Erico....

 

I appolige for not posting my original message with the info.  The computer is a a DV9000. Here  is my orighinal message:

 

**************************************************************************

 

Hi.  I may have one more to add.  The CPU in the HP dv9000 line of computers is a intel 2.2Ghz, 800 Mhz fsb, duo T7500 Socket 47.

I believe a drop in replacement, with no mods what so ever is the Intel core 2 duo T7800 2.6Ghz, 800 Mhz fsb. 

 

Here is Intels web site for the T7500:

http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=29761

and here is the intel web site for the T7800:

http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=31729

As you can see the voltage and all other parameters are the same - just a faster CPU.  Worse case, it might generate more heat.  If you are worried about this.  Cut a hole in the bottom of your laptop, directly below the CPU and install a fan covering.  Of, if you wish, a small fan.  This is what I did for the GPU.  Sure lowered my internal temps.

I just ordered a T7800 but not installed it yet.  It seems like a simple upgrade.  Any thoughts from the many smarter folks here on how this might play out?  Am I missing anything (warranty expired, that is why I cut a hole in the bottom of the dv9000) ??

Thoughts, comments welcome.

 

thank you

That CPU as an upgrade may or may not work. Any CPU not listed in the Service and maintainence Guide is not guaranteed to work. The reason is the lack of support for the CPU in the BIOS.

 

Trying that CPU as an upgrade is a gamble.  The $$$ risk is entirely yours. You may see a message from your BIOS that states unequivocably  "unsupported CPU  installed".

 

Good luck!

The specifications for your laptop show that your video does  have a discrete mini pciExpress card.  I see you want to upgrade the graphics to what is installed in an Alienware Gaming laptop. 😉

only the following cards are guaranteed to work in your notebook. With the exception of the amount of RAM they are virtually identical.

 

● nVidia NB8M GS with 64

MB of dedicated video

memory (8M × 32 GDDR3 ×
2 PCs) with 128 MB of video
memory when system
memory is less than 1 GB (64
MB + 64 MB Turbo Cache)
● nVidia NB8M GS with 64
MB of dedicated video
memory (8M × 32 GDDR3 ×
2 PCs) with 256 MB of video
memory when system
memory is greater than or
equal to 1 GB (64 MB + 192
MB Turbo Cache)

 

 

 

So...the short answer is that it probably will not work.

You can test the modules in your laptop. After all, you own it. Please share your results here.

Hi

 

I own a hp dv5 1016tx laptop. Which comes with a P7350 processor on socket P 25W. I basically want to upgrade it to a very fast processor for my requirements. The BIOS version is F.11

 

I went through the manual and PM45 chipset's manual. I want a Q9XXX or a QX9300 processor. Which are supported by the chipset, but i don't think the BIOS supports it. The BIOS supports a max processor of T9600 i think.

 

Isn't there a way for my to Flash the current BIOS with HDX's BIOS .. since both use 9600m GT DDR2 and most of the things are same .. which would enable me to support core 2 quad.

 

I would like to know if there is anyway to make it work. (including flashing BIOs)

I would like to know if there is anyway to make it work. (including flashing BIOs) If you are completely willing to accept the risk then take a look at the BIOS mod websites.

Hmm .. ok

Not that i've weighed my options, a T9600 would be a simple swap with p7350 .. i guess i could settle for it .. with a 50% boost .. I believe T9600 is the highest dual core supporeted by my BIOs. Could you just conform it ? And also, i don't need to switch from 90W to 120W adaptor right .. i mean its just 10W increase from 25 ~ 35W .. I don't care about battery (its dead anyway .. i am happy with portability)

Consider it confirmed..
Intel Core™2 Duo T9600 2.80-GHz with 6-MB L2 cache and 1066-MHz front side bus is supported by your notebook's BIOS.
Switching from a 90 Watt to a 120 Watt adapter is not required.
Merry Christmas,

Hi.

 

Why some older laptops don't accept faster memory? Eg: SO-DIMM DDR PC2700 166MHz into a HP NX7000 that works on a PC2100 133MHz. Or a PC3200 200MHz on a NX9010 that works with PC2700.

 

When I put the memory and boot the computer the screen just stays black, I can't even get into BIOS.

 

PS. PC3200 works on a NX7010 that works on PC2700. These laptops are all similiar and of a same age.

 

Thanks.

Thanks.

 

Even though memory modules can appear to have the same configuration they do not.

Using CPU-z , take a look at the list of timings and the voltage that a particular module requires to get a base idea of what is required. The actual table of timing values for a single far exceeds what CPU-z shows.

cpuz1.JPGcpuz2.JPG

 

Even If a module that you want to plug into the laptop will fit in the so-DIMM slot... that just isn't enough.

 

All of the parameters of the memory module must be either identical to or close enough to the primary and secondary timings and voltage requirements of a supported module in the BIOS table for the laptop to boot up.

 

Best regards,

erico
