Wanting to upgrade processor on PowerMac G4

Hi, I have a (Graphite) PowerMac G4 350 mhz. It's a PowerPC 2.8 (AGP Graphics). I want to upgrade the Processor. I found this upgrade.... http://www.newertech.com/products/maxpower47.php Would this work for my specific Mac?
When I went to the OWC site for this processor, trying to find my specific PowerMac, they have a choice for a
PowerMac 1,2 -Apple PowerMac G4 PCI Graphics "YIKES" 350MHz 1999
or a
PowerMac 3,1 -Apple PowerMac G4 AGP Graphics "Sawtooth" 350MHz 1999
The thing that is confusing me is the numbers after the PowerMac... 1,2 and 3,1.......
mine is a PowerMac 2.8 G4 35MHz, AGP Graphics (Sawtooth? I am assuming in the name for the AGP Graphics)
I did ask their contact center and they told me no, my computer was not able to be upgraded...but with my computer having the AGP graphic, I don't see why not. So, I thought I would ask some Mac people that may have upgraded their G4 processors. This is kind of a hobby project for me.
Thanks in advanced.
Cindy

OK, heres what I got with the screen grab
My serial number isn't even listed.
And on the back of my computer, my serial number ends with a HLA, which comes up on the everymac site as a PowerMac G4 400Mhz... but mine is not a 400mhz.
I also couldn't find my EMC# 1810 anywhere.
So I can't really find a yes or no if my computer is a 1,2 or a 3,1

Wants to upgrade processor for HP Pavilion 15-e015tu

Hi, I currently have Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3230M CPU @ 2.60GHz installed in my Laptop. So can i upgrade it to "Intel® Quad Core® i7-4702MQ 2.20-GHz processor (SC turbo up to 2.90-GHz; 1600-MHz FSB, 6.0-MB L3 cache, 37 W) " or "Intel Quad Core i7-3632QM 2.20GHz processor (SC turbo up to 3.2GHz; 1600-MHz FSB, 6.0-MB L3 cache, 35 W)"

Only the i7-3632QM. You can only have the 3rd gen processor not the 4th gen because you have the HM76 chipset and not the HM86 chipset. If this is "the Answer" please click "Accept as Solution" to help others find it.

I want to upgrade my processor to a dual 1ghz or higher. What is compatible

I want to upgrade my Power Mac G4 533MHz processor to a better one. I see plenty of them for sale on e-bay but I am not sure which are compatible. I have seen (Apple Power Mac G4 MDD 1.25GHz DP processor) and (Apple Power Mac G4 Quicksilver 733MHz CPU Processor) and (Apple Power Mac G4 1.42ghz Processor Module CPU 1.42ghz). I dont know if the MDD is compatible or the quicksilver. I have googled this topic many times but have seen conflicting answers.
Thank you for your help.

In the link japamac posted, scroll down to the heading, "12 Volt Power Connector for 4th Mount Point". If you click on any of the small pictures, they will be shown much larger. This picture shows how the author used a nut and short bolt to fix a "loop" or "spade" connector on a wire to supply the required 12 Volts to the fourth lug on these faster processors. No soldering needed, and can be undone in a jiffy.
There is one more issue you may face if your old processor has the cooling fan powered off two pins on the processor module. The new processor will not have those pins, and you will need a 12 Volt fan adaptor (also off a Hard Drive power connector, or even the same power connector) to run the cooling fan.
Some of these adapters have Red, Black, and Yellow wires (instead of the expected Red and Black only). The yellow wire is an RPM output from the fan, and can be safely ignored.

I am on an iMac6,1 and on OS 10.5.8 and I want to upgrade the OS. Can I load Lion on my machine, and how do I go about doing it.. I have everything backed up.

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
OS 10.6 Snow Leopard is once again available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

Upgrading processor on my HP Pavilion g6-1c45dx Notebook PC

Hello, I've been looking into making my Laptop run smother/play better and wanted to upgrade from my A4 processor (2.5GHz/1.9GHz VISION A4 Technology from AMD with AMD Dual-Core A4-3300M Accelerated Processor) to an A6 or A8 procesor and I was wondering if it could be done. I have looked throught the manuel and found parts that I *think* can work but i was hoping to have someone shed some light on the subject.

Hi,
According to a manual for G6 laptops it is possible:
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02968637.pdf
AMD A8–3500M (2.4 GHz/1.5 GHz, 4MB L2 cache), Quad 35 W
AMD A6–3400M (2.3 GHz/1.4 GHz, 4MB L2 cache), Quad 35W
are listed. Look for the part numbers in the service guide and then use them on google to find the cheapest one..

I want to upgrade my macbook pro with new mac pro (2011).any ideas?

i want to upgrade my mid 2010 mac pro with the latest one. what i need to do for this?

you can upgrade the processor easily if it is a single socket to W3680 for mere $619

I want to upgrade my video card in my HPE H8-1020 - It is a Eyefinity Radeon HD6570

I want to upgrade my video card in my HPE H8-1020 - It is a Eyefinity Radeon HD6570. I want to upgrade to a professional monitor for photo editing and would like to know what is available?

Jimg-evv, welcome to the forum.
What is the make/model of the monitor that you want to buy. I will provide the information for you, but it would help me to know more about the monitor.
You can upgrade the video card. However, most mid-level cards require at least 400W to operate properly. The power supply unit (PSU) in the computer is 300W. A card that would work for your needs would require a PSU upgrade, as well.
I recommend at least 500W; 600W would be even better because it would allow for future upgrades. I like OCZ and Corsair PSU's.
You would need a PCI Express x16 video card. I like XFX, EVGA, Sapphire and PNY in that order. If you upgrade the PSU, this card should work for you.

I want to upgrade my laptop ?

I want to upgrade my laptop 3000 C200 ( processor , Vega , cash memory )

Hi Phil:
Specifications
The top processor compatible is Intel Core i5-480M processor (2.66 GHz, SC turbo up to 2.93 GHz, 3 MB L3), Dual 35 W for your system board & chipset. For upgarding to the top 2nd generation processor - you have to get a new board as listed in the Manual : this may not be wise to do cost-wise. You may better buy a brand new laptop with better specs.
The 1GB dedicated AMD graphics is the best your model series can have.

I want to upgrade my hp pavilion dv4000 having p/n EW874EA#ABV

i want to upgrade my hp pavilion dv4000 having p/n EW874EA#ABV

Your options are extremely limited. Here is a list of the range of specs.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00642641&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
The big issue is the single core Pentium M (aka Centrino) processor, the max of 2 gigs of memory and the Intel GMA900 video which is not capable of Aero desktop effects.
This laptop was not capable of handling Windows Vista, let alone 7, 8, 8.1 and soon, Windows 10. There is just no amount of money you can put into it to make it useable in today's computing environment.
Sorry to have to carry bad news. Any new laptop, even one at the very bottom price point, will blow the dv4000 away.
