Computer CPU Upgrade

no but I still fin it hard to belive that you are using that chisel and stone... nahh if anyone can do it... you can.

 

I have never done a laptop but i have built about 7 or 8 desktops. So you want to go to from Celeron to Dual core. I have not looked it up but are you looking at the 45 NM arcitecture with Hafnium insulator. Does the dual core have the same number of sockets as the single core chip? If the mobo is compatible the only other thing i can think of is that you may need to bump up the voltage to the cpu even though that design is supposed to be a low voltage design. But if it boots good and is stable dont worry about it. Of course you will need to get some more and faster ram to take advantage of that processor. How many sticks can you fit in that thing. Corsair has always been of good quality and usually faster than most other brands. That bad boy may put out a lot of heat, usually the smaller they get the more heat they put out. Are you running XP or Vista??

 

for some reason mine doesn't scream as much as it should anymore... have fun with the project.

 

Just wondering if you have the Intel active monitor on your computer. As long as they are both socket 478 everthing should be good and gravy. When it boots you should have no problems, it should boot as normal. If it keeps rebooting you may need to bump up your core voltage just a tad, but it looks like you did your homework and already have your ram upgraded. Just wondering what brand of ram and its latency that you are using.

 

yes if you look at the bottom of the page it shows CAS latency. thats what you want to look at, it shows you are running pc 5300 at 333mhz, which means the your computer is using is of 5 clock cycles at 333 mhz. Which by most standards is pretty slow, BUT you have ddr2 so you are doubling your bandwidth. Unless you are going to be playing extremely crazy games that have a lot of things going on at once or using multiple applications all at one time you should be just fine. What types of things do you use this computer for??

 

Sup? What motherboard model # and brand do you have? Only thing i can see stopping it would be the bus frequency of the motherboard, if the board can push only 233mhz bus then your processor won't work in that board.

 

Been busy Hustleing haha, check my dirt bike thread under off topics. I found your manual checking now.. toshiba satellite L35

lol, ya i just went throught it, that was pretty useless. One way to tell for sure is if you go into your bios and then advanced tab, it will show your processor and its current FSB front side bus frequency, you should see like 3 options 133, 233 333 mhz, if your options stop at 233mhz then i would say no you can't use it, but i did see some people trying to do this when i did a quick search and some for sale with a dual core so your probably good to go.
I would check the bios before buying the processor though. to get to your bios restart your computer and start hitting delete or F2 usually can get you there, don't change any settings in there though it's dangerous in there lol, when you exit it will say save changes and exit hit no, don't save and exit. That way you don't change anything when you go in.

 

oh ya, any laptop i have opened the processor is soldered in to the board and it can't be changed lol, just a thought.

 

ok so your processor is a 400mhz bus frequency which should mean your motherboard matches that and won't go higher than that What is the bus freqeuncy of the dual core processor? And is it soldered in to the motherboard lol.

Intel® Celeron® M processor 410

It should boot fine if the bus is right when you first turn it on, if not it will take you to the bios anyways and usually you can just let it go there then just exit but save changes and exit this time.

 

hmmmm, maybe bad news ranger lol. The processor is not soldered in at least but the FSB of that dual core is 533 mhz, i don't think it works backwards from there, it would need a motherboard with a FSB frequency capable of 533 mhz.

hard to find info on this i would go into the bios it's takes 2 minutes and under the advanced tab you will see what FSB frequencies you have to choose from, but don't change anything in there and exit without saving.

 

Gonna step out for a smoke! lol back a little after.
