Greetings, I have this NTB for a while and hardware is not good enough, so I want to ask if there is possible an upgrade. CPU and GPU are primary.
My CPU is AMD E-300 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics (2 CPUs), ~1.3GHz. So upgrade from AMD would be AMD E350 and AMD E450, and thats not a big win.
GPU is AMD Radeon HD 6310 Graphics. AMD upgrade only to 6320.
So First question is are there any other components compatible ?
Then I thought about replacing entire motherboard for compatible one such as 646177-001 or 646179-001, that can dock Intel i5 and provide necesary performance.
So Second question is could be this replacent possible ?
If not, I would be greatful for any performance improvement by hadware or software.
Thanks
