What power increase am I looking at if I upgrade my processor?
I have a 2ghz single core processor, a GM965 chipset, it is not too powerful at all. Escpecially for today use. I need to upgrade my processor, so what performace increase would I get from my current processor, the Intel® Celeron® Processor 550 (1M Cache, 2.00 GHz, 533 MHz FSB) to the intel® core™2 extreme processor x7900 (4m cache, 2.80 ghz, 800 mhz fsb)? I am excited as I have had this laptop since 2009 and am dying for more computing power. My laptop is the Lenovo n200 3000. Am I looking at a massive increase? Also I run GTA San Andreas at 24 fps, will that increase with a higher processor? Or is it dependent on my old graphics card (unfortunately unapgradeable)? I am running Windows 7 Ultimate x86, I have these other options too: intel® core™2 extreme processor x9000 (6m cache, 2.80 ghz, 800 mhz fsb) intel® core™2 duo processor t9500 (6m cache, 2.60 ghz, 800 mhz fsb) intel® core™2 duo processor t9300 (6m cache, 2.50 ghz, 800 mhz fsb) intel® core™2 duo processor l7700 (4m cache, 1.80 ghz, 800 mhz fsb) intel® core™2 duo processor u7500 (2m cache, 1.06 ghz, 533 mhz fsb) socket p intel® core™2 duo processor u7500 (2m cache, 1.06 ghz, 533 mhz fsb) socket m intel® core™2 duo processor t8300 (3m cache, 2.40 ghz, 800 mhz fsb) intel® core™2 duo processor t8100 (3m cache, 2.10 ghz, 800 mhz fsb) intel® celeron® processor 550 (1m cache, 2.00 ghz, 533 mhz fsb) intel® core™2 duo processor u7600 (2m cache, 1.20 ghz, 533 mhz fsb) socket m intel® core™2 duo processor u7600 (2m cache, 1.20 ghz, 533 mhz fsb) socket p intel® core™2 duo processor u7700 (2m cache, 1.33 ghz, 533 mhz fsb) socket p intel® celeron® processor 560 (1m cache, 2.13 ghz, 533 mhz fsb) intel® celeron® processor 570 (1m cache, 2.26 ghz, 533 mhz fsb) intel® core™2 extreme processor x7800 (4m cache, 2.60 ghz, 800 mhz fsb) What would you recommend if not the one I want to upgrade to? Also what is the difference between the extreme and the normal processors? And cooling issues? Both the Tjunctions are rated as 100°C , what are the downsides? What else would I be looking forward to? Thanks.
Can I Upgrade the Processor in my laptop?
You can upgrade the CPU, since a Celeron B820 is a socketed processor and can therefore be easily replaced on the motherboard, but you cannot use an i3–530 to replace it. The B820 is a second-generation Core CPU, and its socket can only handle second and possibly third-gen Core mobile processors that match the TDP of the B820. The i3–530 is a first-gen “Nehalem” product that has a different pinout and requires different core logic.The good news is that your Celery is a 35W processor, so anything compatible that matches this TDP should work. In fact, your model of laptop shipped with Core i3 and even Core i5 processors as options instead of the Celeron.Anything off this list: http://www.cpu-world.com/Sockets... is compatible with your socket, but I would only consider CPU’s of 35W TDP or less, and only the i3 and i5 models that have a “2” as their first digit. You may not have BIOS support for the i7 processors or the models with a “3” as their first digit—those are Ivy Bridge, and not all laptop makers updated their BIOS for Ivy Bridge support. There’s not much difference between Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge models anyway.Do some research on your laptop and find out how easy (or not) it is to upgrade. If you’re comfortable with doing it yourself, great, but if not, see if you can find a professional to do the work for you. And ignore anyone who says it’s not worth the trouble. A 2c/4t Sandy Bridge is still very viable as a CPU.I should add this—it appears that the i5–3210m CPU shipped standard with many NP300E5C laptops. This is great news. That’s an Ivy Bridge CPU, and it’s an i5. You can buy those on eBay for $30 or less, and they will provide an enormous boost over what you have now. I strongly recommend it.
Should I upgrade memory or processor in a MacBook Pro?
The processor doesn't usually add that much in performance for basic computing. Adding extra cores can help for certain things, but just getting a speed bump which is the typical upgrade for MacBooks is not that crucial. I would get the extra RAM. In your specific use case I would think it would be even more important. I don't know what large means, and it's a little less important with an SSD, but more ram is always better. I'm a document border, and on my pro I could have gotten away with 256. You might want to look at what your are actually using. You probably think you need 512, and maybe you do. But if you are using Dropbox or something similar, I would really look at your usage and how frequently you are pulling up older files. A little smart organization and a use case that almost always has you connected to wifi might allow you to save a bit on the SSD and upgrade both RAM and the CPU. This really depends on you, but before I got the 2016 pro and really started looking at it, I would have never considered a smaller hard drive. But I could have done it. I know I may have just complicated your depiction a bit and I am sorry about that, but it was eye opening for me when I looked at it. Good luck!
Is it Worth Upgrading my Processor From Core2Duo E4500 to E7400?
Is it worth upgrading my Processor From Core2Duo E4500 @ 2.2Ghz to E7400 @ 2.8Ghz? My friend is buying a new pc and he wants to sell it to me, he'll me the motherboard that is compatible with the CPU (p5kpl-am), both for a total of $100.
Is it worth to upgrade SSD and RAM if my laptop’s processor is slow?
I recently shoved an SSD in this thing:The CPU in that thing is a five year old Pentium. It was a cheap computer when it was purchased years and years ago and time has not been kind to it. At all. The actual performance of the machine was atrocious. Unusable.I swapped the spinning drive for an SSD, handed it back to the user and he said it’s never been that fast.Why did I swap out the spinning drive? Because the system had reached a point where doing any form of I/O brought the system to its knees. Virus scan? Starts at 10:00 PM, still running at 8:00 AM. Windows Update? If it completed consider it a day long activity. Any I/O activity resulted in serious performance hits. It took the system between 7 and 15 minutes to reboot itself. Not pretty.It might have been fine to swap to another spinning drive but there was no reason to do so. SSDs of sufficient size are equivalent in price to what a cheap spinning drive would cost and you get all the benefits of an SSD.It resulted in an actual performance improvement. Same thing for my laptop. My travel laptop is a cheap little AMD A6 that I picked up mostly so I could have something to write Quora answers from while I was in bed recovering from surgery earlier this year. SSD did a lot to improve the #1 performance pain point which wasn’t CPU but was I/O.Will it always be worth it? No. It depends on what your actual performance problems are. But if you’re running out of RAM, that’s going to cause more paging which… causes disk I/O. If you’re bogged down with any kind of I/O, SSDs help with that. If your CPU is pegged at 100% for hours on end doing video transcoding… SSDs won’t help as much, sorry. But for most people, you’ll see a benefit.
Which fan do I need for my processor?
it would be better to purchase an original Intel fan if not you can purchase any other P4 support fan with heat sink you won't have any problem within Voltage ( all of them use 12V with 0.2A ) but it would be better to use a 0.6A ( these are written on the label of Fan ) but I recommend you to use a normal CPU fan (0.2 A) and a cases fan ( 8X8 ) near your fan if you have a desktop case : fix it above your CPU Fan if you have a tower case: fix it at the back of your case stright to the CPU fan. ! : use a fan which flows the air out ( Left to Right circleing ) because if the Temp in the case goes down CPU temp would go down too ( Ideal : 45 ~ 60 C ) and system would not put pressure on the CPU Fan to make CPU cooler and it leads to noise reduction too when CPU. Fan circles slower. GoodLuck
