Upgrades for an HP Pavillion g6-2213sa for video editing

[NMPSE4]

Hi there,

My HP Pavillion g6-2213sa is struggling to cope with the demands of the video editing software I'm using and I wondered if anyone could suggest some parts upgrades, please.

Am I right in thinking the fastest processor I can get for my laptop is an AMD® A10-4600M processor (3.2 GHz/2.3 GHz, 1600 MHz/4 MB L2 cache, DDR3, quad core, 35W)? The one I currently have is a AMD A8-4500M APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics .

Are there any other parts I can upgrade, beside the processor, to improve performance (e.g graphics and sound card)?

I upgraded the RAM to 8GB some time ago. Is that still the maximum this model will accept?

Thanks in advance.

Hello;

Allow me to welcome you to the HP forums!

Sorry, but unlike desktops, which use cards, laptops have chips that are soldered directly to the motherboard or system board, or come in the form of "modules".

This means there is really no way to upgrade the video or processor on your laptop. You're stuck with what came with the PC.

You COULD consider putting an SSD in the laptop, but that really only helps with reducing the boot time and program load times. Once the game is loaded into memory and running, the SSD doesn't help real-time performance.
