Hi,

 

 

I wanted to upgrade my processor for my laptop, but im not sure if i can. I have another laptop that i dont use and decided to upgrade my ram on the one i do use ( the one im using to type this up). I looked up some things, and found out that i couldn't use the ram cards/chips. So i was wondering.

 

 

A. What would be the best processor that i could use, the cost, and where to get one.

 

B. What would be the cheapest upgrade, where to get it, the cost, etc

 

C. What would be a decent upgrade at a decent cost(under 100$)

 

My specs, (Note: These are the only specs i could find, if it is not enough info)

 

AMD A6-7310 APU with AMD Radeon R4 Graphics 2.oo GHz

 

4GBs of RAM

To upgrade the processor, you would have to replace the complete system board.  

 

See the following image from the Maintenence & Service guide.

Simple answer is: you can't upgrade CPU. You need to buy the whole board with CPU. Very expensive upgrade.

 

$100 won't get you to anywhere. You may be able to add more RAM.

 

Regards.
