I wish to upgrade my laptop dell inspiron 2500 cpu processor which at the moment my laptop runs on a just under 1 ghz processor [pentium three] chip.does anyone know my limits on what i can upgrade to as in a faster modern processor chipset compatible with my motherboard and without major soldering or mother board changes.

What should I expext the temps to be running at ... Seems hot... I could keep my 7900gs under 60c by keeping my 18kgui program runnin fans on high while playing Cod4 or CS:s... now the gpu peaks out at 70-72c...
Just recently upgraded my E1705 with a FX-2500
Flashed the unlocked BIOS with the 1.24 v GPU 500 -1200 clocks
3DMark06 came back @ 5180
Just wondering how this matches up with others here with a simular setup.
i have an m90 t520 with 4gb ram and fx2500m,runing vista ultimate with dx10.
i try to run crysis and i cant get it to run with very high and on high it barely runs, i updated my gpu nvidia driver to 7.15.10.9808 , and still cant run it good , i tried to get a modified inf but my laptop kept on giving me the blue screen and crashes everytime i try to run crysis or even 3dmark06
if anyone can provide a working inf or a good driver with the latest inf modified installed that would be great.
and maybe an answear on why i can run the damn game on very high with dx10 even though my laptop is more then qualified to run it
dell m90 , t5200 core 2 duo,4gb ddr2 5400,nvidia quadrofx2500,wxga+ 1440.900.
I just upgraded my compaq presario 2500 bios (the exact model is 2505EA) from KF.F.5 to KF.F.14 and the flasher didn't make a backup now the computer doesn't detect the momory upgrade I have anymore, it only detects the stock memory, so if anyone upgraded his/her computer bios and has a backup copy of bios version KF.F.5 and can direct me to a download link I'd be very grateful.
View 6 Replies View Relatedmy sound on my laptop just suddenly stopped working and it was fine last night. Sound does not come out of the speakers, headphone jack, nor can I record using on board mic or plug in mic. I have reinstalled drivers, used system restore and did about everything that I could think of. The exact model number is HP TX 2513Cl. Any help would be much appreciated as I do not have time to send this tablet in for repairs. (and I can't even imagine how long I would be talking to HP either)
View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently noticed that my 2530p (great laptop btw) runs about 10 degrees hotter (53-55C versus 40-45 C just idling) when it's in the dock as opposed to when it's just on my desk. Normally this isn't really a problem but when doing anything remotely taxing on the processor the CPU temp shoots up to 60-70C when it's in the dock.
So I searched around and there seems to be no mention of this anywhere on the Internet. I figured it might be an airflow issue. So, pulling the base off the dock it appears that the supposed vent through the right side of the dock (where most of the airflow is supposed to run) is blocked almost entirely by the sliding latch mechanism.
Is this just terrible design or is something broken? I considered drilling holes through the latching but it looks like there's flat cables running all over it.
Does anyone else have a 2530p with the 2400/2500 dock, and if so, do you have heatflow problems? Have you found anyway to fix them? I tried raising the dock up off my desk but that doesn't seem to help too much.
Bonus question: The S-video port on my dock doesn't work at all. Is this because the 2530p doesn't output s-video, or is my dock just broken?
gf gave me her old dell inspiron since she just bought a new laptop. CD drive wasnt working fixed that, just ordered a new battery from ebay.
Looking at the specs of the laptop I want to upgrade the ram from 1gb to 2, anyone know what type of ram and where to get it?
is it possible to upgrade the cpu?
If anyone has upgraded a dell inspiron 6000, it would be nice to talk to see how you got on.

Can only Dell upgrade my laptop with special RAM?..
I guess it would cost more and also I have to ship my laptop to them which means I will have no laptop for a period..
So can I just buy my own RAM and install myself?..
I've got a 4-year-old Inspiron 6000 with 256 MB of RAM. I really don't know the first thing about laptop hardware, so I have a few questions that I hope someone can help me answer.
My laptop has been running pretty slowly for a while now. I don't play video games or do much that would require a lot of memory, although I suspect that Norton AntiVirus slows things down a lot, and iTunes as well (although I don't know that for sure).
Since I only have 256 MB of RAM, I'm wondering if upgrading by adding 512 MB, 1 GB or 2GB would help much/at all. If so, my other questions would be: how much should I get? What specifically should I buy (brand name, model, anything--cheapest would be preferable)? And how do I install it?
I got a Dell Inspiron 1318 from Walmart when it first got on the market. I like the machine, a decent keyboard, upgraded the memory and it is all good - except for the T2390 CPU.
I read the service manual and saw you can upgrade the CPU. What is the maximum CPU you can use to replace the T2390 for this laptop?
If anyone has any used resources or a used CPU - let me know I am interested in buying.
I have an Inspiron 9300 with an 80GB IDE hdd. I have recently succesfully upgraded the RAM to 2gb. Im now looking to upgrade the HDD and would like to go for the Western Digital WD3200BEVE (320GB). I know there is something about the need to partition it as XP only sees up to 130GB but I also read somewhere that if you download HD Tune and if the 48 bit address box is checked then it will see the whole drive. As Im a bit of a newbie to all this, does that mean I can just pop the 320gb drive in and my system will see it straight away or will I have to partition it with no partition larger than 130GB?
Also does anyone know if the WD3200BEVE is the best one to go for in terms of performance and storage size?
I'm buying my girlfriend a refurbished 1420, and it comes with a dual core pentium (Blehc!). What C2D chips am I able to swap into this thing?
View 9 Replies View RelatedOk so i have the inspiron 1520 with core 2 duo 2.0ghz 2gb of ram and a 160gb hard drive
I will be upgrading the Ram to 4gb soon
and probably the HD to 500gb soon
but the question is what is the best graphics card that can replaces the 8400m GS that is in there now and how noticeable of a difference will it make?
I really need to know what compatible processors are avail for this Laptop my warranty is almost up and i want to spend about 300-400 bucks in upgrading the PROC and memory so would gladly appreciate some help i currently have the T7500 c2d 2.20
View 9 Replies View RelatedBeen looking at newegg lately and RAM is crraaazy cheap. I've been meaning to upgrade my RAM to 2 GB.
Currently I have a:
Inspiron 9300
1.83 ghz processor
1 GB RAM
256 mb GO geforce graphics card
Windows XP
I play games quite frequently so the RAM would be great. However, I've never upgraded my memory or computer as a matter of fact before.
My question is, how much RAM will my computer support. Should I opt to go for a 2 GB (2x1 GB), 4 GB (2x2GB), or 2 GB of 1 stick of RAM and keep 512 mb of my Dell RAM to try and get 2.5 gb of RAM? Is the last option feasible?
I have the extra RAM Kingstone 2x 4gb 1333 mhz . I tried to put it in my computer, but laptop did not turn on, and he honked a short range beep.
My configuration is:
i5-4200u, 6 gb RAM 1600 mhz, nvidia gt 750m
I'm running stock 2x 512 mb 533 Mhz ram right now.
I would like to upgrade but I can't find information about my motherboard ANYWHERE. It's not listed on the dell system specs website, either.
So, my question comes down to which would be better:
PC-5300 (667Mhz) ram with 4-4-4-12 timing or PC-6400 ram (800Mhz) with 5-5-5-18 timing?
What is the maximum speed of memory that the e1505 can use? If it's 667 Mhz, I'm of course going to go for the ram with faster timing, but if it's 800 Mhz then I'll go for the speed. I'm using a 2.0 GHz core 2 if it matters, and all I could find it bios is that it's a mm061 "system
I'm using a Pentium M (730) 1.6 GHz processor. For the moment instead of buying a new laptop I'm interested in upgrading the processor.
The Bios shows that it can detect and appears to be able to use a dual core processor but none of the 9300's were ever sold that way.
The motherboard uses a m-FCPGA socket. Does anyone know or has tried to use a dual core processor in this motherboard? I'm even curious as a project but,
if someone has info/data on this I would truly appreciate the info. I have a 250 GHz harddrive and 2GHz on the RAM. Looking to speed this thing up a bit before finally putting her out to pasture.
I have an Intel 1.6 ghz T2050 Core Duo, and I was wondering what sort of upgrades I can install to increase the performance of my laptop?
Can I install a faster Core Duo processor? Can I install a Core 2 Duo processor without changing the motherboard?
curious to find out what sort of upgrades I can install on my laptop,
I just bought a inspiron 1545 and after buying it I have a little bit of buyers remorse concerning the processor. I opted for the Intel Core 2 Duo T6500 at 2.1Ghz, but now I think I would have been better off with a faster processor as I am planning on keeping this laptop for as long as possible.
The two processors within my budget that I am looking to upgrade to are:
P8700 (2.53Ghz) (currently an option for the inspiron 1545 configuration)
or
P8800 (2.66Ghz)
My question is whether or not the inspiron 1545 can handle these processors? I know that on the spec page for the inspiron 1545 it says that it can handle any core 2 duo. I just want to make sure that is true. I tried asking a dell tech person but he was unsure/didn't really know anything.
In addition, would I be able to upgrade to a P9700 if I wanted to?
Some time ago I've bought Inspiron 1525 with T5250 CPU. It was performing well, except for any 3D gaming due to X3100 integrated video (the person who uses it doesn't play much, but still...).
So to make it handle at least simple games I've decided to upgrade CPU and purchased T8300 ES (QZOL) from eBay, this CPU is the same as normal T8300 but with twice as much cache. I would've purchased normal one, but it was cheaper from auction.
Yesterday I've installed it and I must say it works good, with a small utility I switched some games vertex processing to software and they're at least playable now .....
I got an Inspiron 1520 used at a great price for a family member, but it needs a little minor work, so I'm taking care of that before passing it on.
While I'm doing that (mainly a palmrest/trackpad replacement, and I'm upgrading its wireless, maybe even the CPU for grins),
I'm wondering something.
This model does not have the built-in webcam. Is it possible to upgrade it by finding a bezel/webcam/mic assembly on Ebay, and just hooking it up, or are there other parts that I'd need
i purchased a Inspiron 1545 laptop. now i wanted to increase some real estate of my screen and thinking of putting a 1080p screen. is there any 15.6" LED WUXGA screens for Inspiron laptop? nothing on eBay yet does Studio 15 WUXGA screen will work with this?

I have a Dell here that I just picked up free due to having a busted screen and a bad battery. Luckily I have a HUGE pile of dead laptops and had these parts!
The laptop says Inspiron 6400 on it but the service tag shows up as a E1505 on Dell's site. The service tag is 4Q38YB1 if that helps.
I put two 1gb DDR2-800 sticks in (though it comes up as 533MHz) and a 120gb SATA drive in.
I recently checked prices of laptop processors and found a 3.06ghz Pentium 4-M (socket 478, 533 fsb) for $55. This is the right socket, and I know the Inspiron 9300 can handle a 533 fsb, but is this processor going to work? I'm currently running the 1.6ghz at 533 fsb.
I know this processor was never an option for the 9300, hence the concern, but if it'll work for $55 why not? And, if it doesn't work, what is the highest I can move up to?
