What hardware upgrades can i do on my pavilion dv6700?

what hardware upgrades can i do on my pavilion dv6700? such as ram, cpu, hard drive, etc?

Hi,
As you already mentioned above, 2 items you can upgrade for your machine:
1. CPU: Please refer to the following book to find out processors supported from day 1:
h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01295877.pdf
2. RAM & HDD: Please check this:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware/HP-pavillion-dv6700-hard-drive-and-RAM/td-p/95023
Probably spending a bit more money for a new machine is much better than upgrading the old machine.
Good luck.

HT1338 What hardware upgrades can I do to a Macbook Pro?

Can the CPU be upgraded and what is the max ram?

An SSD replaces your hard drive. Unfortunately they are kind of small in comparison, so you may need to stick with a hard drive. A SSD uses flash memory like a USB drive, except in place of your hard drive. The speed increase is phenominal. This will replace your drive so you will need to reload OS X which is easy thanks to Internet Recovery.
Kingston makes a 64GB model that is decent, I have one in an older original MacBook and it feels so much snappier. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820139949

They vary in all different capacities and speeds. Not all SSD's are created equal.
Follow the instructions in your MacBooks manual to upgrade the drive.
You will need a 2.5 inch SATAIII SSD if you choose to go that way.
Between the SSD and the RAM upgrade you have a beast of a machine.

Need help trying to determine what hardware I can run for develpoment testing purposes for Solaris Sparc 11.2

I have a large client that is looking to upgrade from Solaris 5.9 up to Solaris 11.2. I need to find some hardware I can run in house to do development, run tests and run setups/configuration on a 64 bit Sparc machine. I know Solaris 11 dropped support for some of the UltraSPARC II, III, IV series. However I need to have a setup in shop locally for me to work on. Any ideas on if buy a sun blade workstation or another workstation that I could get Solaris 11.2 installed? I don't necessarily need the GUI desktop but the text/curses based setup is all I need. Any ideas on where to go? Seems like the cutoff from Solaris 10 to 11 was a pretty big one regarding legacy support of older hardware. Also I know there are x86 distributions of Solaris 11.2 but I have 3rd party software that is compiled on Sparc.

Have you seen the HCL?
I write most of my labs on Virtual Box, and also use a few older 5440s and some new M10s when I want to shoe LDOMs.

2006 Macbook Pro Core 2 Duo- What hardware upgrades could I do to use all the Mountain Lion features?

Apple MacBook Pro "Core 2 Duo" 2.16 15" Specs
Identifiers: Core 2 Duo/Late 2006 - MA609LL - MacBookPro2,2 - A1211
My old MBP will not operate on Mountain Lion, curious if I could upgrade harware to get all functions from Mountain Lion. From what I have read I need video card upgrade and system must be bootable in kernal 64bit mode. Any recomedations on hardware?

Nope. Besides the labor and parts cost, every successive model rearranges things around so the logic board is not interchangeable between models. It is cheaper to buy a more recent Mac that does fulfill requirements, even if it is not new; check the refurbished section in the Apple Store.

G580 Intel I3-2348M, what cpu upgrades can be done?

I'm writing to you, because I have a G580 /20150/ laptop with an i3-2348M CPU and I want to upgrade it to a higher level CPU ,i5/i7 if it possible. I know that my motherboard has a 988b socket, so I want to ask you, please tell me the list of those CPU-s , which are compatibile with my configuration. I'm attaching a photo of my laptop's specs. I1m looking forward to your answers!

hi simond930203,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
Thisis the Hardware Maintenance Manual of that system
http://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles_pub/lenovo_g480_g485_g580_g585_g780_hmm_v1.0_english.pdf
Check this manual at pg. 101 for compatible CPU that would work on the system
Also use that manual as your reference on replacing the part.
Make sure to check the Chipset model of your system and check that chipset model with Intel website and confirm that the CPU you want is listed there.
Regards
Solid Cruver

Macbook Pro hardware upgrade limitations ?

I have a Macbook Pro model A1211, 15inch, 2.33Ghz. I am very happy with the performance, but I was wondering what hardware upgrades may be possible in the future, such as the ATI video, audio, HD, etc.
Regards,
David Mitchell

Your only upgrades are RAM (user replaceable) and HD (not user replaceable) as well as anything you can stick in the ExpressCard/34 slot.

HT4972 I am using iphone 3g and it is having currently IOS 4.1 version,till what IOS version can i upgrade ? please help me many of my apps are not working esp whatsapp.

am using iphone 3g and it is having currently IOS 4.1 version,till what IOS version can i upgrade ? please help me many of my apps are not working esp whatsapp.

iOS 4.2.1 is the latest version of iOS for the 3G.
Facebook and Whatsapp both require 4.3 or higher.
If you want to use those apps, either use the old version that should be in your iTunes library or upgrade the hardware to a 3GS or newer device.

Can I set up a 2 (or 3) room audio system? I have iphone 3, iphone 4 and ipad 2 and need to know what hardware, if any, I need for this (airport express?, apple TV?) Also, would I use icloud or home sharing?

I need to know what hardware, if any, I need to do this (airport express?, apple TV?)
I simply want to send music from my itunes to 2 different rooms at the same time. Is it possible? I have iphone3, iphone4 and ipad2 if that helps.
Also, would I use icloud or home sharing? Sorry for the noob question, any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

The answer is not if you use iTunes.
The TC is NOT an iTunes server.. it is not a media device at all. It is a backup location for Time Machine.
You need a computer in the network which stores the iTunes library and you can then play it via the ipad.
A mini with a large USB drive plugged in will work fine.. it doesn't need to be new.. a couple of years old mini will work just as well.
As an extention to this, can we use multiple Airport expresses plugged into mutiple sound systems to simultaneously access different music from the same time capsule?
I am not sure.. there will be network limitations to this.
Look up how to use itunes in a network.

You would do better perhaps posting the question in iTunes section.. if as I guess you are actually using iTunes.

HT4009 What about upgrading? I can't do that from where I live w/o connecting to my hd. Now with the new changes to ITunes, I don't see how I can upgrade thru the traditional route I took b4. Now what do I do?

What about upgrading apps on your IPhone? I can't do that from where I live w/o connecting directly to my laptop. With Apple's new Itunes page, I don't see how I can navigate successfully now to acheive the same result as before. Hmmm. I would appreciate some quick guidance. Thanks.

With iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar that used to show on previous versions of iTunes via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC. You can then select the Apps part of your iTunes library on that sidebar and on the right-hand side of iTunes click the Check For Updates button at the bottom to see if any of your apps have updates available. Then connect your phone and select it on the sidebar, and on the Apps tab on the right-hand side click the Sync button at the bottom of it to copy the updates over

What hard drive can I upgrade with on iMac intel early 2010

what hard drive can I upgrade with on iMac intel 27 inches early 2010

You can install any 3'5" SATA hard drive on a Late 2009 iMac. Have a look at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/internal_storage/hard_drives_and_SSD
Note that Late 2009 and later iMacs have got the temperature sensor inside the hard drive. If you install a hard drive without a sensor, fans won't work correctly. Read > http://blog.macsales.com/2751-proprietary-cable-can-put-the-brakes-on-upgrading- late-09-imacs

I am putting together a proposal for a Final Cut Pro Workstation to use with a tapeless HD camera. Can anyone suggest the best camera (in the 5-10,000 dollar range) ? What hardware and software should I include in the package?

I am putting together a proposal for a Final Cut Pro Workstation to use with a tapeless HD camera. Can anyone suggest the best camera (in the 5-10,000 dollar range) ? What hardware and software should I include in the package?

This is quite an open suggestion, but here are some ideas which might get you started. There are good HD cameras in your price range from Sony, Panasonic and Canon (and maybe other manufacturers). Tapeless formats vary. I have only worked with Sony XDCAM which seems pretty good to me. File sizes for material shot at 35MBS are not too huge and, with the free Sony transfer and conversion programme, are easy to bring into the computer via USB direct from the camera or from a fairly inexpensive converter. The Sony XDCAM EX3 can produce results well up to broadcast quality.
As to hardware, you'll need a powerful MAC - iMac, Macbook Pro or MacPro with 4GB or more of RAM and a good video card. Softwarewise, FCPX is quite a bit cheaper than FC Studio 3 and of course it's 64bit and can make better use of multi-core machines than FCP7. It's also designed to handle HD formats with less hassle than FCP7 and is matched to the latest versions of Motion and Compressor. But you'd probably be wise to search reviews of FCPX before you make your choice - it has some issues.
A good HD monitor will be essential and, for colour correction etc, you may want to consider a second monitor or HD TV foe editing. ( A MacPro is generally the best machine to connect a second monitor to).
This should give you a good editing system, but there are many other things you could add (Photoshop, professional sound monitors, etc)
Hope this helps a bit.

Since my macbook pro is an intel core duo but not a core 2 duo, I cannot upgrade to Yosemite. So... what OS X can I upgrade to with this computer?

Since my macbook pro is an intel core duo but not a core 2 duo, I cannot upgrade to Yosemite. So... what OS X can I upgrade to with this computer? Thanks for the input.

Intel Core Duo is a 32-bit processor, so the latest Mac OS X version you can install is Mac OS X Snow Leopard -> http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
You are running Mac OS X 10.6.8, so you are already running the most recent Mac OS X version for your computer.

Can I make any hardware upgrade to make my Mac Pro1,1 compatible with OS X Mavericks?

Hi!
I have got a Mac Pro1,1 Dual-Core Intel Xeon, 2,66 GHz, 11 Gb RAM running OS X 10.7.5.
I would like to know if there is any chance to make any hardware upgrade to make my Mac Pro compatible with Mavericks, maybe a Processor upgrade.
I miss all the synchronization features, iMessage and all the goodies Mavericks brought
Thank you very much!

I'm sorry you can't. Because it has a 32bit EFI. To run Mountain Lion or Mavericks the Mac needs a 64bit EFI.

Upgraded hardware and can't find my site to edit.

OK. I'm an idiot. I just upgraded my hardware. I have an internet site which I created on iWeb and has been up for a year. My problem now is that, since my hardware upgrade, when I open iWeb my site does not open for editing. I can't find it.
Where is it hiding?
Lost moron here.
Help appreciated.
Harry

...And here are a couple of related Apple documents:
"All the information iWeb needs to create your websites is in one file called "Domain." You can copy this file to another computer so that, for example, you can work on your site from home and at work..."

A Core Solo or Core Duo Mac can go to Mac OS X 10.6.8. A Core 2 Duo or better can go to Mac OS X 10.7.2.
