wild foamy Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 even then i doubt the mainboard would be able to take such a high spec CPU. you will most likely have to replace the mainboard and CPU, and on a laptop that is easier said than done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YamaGod Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 The Celeron you have, has a 479 socket, and the one that you want to buy has a 775 socket. That is to say , that it does not fit. This will suit your motherboard : INTEL Core 2 Duo T7500 - 2.2 Ghz, Cache L2 4 MB Socket 479 -FSB 1000 mhz Or the INTEL T7700,similar to the previous one, but 2.4 Ghz. And remember that a Celeron , is the low range of Intel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimR Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Would that be 2 or 4 stroke????? Well perhaps is it air cooled or water cooled 'motor' there could be a difference on how the 'motor' is tuned .. but I would guess its a better bet to px it for the old R1 !

niiick Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 whatever you do it will blow up, i done it once and it caught fire it wasnt a big upgraade either, its something to do with everything being unable to corosponde my mate told me, best bet is to overclock, u have an intell they pretty good for overclockin, and the sockets have to be the same, also u would have to upgrade the motherboard, more ram to be compatible with the processor, new fans cos laptops get waaarm, and all that comes at a cost, also i would put new graqphic cards in cos it will look alot nicer and you will have the power to run them, but motherboards are expensive maaan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gas up - Let's Go! Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 F**k it then, I'll just get a new lappy Have a look in Staples, I picked up a Toshiba Dual Core with 3Gb RAM, HUGE hard drive, wide screen, BluTooth - you name it !! for a little over £300 the week before last (for my daughter) In the good old days, when PC's were scary building and tweeking your own was a good way of upgrading. But these days the stuff is so cheap it's just not worth the hassle of searching for the right driver combination. Oh, when RAM was a £ per Mb ............... Chances are it's not the proccesor that's holding you up, your OS (Opperating System) has more than probably got so many add-ins hook-ons etc that it's eating up the memory. Get rid, and get a whole new laptop, that's the easiest way forward. Whatever you buy, shop around and barter, it's a buyers market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madison Motorsport Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 Having had a shuffle round, and being moaned at by the better half ("You won't be able to upgrade it ", etc, etc), I've decided to do a custom build tower. Toying with various ideas for spec at the mo but so long as my graphics card supports graphics shader, that's all I'm fussed about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wild foamy Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Towers are where its at. i've upgraded my graphics card on the main system and built a backup unit out of spares and freebies (1.2ghz AMD, 40gb HDD, Linux OS) and i can safely say a tower is your best bet. make sure you have good cooling though, a decent cooling system is the difference between a reliable and effecient PC and one which lags, bugs and wont run GTA 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madison Motorsport Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 I'm thinking along the lines of: Foxconn Destroyer 780a SLI Socket AM2+ onboard VGA 7.1 channel audio ATX Motherboard AMD Phenom II X4 940 3GHz Socket AM2+ 6MB L3 Cache Processor Sapphire VAPOR-X HD4870 2GB GDDR5 HDMI DVI VGA PCI-E Graphics Card Seagate 1TB Hard Drive SATAII 7200rpm 32MB Cache Sony BDU-X10S Blu-Ray BD-ROM SATA Black Internal Sony DRU-860S 22X DVD?RW DL & DVD-RAM Serial ATA Black Drive Zalman VF1000-LED Quad Heatpipe VGA Cooler The case also has allowance for 2x 120mm and 2x 80mm fans so I doubt cooling will present any problems If I need extra cooling, I'll go water cooled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
