the music to another Mac, you don't. Move the iTunes folder of the item in the Finder's sidebar over as you would any other folder. If you put it somewhere other than the Music folder, launch iTunes with the Option key held down and point it to that location.
