Upgrade my Touchsmart 610

[khali123]

I have an old Touchsmart 610 that I love and I'd like to upgrade it. A few years ago I added more memory myself. Now I'd like to change out everything I possibly can so it'll be like new. Can anyone tell me what parts I need to get to

@khali123 , welcome to the Community.

What is the Product Number of the computer? I need this information to review the specifications of it. Please don't furnish the Serial # or other personal information. You can find the Product Number at the bottom of the page when you open HP Support Assistant.  Once I have this information I will help you further.

You are very welcome, @khali1231!  Thank you for the additional information.  However, the Product Number doesn't appear to be correct.  I would appreciate having the model number.

Here is the Product Specifications page for your computer.  If you look at the sections titled "Processor upgrade information and Memory upgrade information" you will find the information for upgrading both of them.  You can upgrade to a i7-2600 processor.  The maximum memory is 16GB.  There is no PCIe x16 slot for a video card.  It has a socket for a MXM video card.  These are difficult to find because they are mainly used by OEM manufacturers like HP.

My personal opinion is, you would be better served by saving your money to buy a new computer.  A computer is only as good as its weakest link.  Your computer's weakest link is the motherboard.  I don't believe that a processor or memory upgrade will give you much system performance increase.  If you decide to buy a new computer in the near future, I would be glad to help you find one that would give you good performance for a reasonable price.

Thank you, once again, for your help. I appreciate it.

What computer would you suggest? I love that my current computer has such a huge screen. Are there any out there that would be comparable in size?

You are very welcome, @khali1231!  It is my pleasure!

Here is a page from HP Store that has several of the latest All-In-Ones: https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/vwa/desktops/segm=Home;form=All-in-One?jumpid=ma_dt_featured_na_5_2204...

I don't know how much you want to spend, but I highly recommend this one: https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/pdp/hp-pavilion-all-in-one-27-d0230z

It has all of the latest, greatest components and a 27 inch screen.  It will actually be many times faster than your current AIO because it has a SSD boot drive.

If you don't want an AIO, let me know how you use a computer and I will make other recommendations.

Thank you all for your help! Looks like it's time for a new computer. 🙂
