HP Pavilion Dv5-1251nr Upgrade

‎11-02-2010 02:03 PM

Using Dxdiag my memory and graphics show as:

 

Memory: 4062MB RAM

 

Aprox Total Memory: 2270 MB With a Nvidia GeForce 9200m GS graphics card.

 

My question is, with this laptop am I able to get a better piece of hardware and upgrade these or would it fry the motherboard?

Hi,

 

Looking at the specifications for your machine ( detailed on the link below ) it looks as if you can quite happily upgrade to 8GB of Ram ( presuming you're running a 64 bit OS ).

 

For all practical purposes you will not be able to change your graphics card as it is physically soldered to your motherboard.

Hope this helps.

 

Best wishes,
