Zv5000- compatible cpu upgrades

I was wondering where I could find a list of compatible cpu's for my zv5000 (more specifically my zv5320ca). Also, I have a 1gb ram chip in visible upgrade slot and I was wondering if I could remove the hidden 256mb ram chip and install a 1gb ram chip in it's place? I have found multiple websites claiming my system can handle 2gb (2x1gb)  but system specs on hp website claim the system can hold a max of 1280MB. Thank you for your help and time.

You can go up to a Pentium 4 3.2 ghz like this one:
processor specs
Yes you can run 2 sticks of 1 gig laptop ddr333 for total 2 gigs. The second memory module is under the keyboard and not too hard to get at.
Manual
Page 5-31 is where you want to look for the procedure to replace the "hidden" memory. The Manual also shows how to get at the processor.

  • CPU upgrade on Satellite L30-101

    Hi, I have a Toshiba Satellite L30-101. I've upgraded the RAM successfully to 2GB (2x 1GB) but I'm finding it incredibly hard to get information on processor replacements.
    The laptop has the latest BIOS on it (3.10-WIN - 19/02/08) but when trying to find information regarding whats in it I'm hitting brick walls. Firstly the site > http://www.toshiba-tro.de/biosinfo/ < doesn't have my laptop on it,
    Product Type: Notebook
    Family: Satellite
    Product Series: Satellite L Series
    Model: ? unknown
    Short Model No: ? unknown
    I did hope I could stick an Intel Duo in but with the ATI chipset, I'm pretty sure it wont work but again without knowing whats within BIOS, compatible.. I'm lost. The only processor I can find which may work, same package, FSB, socket is an Intel Core Solo Processor T1350 which kicks out 1.86 GHz, not a massive difference and I'm sure it can't be the only replacement option.
    Could someone and staff please help me with getting hold of BIOS info and compatible processors for my laptop. The current Intel Celeron M Processor 410 kicking out 1.46 GHz isn't good enough for Vista (cert on laptop) and basic multi tasking. Its lagging way too much even after a good tune up, ram upgrade, HD upgrade to 7200RPM. I'm in need of a processor upgrade but as mention finding it incredibly hard to obtain information of which would be compatible.
    Sincerely,
    Gourcuff

    Hello
    In my opinion your attempt to replace CPU is wrong. Why? Satellite L30 is not designed to offer some fabulous performance and it is designed for everyday usage. Best evidence for this was the price. It was not so expensive.
    Can you please tell us why do you want to have new CPU? Do you use some special software?
    Back to CPU replacement. As you probably know mobile computers have limited upgrade options and it is related to RAM and HDD upgrade. It is definitely unprovided for CPU upgrade and it is not supported. Specific design, especially cooling system is designed for certain CPU.
    Due to all this you will not be able to find any relevant info about CPU replacement.
    Check please this Toshiba document - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

  • 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/le​novo_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.

  • Dv6 2129el Cpu upgrade list

    It is possible to upgrade the cpu of a dv6 2129el and in case which are the compatible cpu?
    I found this: support manual
    but this does not list my cpu so i don't know if it is reliable or not.
    (mine is a i5 m430)
    Thanks a lot!

    Hello Simol87.  I understand you're wondering if you can upgrade your CPU.
    It is possible but usually not a very easy upgrade.  You will face problems such as locating a supported CPU (this information is often not readily available).  It is possible that you'd also need to replace the cooling system and the power supply as well as the stock parts might not be able to handle the upgraded CPU.  If you would like to upgrade your notebook for better performance you'd likely be better off looking to a Solid State Drive or adding more RAM.  A CPU upgrade on a notebook is not suggested.
    I hope this helps.  Have a great day!

  • IdeaPad N580, CPU upgrade, CPU Compatibility

    Hi All,
    I have a IdeaPad N580 that has Intel Pentium B960 2-core CPU (socketed), which does not support  virtualization. I need to upgrade the CPU to have virtualization support in CPU but I do not know how to choose a compatible CPU. This is because I cannot check compatible CPUs without knowing motherboard brand and model (I cannot figure out them). However,  according to Hardware Maintenance Manual  Page 89, No:11, Intel I3-2370M or Intel I5-3210M are supported in N580. 
    Is my interpretation correct? Can I buy Intel I5-3210M and replace it?
    Thanks, Jim

    I have an Ideapad N580. I replaced the Pentium B960 with an  I5-3210M, and it workes perfectly.
    The right hinge had broken (actualy the screw mounts for it in the bottom of the case broke). So since I had to totally take apart the laptop to replace the bottom, I decided to order a used i5 and install it too. Works perfectly. 
    Highly recomended. It is noticably faster now.

  • CPU Upgrade questions

    I was wondering if my laptop cpu can be upgraded from a intel pentium to a i5 and if so where do i find out the compatible CPU's?

    Sorry it cannot be without also replacing the motherboard. See page 17 of the Manual here: Manual Celeron and Pentium models use a different motherboard so the best you can do is upgrade to the Pentium 2030M which is only .1 ghz faster than the 2020M you have. Installing a new motherboard and processor is not going to make financial sense. If this is "the Answer" please click "Accept as Solution" to help others find it.  

  • OS X Tiger and CPU Upgrades

    I have a 400 MHz G4. I primarily use it for FCP 2 and music but have been having problems seeing my Que Fire firewire cdrw. I have thought about a CPU upgrade and want to add a DVD+-RW to copy projects out to DVD's instead of tapes. With the trouble of having to hack a driver in 9.2 to get a DVD unit to work - would it be easier to upgrade to OS X Tiger to get around the DVD issues and get new features but am I only going to have more issues because of the upgraded CPU. The Apple specs say OS X is not compatible with upgrades but the manufacturers of the cpu upgrades say they are. Several of the new OS X DVD units I've looked at require at least 500MHz. (I posted earlier on the OS 9 forum - my old cdrw works on a new FW equipped laptop with Tiger.) I'm trying to get some more life out of my old G4 because I can't afford to buy a new G5. Any suggestions???? Thanks

    You will triple the stated clock speed, but in no way
    will the machine run 3 times as fast. You'll be lucky
    to notice much change at all.
    Yes you're right, in real world terms the machine won't be 3 times as fast, as you're still stuck with the same 100MHz system bus and memory etc, but I think that saying you'll be lucky to notice much change at all is a little unfair.
    I recently upgraded the processor in one of my Macs and the difference was very noticeable, from reduced boot/rendering/encoding times to greater all round responsiveness.
    If you're moving from OS 9 to OS X and you don't upgrade the processor, I expect OS X will feel pretty sluggish in comparison, although like you say more RAM will help.

  • Pavilion g6-1262sa CPU upgrade v2, Sandy Bridge = Ivy Bridge?

    Hi, thanks to the Pavilion g6-1262sa maintenance and servicing manual and this magnificient forum I've recently found out that replacing my i3-2330m is possible with all sandy bridge processors up to i7-2620m.
    Theese questions may sound silly but I continued my research and I've got couple more ideas to confront with reality.
    I do realise that compatibility is not only matter of fitting the same socket but also bios installed on certain motherboard, however:
    1. Do you think it would be possible to swap Sandy Bridge (2nd gen) i3-2330m for some Ivy Bridge (3rd gen) i5 -3210m? 
    2. Is the 32nm to 22nm manufacturing technology enough difference on it's own (even if the rest of architecture is the same) to prevent this from working? 
    3. Is bios of my g6 motherboard somehow identyfying installed processor? (if it's not on "the list" it will simply not run?" or is it only technical compatibility matter?
    According to some statements which I found on some IT forums and sites (and some self researched facts):
    Socket: both processors are compatible with BGA1023 socket. (at least that's what I found, if someone could confirm I would be grateful)
    Architecture difference: "The 3rd generation is called "Ivy Bridge," and is basically a copy of Sandy Bridge manufactured on a smaller scale, or die. However, Intel also focused on beefing up the integrated graphics in this generation."
    TDP: both are 35 W
    Cores: both are 2 physical (4 Virtual - thanks to hyperthreading I guess?)
    Power consumption: "the Ivy Bridge CPUs also use less power", "Ivy Bridge consumes a little less power; around 10w i think."
    Temperature: i5 -3210m goes 5*C higher than i3-2330m - shouldn't do much difference
    Looking forward to some replies, RacA
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    It is not a technical (socket) incompatibility since as you likely know Ivy Bridge and Sandy Bridge are backward compatible on most desktop motherboards. However, HP has only implemented 2d gen Intel Core processor compatibility on the HM65 Express chipset which yours has. Motherboards that will support 3rd gen CPUs use the HM77 chipset. There is no other motherboard that will fit in your chassis. 
    Your analysis above, which was pretty good, left out the chipset, which you always have to think about when assessing upgrade possibilities:
    http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-Intel_%28chipsets%29/HM65_Express.html
    The HM65 does support a couple 3rd gen CPUs but none of them is on HP's list for your model. You could try one of the ones listed in the link I gave but I think there is a very small chance they will work.

  • AMD Athlon 64 3800+ cpu upgrade to AMD Athlon 64 X2

    Hello everyone,
    First of all, I have been to cpu-upgrade.com and typed in my current (CPU)--> AMD Athlon 64 3800+ 2.40GHz (motherboard)--> ASUS A8M2N-LA (Naos) GL6. 
    According to the website, my AM2 Socket (940pin) is capable of upgrading to a Dual Core, Anyone know if that site is accurate or not? Any help would be nice. I need to get away from this single core. 
    1) Some CPU models require a BIOS upgrade, which a BIOS upgrade for this board is not available.
    2) A lot of X2 Dual Cores work either using a 4400+, 4600+, and so on....
    I do have a 550watt PSU installed, also I am using MSI Nvidia GeForce GT620 PCI-express 16x graphics, not using onboard.
    I have read that some BIOS' upgrades terminate the onboard video, is that true? Basically, whatever I already have installed is current and up to date with all video/sound drivers, etc... If anybody very knowledgable knows for sure if an AMD Athlon 64 X2 will work in my system that would be nice. My specs below......
    OS: Windows Vista Home Basic (32bit)
    CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3800+ 2.40GHz
    RAM: 2GB (GDDR2)
    PSU: 550watt (all 20+4 for main cable to motherboard connected using all 24 pins + 4pin connector for CPU? I believe.
    Sound: Realtek HD ALC888 High Definition Audio
    Video: MSI Nvidia GeForce GT620 (GDDR3 with 2GB Video Memory).
    Only thing I am bottle necking on is the CPU, and I would love to upgrade to Dual Core, once again, thank you for the help.

  • Is CPU upgrade on Satellite 2410-303 possible?

    My Satellite 2410-303 has Pentium 4 Mobile 1.7GHZ processor. I want to upgrade its processor to Pentium 4 Mobile 2.8GHZ. I think that it is possible because its upper models have faster processor and that is unique difference between them.
    Please, help me for this question and tell me is it possible?

  • Satellite M40x will not boot up after CPU upgrade test

    I have an M40x Laptop. I took the CPU out of it to replace it with another to test the computer booted up fine so I shut down and took it out and put it's original CPU back in, and it would not boot. Now it will not boot up at all with either of the CPU's all. When I turn on the power all I get is a white screen for a few seconds and the laptop shuts itself back down. Both the CPU's are good because I have since tested them in other computers to make sure that was not the problem.
    Anyone have any ideas on what is causing this??

    Im not surprised.
    As far as I know Toshiba does not support any CPU upgrades and it's not advisable to do something like that.
    Its a fact that the CPU replacement on the notebooks is not easy and mostly not recommended.
    The processors used in portables are connected to the system board using a process called TCP (Tape Carrier Package). This is a permanent connection method and is used in the interests of miniaturization and heat dissipation.
    Did you assign the new heat paste? Its necessary and important if you want to connect the CPU again.
    So possibly this is a reason for the no booting.
    I think more details you will get from the service guys in your country

  • CPU upgrades

    I'd like to upgrade a tray-loading iMac with the CPU from one of the faster slot-loading ones - 350, 400, whichever.
    I'd also like to swap a 450 or 500 MHz CPU from a DV SE that had firewire into the earlier, ordinary slot-loading version, which didn't.
    Does anyone know if there's any reason there would be a problem doing either of these changes?
    For that matter, if the DV motherboard's okay, any reason I couldn't use the whole thing in the slot-loader? I think there's a video problem, but if that's just a monitor thing and not on the board, it shouldn't be an issue.
    Thanks

    you are correct, the slot loaders do not have a separate CPU card, its soldered directly to the logic board.
    There are CPU upgrades available for tray loaders (don't know if any are actually still produced anymore, but they do exist), but the cost usually just isn't worth it. You could get a used slot loader for the same amount,a nd a used eMac or mac mini for a little bit more.

  • 1.0/1.1 GHz G3 Powerlogix CPU Upgrades in Beige G3

    There have been very few postings of upgrades to the Powerlogix 1.0 and 1.1 GHz G3 CPU upgrades over at xlr8yourmac. Any of the upgraders here have any experience w/ this CPU upgrade in a Beige G3? Comments positive or negative? Problems?
    I'm currently running a 466 MHz CPU in a Beige MT and am looking for a little more quickness. I've already maxed out the RAM and am running a ATA-133 Maxtor HDD on a ATA-133 SIIG PCI card.

    Thanks for your comments. There are very few xlr8yourmac postings for the newer Powerlogix G3 upgrades in a Beige G3, but several for the B&W G3s. Likewise, xlr8yourmac's own CPU upgrade comparison using the new Powerlogix G3 upgrade was done w/ a B&W. The problem is that the B&W's were so different from the Beige, so quirky, and in fact so different from the front to the back of their production cycle that I wouldn't rely on their results as typical for the G3 upgrades. That said, most of the B&W upgrades w/ the Powerlogix 1/1.1 GHz IBM chip were favorable.
    I ruled out the G4 upgrades for my Beige based on the long string of horror stories of those early adopters of G4 upgrades for their Beige G3s. They may have solved those problems, but I decided some time back, based on various web discussion threads, that G4s and the Beige just don't live and play well together.
    It is true that the 66 MHz buss is starting to be a noticeable choke point. But, for the most part, speeding up what you can speed up, compensates for that problem. No, it can't make it into a new machine, but a used Mac at 933 MHz on ebay is going for almost $1K, and I can approach that performance for a lot less additional investment.
