Should I upgrade to the i7 processor on the 2012 11" Macbook Air?

I'm planning to get a new Macbook friday or so, and I'm curious to whether or not I should upgrade to the i7 processor in the 2012 11" Macbook Air. I do a lot of photoshopping and occasionally playing Sims 3, but aside from that it's just usual typing and social networking type stuff. Is upgrading to the i7 worth it and will I notice a difference? Or should I just go for upgrading the RAM to 8GB instead of the 4GB it comes with? I also am for sure getting the 256GB upgrade, as well as a case and external disc drive. Whatever the lowest pricing possible would be preferable to get what works best for me.
Thanks!

Difference between i5 1.7 and i7 2.0 definitely won't give you extra year or two... In fact in everyday work it remains unnoticed.
Unless while encoding video for 5 minutes, some 15 seconds is going to make a difference to you - I am not sure it's worth the money (only you can decide that..).
RAM. RAM. RAM is where you really should spend money. Also SSD, depends on your needs, you may run out of space quite quickly. These are elements that will give you additional year or two, and you can't* upgrade them in the future.
*) SSD technicaly can be upgraded, but it's much more difficult and requires you to purchase 3rd party SSD modules, and is considered non-upgradable by Apple.

Can an iMac G4 be upgraded to an Intel processor?

I was wondering can an iMac G4 be upgraded to an Intel processor? This stems from the whole PPC no longer being supported by Adobe Flash etc.

No.
Kappy: That's replacing the computer, not upgrading it.

How do I upgrade from OS X processor version 10.5.8 to 10.6 or later. Is it worth the upgrade?

how do I upgrade from OS X processor version 10.5.8 to 10.6 or later? Is it worth the upgrade?

I have 5.8 on iMac, but it is not server version, it is a usual OS install. I would say, that the only thing there worth upgrading is adding more memory. You should also keep upgrading Firefox, OpenOffice etc. for comfortable work and avoid memory and resource-hungry or buggy applications (like Safari). I have recently used iMovie to work with video, and I never had problems with image editing there. I can compare to 6.8 on my MacBook - I cannot say there is something I missing on this iMac 5.8 which is present on 6.8.
In general, I am an old mac user, and I had experiences where OS upgrade speed up things, like going from 10.2 to 10.3, but I still recommend to make sure that you will get rid of the bugs while keeping functionality - notoriouse examples are Photoshop 7 that stopped working on new systems, Gimpshop (and underling gimp 2, though some cured it) and even some Finder features.

Ram Upgrade in CQ61-411WM up to 8 gigs with Win 7 64 bit?

The specs for this machine is here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01980785&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&lc=en&dlc=en...
There is a company selling ram for this model that says with 32 bit the max is 4 gigs and the max with 64 bit is 8 gigs. Is this company wrong or are the HP specs page wrong?
This is the page that says 8 gigs will work for 64 bit in this machine.

Also the sticky in this forum about Upgrades says:
1 ) The bus speed of the new modules should be the highest speed that the
specifications of your notebook state. Do not mix modules of different bus
speeds. Mixing bus speeds results in defaulting to lowest speed and a possibly
non operational memory module configuration. "
But as you see.. my specs page does NOT list the memory bus speeds!
If the max bus speed are not listed in the specs page, then how can I purchase any memory at all? I cannot !

CQ61-310US Processor Specifications

I'm having trouble finding the specifications of the processor that comes on the CQ61-310US.
What I know is it's Sempron M100, it's single core.
What socket type is it? How many watts does it use?
Aside from this, what's the highest wattage processor the laptop can have installed?
I'm asking because I may want to upgrade to a dual-core processor.
Many thanks.

Hello???
Is there any possibility of upgrading the processor in a CQ61-310US? It natively has a AMD Sempron m100.
If yes, what socket does the CQ61-310US use? Is it an AM2? I plan to upgrade to a dual core.

Upgrade RAM cq61 425ea

My old-but faithful CQ61 425E running Windows 7 (64bit) is getting very slow so I was thinking about upgrading it.
Is it worth buying more RAM? If so how much (I currently have the original 2G), what do I need and how do I do it?
Cheers, Simon

Hi
Your product specs: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02054951&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en...
There is no service manual available for your laptop for me to look on,
But I see that your laptop has two slots with 1GB each,
I suggest you put 2GB in each slot as these RAM size is only needed to get improvement in performance considering the type of HDD & processor your lap has.
It is a DDR2 RAM that is compatible for your system.
We're looking for something like this one, it's compatible one:
Crucial 2GB DDR2 800MHz PC2-6400 200pin SODIMM SDRAM
You can know the configuration of the RAM currently present in your lap by downloading, & running this application ,:
http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html
Post the screenshot here if possible. So that above one I suggested could be confirmed.
Before going ahead with replacement I also suggest you do a extensive hard drive & memory test from BIOS System Diagnostics, so that other factors like hardware failure causing the site down could be ruled out, this will help for that -
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c01443317

Maintenance and service guide for G62 laptops:
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02542102.pdf
Q2: I think so. The service guide says that it's possible for model 1.1 only. Product specs for G62-361tx say that the hard drive is a 320GB 5400rpm and this hard drive is available for model 1.1 only. I think that you may use a 4GB module anyway, the laptop might be upgraded up to 8GB of RAM..
Q1: Upgrade definitely possible to:
Intel Arrandale i5–520M Processor (2.4 GHz, 3 MB total L3 cache, 1066 MHz)— Dual Core 35 W pn: 594187-001
Intel Arrandale i5–540M Processor (2.53 GHz, 3 MB total L3 cache, 1066 MHz)— Dual core 35 W pn: 594188-001
Intel Arrandale i5–450 Processor (2.4 GHz, 3 MB L3 cache, 1066 MHz)—Dual Core 35 W pn: 613585-001
Intel Arrandale i5–430 Processor (2.26 GHz, 3 MB total L3 cache, 1066 MHz)—Dual Core 35 W pn: 597624-001
Might be possible:
Intel Arrandale i5–560 Processor (2.66–3.2 GHz, 3 MB L3 cache, 1066 MHz)—Dual
Core 35 W (for model 1.1 only) pn: 625824-001
Intel Arrandale i5–580 Processor (2.66–3.33 GHz, 3 MB L3 cache, 1066 MHz)—
Dual Core 35 W (for model 1.1 only) pn: 625825-001
Intel Core i5–460 Processor (2.53 GHz, 3 MB L3 cache, 1066 MHz)—Dual Core 35
W (for model 1.1 only) pn: 626039-001
I can't tell you which model the G62-361tx is so I would use one of the first 4 processors. They should work at 100%!!

Is it possible to upgrade a dv5 1234ca processor?

I want to upgrade my HP dv5 1234ca laptop processor. Presently my laptop has a 2.00 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T6400. I was wondering if it was possible to remove the old processor to a faster Core 2 Duo processor? or i3 or i5 processor ?

http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01550108.pdf
Look on page 104 on your service manual and these are the processors that will fit in your machine _ the AMD processors do not apply.
To answer your question, no you can't put any "i" series processor in there, the socket is different.
There are faster processors that will fit that are not listed, but if HP has not released a BIOS to accommodate the speed, the laptop will run hot, so it's advisable to stick with what is listed in the service manual.
You are not going to notice any difference in the speed of the computer by upgrading the processor, if want it to run faster I recommend upgrading to at least a 7200 rpm hard drive or a solid state.
Your question is a little confusing too, you're already running a dual core processor and you are asking if it will run faster on a dual core processor.
If you still want to upgrade the processor, avoid this type of thing from e-bay.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Intel-Core-2-Duo-T9600-2-80Ghz-laptopmonkey-value-/160560272354?pt=CPUs&hash=ite...
This processor is what's know as a QS (qualifying sample) or ES (engineering sample) and are clearly marked QS or ES, stamped right on the body of the processor. These are given out to computer designers so that they can develop and test new computer designs and are still the property of Intel.
Even though these will run OK, most of them have been pushed to their limits and may fail and Intel or the seller will not warrantee them.

Hi:
Below is the link to your notebook's service manual:
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01550108.pdf
The processor can be easily removed (without desoldering), but not before you disassemble virtually the entire notebook to get to it.
I also note there is no listing for the processor you have. The Intel processors range from the T8400 to the T9600. See Chapter 4, page 102.
You cannot intall an Intel i series processor in your notebook.

Do not upgrade to an IvyBridge processor if you need to boot into 32-bit mode with Lion

I recently upgraded to a MBP running the Ivybridge processor and tried to boot into 32-bit mode. Although it did boot after a short period (3-5 mins) it totally crashed a locked up. This was precursored by a graphics error and then the mouse cursor could be moved but nothing else could be done and it was only solved by a hard shut down (holding down the power button). Previously I had been running a MBP with the Sandybridge architecture and this booted fine into 32-bit mode and worked without a problem.
I spent a lot of time on the phone with Apple care who said they'd not had any reports of this issue and we went right though my system until they said there was nothing else they could do and I should try a re-install of Lion. I did this onto another hard-drive, booted into it and managed to get the machine to crash again... leading me to understand that it's nothing to do with my setup.
Thinking it might be an issue with my firmware on the mac today I visited an Apple store and tried booting 5 MacBook Pro's and a MacBook Air - all running IvyBridge - into 32-bit mode and managed to cause the same crash on all of them. If the machine is just booted an left with finder it didn't seem to want to crash but when I opened programs, mainly mac mail, it didn't take too much longer for the crash to occur.
If there are any Apple engineer reading this could you try and reproduce the issue and look at fixing this please as a lot of people still use 32-bit and if I'd known that the IvyBridge processors weren't going to work in 32-bit mode I would have stayed with the Sandybridge MBPs.
Many Thanks,
Adam Peters,

That is a pain then. Pretty much all of the OS included applications (finder, Mail, iTunes, Safari,...) are all fully 64-bit programs now (since Lion) so I can see where launching them when booted into 32-bit mode could cause stability issues.
If you boot into 32-bit mode and just run the Tascam software without launching anything else, will it work?
Was it alright in 10.6? And if so, how about keeping 10.6 in a virtual machine or on a separate disc or partition?

Should I upgrade the RAM, the Processor, and add an ATA/133 card?!

Hello!
I have a few more questions...
I only have 2 internal drives...
(one 300GB which is the main one that runs the applications and one 60Gb used as extra storage mainly for my video projects)
Do I need an ATA/133 PCI controller card for them?
will it really be worth it?
(meaning will it actually make a difference in speed or not?)
or do you only need one of those cards if you have 3 or 4 drives?
also,
would adding more RAM (up to the 2.0 GB limit)
(my comp is currently at 1.25 GB)
make a huge difference?
and the processor...
if i upgrade it to the 1.8 GHz
(it's currently at 867 MHz)
will it be a major improvement?
i guess I'm asking if i would benefit in upgrading
everything:
the RAM,
the processor,
and adding an ATA/133 PCI controller card
or would just upgrading/adding one or two of these be suffice?
I'm seriously looking into upgrading my comp but I want to know
what benefits me and what won't really make a difference
-Cristina-
p.s.
I know I posted this somewhere earlier,
but I'm just so anxious :/
I've been looking at so much information that my head feels like it's going to explode!

Hi-
You don't need a controller card.
If you keep your main drive(s) on the ATA/100 bus (rear carrier), and add (if you like) up to two drives to the ATA/66 (forward carrier) bus, for storage, archives, etc., you will have fine performance from all drives.
If you are going to add a drive, I would add a larger drive to the ATA/100 bus, and move the smaller (60gb) to the ATA/66 position, relegated to storage. Your graphics work (is it?) will then run well on the two drives on the ATA/100 bus.
In a G4, running with maximum RAM (2gb) is always a good performance move, and helps reduce the "spinning beachball", especially with large graphics files. As for "huge difference", not as such, but, RAM is one of the cheapest (especially now) performance buys that can be had, and more RAM is always better than less.
Upgrading to dual 1.8ghz processors would be a "Wow!" type of upgrade, compared to the current dual 867mhz processors. Be advised, that processor upgrades require that you be able to boot to OS 9 prior to installing the processor upgrade. This is to apply necessary "patches" to allow the system to use the new processors. If you don't still have a boot-able OS 9 installed on your machine, you will need to have that ability prior to a processor upgrade.
Another processor upgrade option, would be to change your processors to dual 1.25 or 1.42mhz processors from another MDD. The difference from a 11.25 dual processor, and the dual 1.8, is really between 10-15% increase in performance, with the 1.25mhz providing about 20-25% increase over the dual 867mhz processors. The main problem with this approach, is that there are some modifications that must be made, which aren't the average "do it yourself" type of work.
In the end, though, you may want to take the upgrade money, $600+, sell the MDD, $300+, and put the money on a new Mac. Don't get me wrong, I like upgrades, but it is as much to tinker, as it is to boost performance. And, at the end of the day, I don't need a new Mac. If you don't, either, you will be happy with the upgrades.

Buying a new Macbook Pro for music recording, should I upgrade the RAM or Processor?

As the title states, I'm looking into buying a new Macbook (15 inch) for music recording. Should I upgrade the processor or the RAM memory?

Purchase it with the faster CPU. RAM may be increased later via third party chips at much lower cost if and when required.
Ciao.
