UPGRADING PROCESSOR AND RAM

Hello, pls i'm asking to know the possibility of upgrading my processor from AMD A6-3430MX APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics to an A10 processor, which will boost the strength of my gaming...is it possible to buy only the A10 processor and replace it on my A6 because the current processor does not support most of my gaming needs while i have enough video graphics memory (1.5gb Radeon). However, i also want to know the amount of maximum RAM the computer can accomodate because currently i have 6gb RAM and i'm thinking of upgrading it to 8gb. Will these changes affect the computer negatively? or what? because i think it the best economical option for me rather than waiting to buy a bigger laptop with a higher processor...Games that require such high specs include upcoming Watchdogs, Need for Speed Rivals, Call of Duty ghost, Upcoming Hitman 6, and so many others...I'm waiting for a feedback

Hello, below are the details of my Laptop...I hope it will serve enough details..Looking forward to hear from you

Upgrading a 2009 iMac 10,1 21.5" screen to the new processor and RAM

I got mine last year from Best Buy and would like to know if they will or can upgrade my computer to the new quad core processor and RAM?

The processor won't be upgradeable. Even assuming it's not soldered to the logic board and could be swapped without affecting the warranty (it can't), the Core 2 Duo and Core i5/i7 do not use the same socket; you can't replace one with the other.

G50-45 Processor and RAM upgrade?

Hello, currently I own a Lenovo G50-45 Laptop with Windows 8.1 and I am looking to see if I can upgrade the upgrade the Processor and RAM. Currently in the system is the AMD A8 6410 APU with AMD Radeon R5 Graphics and 6 GB of RAM and I'd like to upgrade the RAM to 8 GB and the Processor to something with much higher performance.

Hi Trident1,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
The Processor this unit is Embedded to the motherboard and can't be replaced or upgraded.
Your Processor AMD A8 6410 APU is part of the Beema Architecture which supports 16GB RAM
YES you can upgrade up to 8GB DDR3L 1600
This system can take up to 16GB MAX by using 2x 8GB Module

How do I use my serial number to find information about my MacBook Pro's Processor and RAM?

So I want to find information about my MacBook Pro's processor and RAM using the serial number because the MacBook no longer works. I remember being able to find this information on the apple website before, maybe by using the coverage checker. Did they take this information out of the coverage checker? Is it no longer possible for a costumer to obtain this information?

Append the last three characters of it to http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords= and load the page.
This won't reveal how much RAM it currently has installed.

Portege R500 - Upgrade procesor and RAM

Can I upgrade proceror and RAM in my R500?
Is possible?? If yes, how procesor can i used?
Robert

hi RoboS,
first of all the modell number is needed to check which hardware is in the machine.
to upgrade ram: easy - there should be a door marked with a ram-symbol on the bottom of the machine. open up and insert more memory
make sure that the system is powerless: remove ac-adapter and battery!
make also sure that the new ram modules meets the specifications.
upgrade the cpu: much more difficult and toshiba dont support this upgrade...
search for your modeltype with a bigger cpu and check if it has a socket (should be), this cpu should go together with your machine...
but remember: double the ram isnt that expensive than upgrade cpu and you have more fun with a bigger amount auf ram than a bit faster cpu....

Can I Upgrade My Processor And RAM?What Is Compatible?

Hello, I Got A New Laptop Recieved From A Trade,And Was Wondering What And How To Upgrade My CPU And RAM? My Laptop Info: -Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU B800 @ 1.50GHz, 1500Mhz, 2 Core(s), 2 Logical Processors-BIOS Ver. Hewlett-Packard F.33-SMBIOS Ver. 2.7-x64 Bit-2GB RAM(MAX 8GB) Basically I Wanna Upgrade The Laptop For Better Speed/Performance.Im Not Using It For Gaming Etc.Just For Faster Internet Browsing Etc....So Basically A Laptop For Google,YouTube Etc. NOTE: MY INTERNET MBPS IS AROUND 600Mbps WIRELESSLY. My Questions: 1.What Processor's Are Best?,And What Processor's Are Compatible With My Laptop? 2.Do I Just Replace The Processor?Or Motherboard? 3.What RAM Is Compatible With My Laptop? 4.Also What Is The Best Hard Disk Upgrade?(DONT NEED MORE THAN 500GB) 5.How Do I Go About Replacing And Installing The Processor? Thank You!!

This is the source of information about your laptop: the Service Manual: Download Manual here Unfortunately if you look on page 19 you see that Celeron models have their own type of motherboard which means you could only install a different Celeron processor. You could theoretically buy one of the i3/i5 motherboards and install it but that would mean a new motherboard and processor. The cost will approach a new laptop price. How much memory do you have? Your model was a WalMart Black Friday special a few years back and came with 2 gigs. Increase it to 8 or at least 4. 4 would be cheap as all you would have to do is add a 2 gig module. Here is the part number for a 4 gig module: 4 GB 621569-001 Here is the 2 gig on amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/Upgrade-100-6100ix-PC3-10600-1333MHz-PARTS-QUICK/dp/B00FDV69CE/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1437999207&sr=8-6&keywords=621565-001 Then save that money you want to spend on the motherboard and processor and just buy a solid state drive. You can get a 250 gig solid state drive for under $100 now. Install it and do a clean reinstall of Windows onto it and you will think you have installed an i5 processor and 8 gigs of RAM. Makes everything pop open, boots way, way faster, etc. The solid state drive is the same physical configuration as a hard drive and is a drop-in replacement. http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-2-5-Inch-Internal-MZ-75E250B-AM/dp/B00OAJ412U/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1437999378&sr=1-1&keywords=Samsung+850+Evo Pages 45 and 46 of the Manual show memory upgrade and hard drive removal and reinstallation. Good luck.

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.

Upgrade CPU and RAM on Lenovo G480

Hello, I wanted to ask something: can I upgrade my CPU on my lenovo G480? And in case of a positive answer, which CPU's are compatible with it? Also, I bought an 8gb RAM, and installed it on my notebook, and it says that I have 12 GB of ram, but I read somewhere else that I can only have 8 GB of ram on my notebook... this means that what the system says is a lie and thus I still can only use 4gb of ram of the 12 that it shows? Thanks in advance.

Hi Snipercat94,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per the query we understood that you are looking for CPU & memory up-gradation for your Lenovo G480.
Yes, you can up-grade the processor and the list is available in Hardware Maintenance Manual you can check it on page 101.
It is good to know that G480 is detecting 12 GB of RAM, and as per the OS it is showing 4 GB RAM that means you system is having 32bit Operating System, suggest you to install 64bit Operating System.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Hemanth Kumar

I'm using mac pro 3,1. can I update processor and ram as sam as mac pro 5,1?

I'm using mac pro 3,1. I would like to upgrade to mac pro 5,1. However, I don't want to buy the new mac pro machine. I want to ask about the case I just want to upgrade the mainboard and ram only for cheaper price. I don't know that is possible or not. If yes, how much for the upgrade cost?

$2100 for Special 5,1 2.8
pull the 2.8 and slap in a 6-core 3.33 W3680
Wait and save, you will wish you had when Ivy Bridge has PCIe 3.0 and everything
Read what IDF and Intel are showing for 2012
There isn't as huge a jump in 5,1 as I think you assume.
Get some SSDs, RAM, PCIe 6G card
And you should look into 5770 or better which you can take full advantage of.

Role of graphics card, processors and ram in conversions?

Does anyone know what role if any a computers graphics card, processing power and ram has in the quality of conversions? I don't mean cases where a computer is unable to run a program (or handle a conversion in a reasonable time period). I mean will the same conversions (same settings, files, formats) look better if done on more powerful computers. I'm using final cut studio and downconverting from HD to SD using quicktime and converting from PAL to NTSC using compressor.
my specs are 2 2.6 processors, 4 ram,
graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT with 512MB of GDDR3 SDRAM and dual-link DVI

What compressor settings do you recommend?
The best workflow I've come up with is qucktime conversion from HDV PAL to SD 10-bit PAL, then compressor conversion from 10-bit Pal to DVDPR0 50 NTSC.
By coincidence I decided to try the initial conversion (HDV to 10-bit) this morning on compressor (but I didn't change the frame rate; i didn't know they were relavant for HD downconvert; I only been change them for the PAL-NTSC conversion).
At first glance, the compressor 10-bit conversion doesn't look better than the quicktime conversion (due to the frame rate settings?). I don't know for sure because I haven't sent it back to compressor for PAL-NTSC conversion and on to DVD SP.
One issue I'm worried about is the dimensions. quicktime's 768 x 576 (preserve aspect ratio checked; letterbox selected) was the only dimension setting that produced a film that looked right (on the dvd; it's squished in final cut). I don't see that option in compressor. I suppose I could type it in the frame size boxes.
Anyway, I would be most grateful for answers to these questions. I've spent a few weeks on this and am past the point of frustration. I just plod along, zombie-like, trying a few different things every day, dimly hoping to hit the jackpot eventually. Actually, I've been planning on trying to downconvert using my HDV/DV deck (print to tape in HDV; then change settings to downconvert and capture as DV). Would that help?
how do pro studios handle downconverting? What kind of hardware do they use? I'm an independent filmmaker, working on a small budget for the time being, but eventually, once the film is over and (hopefully) I have more money, I'll be willing to pay for a good pro conversion. Do you know what that costs? The film will be 80 minutes long.
thanks again for your help.

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)—

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%!!

Upgrade processor or ram

I am purchasing a new 21.5 imac. The more expesive one of the two. I have enough cash flow to make one upgrade. My question is should I upgrade the processor to the 2.8 quad i7 or upgrade the RAM to 8 gig? I am going to be using the system mainly for FCP video editing. I also be running a second monitor. Which one do you think would be the most benificial? Any advice will be greatly appricieated.
thanks,
Matt

Since RAM is reasonable and easily installed by you, I'd go for the better processor; you can get RAM later (and you probably want to buy it from reputable vendors such as OWC (macsales.com) or Crucial at substantial savings).
