Upgrade Options for ENVY dv6-7366ez

Hello.
I bought an ENVY dv6-7366ez notebook and I like to know the upgrade options for it (GPU, CPU, Display, Optical Drive). Here in Hungary I tried to contact with the official Hungarian HP support but they didn't have any information.... They said that the HP HQ don't share any information about it with them, but as i saw that's not true because i see many topics in the forum... Just not for my new/old notebook... So like to know which CPUs and GPUs are compatible with my notebook and what are the display and optical drive upgrade possibilities.
Product Number: D5m07EA#UUZ
BIOS Type   Insyde EFI
BIOS Version   F.29
System BIOS Date   10/03/2013

Hi,
The following link shows specs of your machine:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c03666370
and the following link shows manuals, guides for your machine:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/manualCategory?cc=us&lc=en&product=5361167
Page #1 of manusl #1 shows a list of CPU's supported.
You can upgrade RAM to 16Gb and MAY BE able to upgrade CPU. Other than that you may consider buying a new machine, could be cheaper.
Regards.

Any "discounted upgrade" option for new Acrobat 9 buyers when X is released?

I'm looking at buying Acrobat and as of right now, I notice that Adobe's website is only promoting the pre-ordering of version X (I can't even find an option to buy version 9 on here but can find it on Amazon and stuff).
I need to purchase a version of the software ASAP, but I'm just wondering: If I were to buy 9 now (right before release of X) is Adobe going to have an upgrade option that will allow me to upgrade to X without having to pay full price for the software? I'm looking at getting the highest level option (the $800 one).
Hopefully I posted this in the right section of the forum...
Thanks.

Thank you, George.
So, in other words, that means if I buy now through Amazon, I won't get the upgrade option (since it's a 3rd part site), despite the new release announcement, correct?
Is there a link anywhere on Adobe to buy version 9 now so I do qualify for the X upgrade? I can't seem to find one...

Upgrade options for my new old Power Mac G4?

So I just got a free Power Mac G4 MDD. It has dual G4 1.25 GHz cpus, 2 GB RAM, 4x80 GB Seagate Cheetah SCSI hard drives in RAID 0, Airport wireless, 2 Super drives, and a Geforce4 Ti 4600 GPU. It has a fresh install of Tiger, and I am wondering what upgrades are available for it; it feels smooth most of the time, but high res videos on youtube are pretty much unwatchable. I have done some research of my own, and I found a few pci-x cards that look useful, like for SATA ports, Firewire 800, usb 2.0, etc. I have also read about cpu upgrades up to 1.8 Ghz, and that it is possible to flash a pc graphics card to work on a mac, but all of the examples I've seen are with PCI Express graphics cards. Should I get the Sata card and use faster hard drives? Is there, in your experience, a good graphics card upgrade for my PowerMac? Is there a CPU upgrade faster the 1.42 GHz that I can get, and where? And what about overclocking my cpu? I got this for free, and I am willing to pay a few hundred dollars to upgrade it. I know its pretty old, but fixing up and upgrading old computers to there best is a hobby of mine.

Should I get the Sata card and use faster hard drives?
PCI or PCI-X controllers provide for good perfomance with SATA drives.
The Firmtek Seritek cards have excellent compatibility, are bootable to connected drives, and will help provide performance beyond that possible with ATA drives on the native bus.
BTW, PCI-X cards are backwards compatible to PCI.
Is there, in your experience, a good graphics card upgrade for my PowerMac?
The three best options for a MDD are a flashed Radeon 9800 XT, Radeon X800XT (flashed FireGL X3) or flashed Geforce 7800 GS.
If one upgrades to Leopard, the FireGL/X800 is best.
In Tiger, the 7800 GS is best.
Is there a CPU upgrade faster the 1.42 GHz that I can get, and where?
Sonnet used to make one (MDX Duet), but you'll be hard pressed to find one on eBay or such.
IMHO, overclocking the 1.42 GHz processor to 1.58 GHz provides for a much more powerful machine.
Heck, even at 1.42 GHz, the 7445 processor and 2 MB L3 cache are stronger, overall, than the 7447 processor used in the MDX Duet.
And what about overclocking my cpu?

OC'ing the MDD adds to heat issues.
There are some great mods like this one:

I/O Backplate upgrade option for MSI Big Bang X79

Is there anyway to purchase a padded MSI I/O Motherboard backplate? EVGA makes a really nice I/O padded backplate for their EVGA X79 FTW Motherboards so i was hoping MSI had it available has an optional purchase or upgrade? The padding is on the back side where the motherboard presses against the I/O backplate inside the case.
Also, my brand new retail box set did not come with the M-Connectors has shown. Should i contact MSI via support and have then ship a kit to me free?

The padding does nothing useful, other than look nice.
Same goes for the M-Connectors, I don't find them that useful, maybe they would be for people constantly changing mainboards in their case, but the front-panel connectors can still be directly connected to the pin-headers. If you lived in the UK, I'd happily post you mine!

Upgrade Options for My MacBook Pro?

I have a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009). I recently purchased a game and noticed it lags a lot. I was wondering what options there are for upgrading my mac. Can I upgrade processors, graphics cards, add more RAM? And if not, are there any other options to get my game to play properly without having to buy a new macbook? All comments are much appreciated

OWC are reputable suppliers of memory and hard drive upgrades to the Mac community.
Just find your model MacBook Pro on their website and select the upgrades you need/want.
Both RAM and hard drive upgrades are user serviceable parts and easy to perform. Just need a Philips-00 screwdriver and T6 Torx tool.
OWC has detailed installation videos to guide you.
OWC also have toolkits for use with your Mac.

Upgrade Options for PowerBook G4 Titanium

I have a PowerBook G4 Titanium with Mac OS 10.1 installed.
I would like to install the most recent OS possible on it.
What are the options I have? Is it Tiger or Leopard? Do I have to buy a retail DVD or does Apple sell upgrade DVDs? How is it all done?
Any help will do. Thanks in advance.

You can install the latest version of Leopard provided your PB has an 867 MHz or faster processor and at least 512 MBs of installed RAM (more would be better.) You will have to purchase the retail package. There are no upgrade DVDs available.
If your machine does not meet the requirements for Leopard then you can install Tiger. However, Apple no longer sells Tiger so you will need to find the retail package elsewhere such as eBay. Be sure you only purchase the retail version (black labels.)

Upgrade options for L45-S7409

Hello Everyone,
I'm simply needing some upgrade info. I just received a Toshiba Satellite L45-S7409 laptop and I'm wondering how much ram I can put into this computer and if I can upgrade the processor. It has an Intel Dual Core T2310 processor and I wanted to upgrade to a higher processor (one that won't overheat it.) Do I have any options?

Satellite L45-S7409
If that machine still has only 1 GB of RAM and is still running Windows Vista, it's essential that you upgrade the memory. It surely runs very slowly. That model should never have been released with less than 2 GB (which is also the maximum).
For compatibility, upgrade using memory from Toshiba or the best made by Kingston. You'll most likely need to replace the memory in both slots.
   Toshiba PA3668U-1M1G
   Kingston KTT667D2/1G
See the section Adding memory (optional), which begins on p. 46 of the User's Guide.
   Satellite L40/L45 Series User's Guide
You should notice better performance immediately. I wouldn't mess around with the processor.

Upgrade options for Production Premium CS5 (Education license)?

Hello,
I purchased Production Premium CS5 late last year with an education license because I used my credentials as a college professor. Now that CS5.5 is out, what are my options, if any, for an upgrade to Production Premium CS5.5? I'm purely a casual user and don't plan to make a living with the Adobe software.
Thanks in advance!
Nick

Educational versions can be upgraded to Commercial versions. Usually, it is cheaper to purchase a new education license.

Upgrade Options for Internal Hard Drive on dv2000t Laptop (Installation Problems)

I need to replace a failed hard drive in my 2006 dv2000t laptop. The drive I'm replacing was already a replacement drive from the original 80GB drive that shipped with laptop. That first replacement 3 years ago (2008) was a 200GB drive, that worked well for about 3 years. But it just crashed (apparently). I was getting some "S.M.A.R.T" imminent drive failure warnings a week prior, and then it finally would no longer boot-up. Subsequent tests on the extracted drive show it as having many failed sectors.
I had no problem ordering a replacement drive the first time in 2008, restoring an Acronis backup image of original drive, installing it, etc. All went smoothly in 2008. So I assumed all would go smoothly again for yet another replacement and upgrade.
In 2008 the drive I ordered was a W.D. (Western Digital, sticking with the same brand as original) 2.5-in 5400rpm SATA drive (200GB). That was a SATA (I) drive (1.5 Gbit/s interface).
The first drive I recently ordered (Mar 2011) was a W.D 2.5-in 7200rpm 500GB SATA II (3.0 Gbits/s interface) drive (from W.D.'s "Scorpio Black" line.) Got the drive, burned the disc image to it, and popped it into the laptop. Unfortunately, upon startup, and after BIOS screen, all I get is a black screen with a fast flashing white cursor at the top of the screen. Drive apparently is not being recognized by the computer? Then I did some reading in a few on-line forums and found some references about this laptop not doing well with drive capacities over 320GB, nor with 7200rpm drives (because they run hotter than 5400 drives). And finally, references to the SATA interface speed. I ordered a 2nd drive, this one from W.D's "Scorpio Blue" line, this time a 5400rpm 320GB drive (but still SATA II). Same story, still won't work. So I decided that maybe the issue was the SATA speed. So I found someone who still had an older SATA (1.5 GBit/s) W.D. drive in stock . It's a W.D. SATA 250GB (no longer made). It should arrive in a couple days -- and I'm hoping this one works!
I would like to get some kind of confirmation about the blinking white cursor on the black screen on start-up. Is that typicalif the system not finding a bootable hard drive? Also, is this SATA vs. SATA-II issue a likely cause of my problem? I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong with the new drives themselves, and the restored images on them , as the drives will mount and are accessible when I plug them in as external drives on my other computer.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I have been able to solve my own hard drive installation problems. It turns out that there were no issues with any of the new replacement drive(s) I ordered (thinking I had ordered drives with the wrong specs). The solution to the problem was a simple one. The restored drives were not booting because there was no MBR (Master Boot Record) on the drives after disc image restoration.
I am using Acronis True Image Home 2011 as my disc imaging (backup) software. And I just didn't understand how to properly restore backed up images to a new hard drive. I had done everything correctly except that I had not checked the box to "restore MBR" -- at the time not understanding what that was or its significance. Once I checked that box, and reimaged the new drive, it worked fine.

Upgrade options for OS 10.2.8?

I have a flat panel imac with 256mb of memory, an 800 mhz processor and OS 10.2.8. I've been informed that I can upgrade to Tiger, but my computer is too slow to upgrade to Leopard. Do I need to buy the Panther upgrade before I can install the Tiger upgrade, or will installing Tiger alone cover me?
thank you!

Welcome To  Discussions zooty05!
Here is some additional info.
As Texas Mac Man posted, Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
If you know what to look for, a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can also be purchased, sometimes less expensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, FastMac, HardCore Mac, AllMac, etc.
This is the correct one Mac OS X 10.4.6 Tiger, (DVD) Retail at FastMac.
And at HardCore Mac.
Notice, both are more expensive, than The Apple Store (U.S.).
Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
Tiger is on DVD.
The discs should look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade, CPU Drop-in DVD, or "This software is part of a hardware bundle purchase - not to be sold seperately." on them.

Tiger On eBay
Once Tiger 10.4.x is installed, you can use the PPC 10.4.11 Combo Update, to upgrade to the current version.
The Tiger System Requirements, for 256 MB RAM, is the bare minimum.
For optimum performance, additional RAM is recommended.

When Windows 8 comes out, will there be an upgrade option for current TouchSmart owners?

I just read a little bit about Windows 8 and noticed it was a very touch oriented OS. Once HP adapts their TouchSmart line to this new OS, will they offer a way for current owners to upgrade to Windows 8 and the (presumably) new TouchSmart software?

No one here would be privi to Apple's plans on the matter. Submit your feedback to Apple requesting such a feature:

In the interim, there is a reminder program for pretty much every need and taste in the App Store.

Upgrade options for WebLogic server 6.1

Is it better to upgrade from WebLogic server 6.1 to 7.0 first then go
to 8.1 or just go straight to 8.1? Has anyone ran into issues with
8.1 already and would have been better off staying with 7.0 until the
service pack for 8.0 comes out this July?

I'm biased since I work on the product, but I'd highly recommend going
straight to 8.1. We spent most of our time in WLS-land between 7.0 and
8.1 working on usability and stability of the server. I think you'll
find it's a very nice and solid upgrade, and it gets you to JDK 1.4.
I migrated several customer applications during our beta period. The
migration from 6.x or later to 8.1 is pretty straightforward.

Please ask Adobe to re-think upgrade options for Suite owners

I have sent emails, called and tweeted this same message and I hope you will too:
Adobe please stop locking us into Suites. Please let us upgrade from a suite to an individual product if we choose.
I own CS3 Design Standard and I only want PS CS5 and AI CS5. I don't need all the other programs that come with the suite and I can save over $100 by purchasing them separately at upgrade prices.
As it stands now, I will not be upgrading to CS5 because of this policy--it is too expensive.
If you are in the same position, please let Adobe know that they are losing sales due to this policy.

I disagree with you but I understand your feelings. This has been discussed since Adobe introduced the suites in 2003.
If you have a CS3 suite, you might want to read through this article on my website which might help you save a few bucks on the suite upgrade.

Although I am not personally interested in updating a single program from a suite, I believe it could be in Adobe's best interest to do so.
Adobe could handle a single or two 'suite' program update to the individual programs in exactly the same way they handle a cross platform exchange/upgrade, i.e. one relinquishes all claim to the original suite by certifying that it has been destroyed and is issued the 'upgrade' in a full package. With a single program or even a two program 'upgrade' of this sort from the 'suite' of programs Adobe would have income they may not otherwise receive and the customer is happy. If it were a three or more single program upgrade then updating the suite would generally be cheaper--as it should be--that's what suites were designed for.
I agree that updating without relinquishing the original suite is not in Adobe's best interest for several reasons.

Airport Extreme 802.11n upgrade options for early Intel Core Duo iMac

I have an iMac from mid 2006. I recently purchased a Timecapsule - partly for the wireless back ups, and partly to upgrade my wireless network to 802.11n. There is a software upgrade from Apple that upgrades older 802.11 a/b/g Airport cards in the iMac to 'n' standard. Here is the link:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/D4141ZM/A?fnode=MTY1NDA0Mg&mco=MjIzMDkzNA
The page states that the upgrade is compatible "If you have a Mac with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor (except the 17-inch, 1.83GHz iMac)". What it doesn't tell you is that if you have an early version of the iMac (pre-Sept 2006) that shipped with the Intel Core Duo Processor (note - not the Core 2 Duo) then the upgrade will not work. I have also tried to install Airport Extreme updates (2007002 and 2008004) and these report that the hardware is not compatible. Doing some searching around these forums and others, the issue with the original Core Duo iMacs not being upgradeable to 802.11n is out there - shame Apple weren't more explicit.
I have seen that there are various USB based 802.11n adapters available. Whilst searching on this topic, I also came across a site offering various Mac upgrades, including an upgrade to the Airport card to upgrade wireless capability from 802.11g to 802.11n. It looks like a straight replacement for the internal card - link here:
http://www.macupgrades.co.uk/store/productinfo.php?productsid=461
The company offering this is in the UK, but the product appears to be from a Sonnet, a US company. Does anyone out there have experience of installing this product (or having it installed) and can you comment on how it performs? Is it a seamless replacement for the original Airport card?

What it doesn't tell you is that if you have an early version of the iMac (pre-Sept 2006) that shipped with the Intel Core Duo Processor (note - not the Core 2 Duo) then the upgrade will not work.
If it says you need to have a Core "2" Duo processor, then it seems to me they are telling you very clearly that it will not work with the earlier Core (no "2") Duo iMacs.
The "late 2006" iMacs with Core 2 Duo (except for that one education model they mentioned) have wireless networking hardware that is 802.11n capable. When they were initially sold, Apple chose to NOT enable the "n" capability for some reason; maybe because the standard was still in flux and not enough testing had been done with the driver. Later, they enabled the "n" capability with a firmware update. But that was only possible because the wireless hardware was already capable of doing "n."
Earlier iMacs do not have this hardware so there is no way to enable it with a firmware or software update. 802.11g is plenty fast enough for Internet access (you won't notice a difference with "n"). If you are using Time Machine over wireless, it may take a while longer to do that initial backup (you could connected it by Ethernet cable when it is doing that initial backup), but subsequent backups are incremental, so the "g" versus "n" speed difference will not be as critical. Since your iMac is Core Duo (32-bit) and the future of Mac OS X is 64-bit, especially after Snow Leopard's release, it may be best to save your money and keep your iMac intact (not opened).
