performance and internet speed

[jade1945]

Advised by technician for ISP that AMD E1-1200 processor @1.40 GHz is NOT apprpriate for Windows 10 or for 1GB internet service. He suggested Intel pentium @ 3GHz, at least. System has 4GB DDR3 RAM.  I know that generally, you can increase system performance by increasing the RAM. If I load the system with maximum RAM, will that be enough to make up for the lack of performance from the AMD E1-1200? I really do not want to purchase 2 new pc's to replace the 2 pavilion p2-1122's that we have now. Ideas/advice, PLEASE! Thanks. jade1945.

Hi,

Welcome to HP support forum.

1. The bad news is you can't change from AMD to Intel and you can't change CPU at all because

   Processor information

• AMD Fusion E1-1200 (Zacate) Dual Core processor soldered down on the motherboard
• TDP: 18W
• Socket type: Not applicable

2. You can add more RAM but the improvement WON'T be noticeable. You need better CPU.

Regards.

Thanks so much! I was afraid that would be the answer I would get. But you saved me from wasting money on an idea that was not really a solution at all. Will look to replace the 2 pavilions. Thanks again!
