Product: Pavilion dv6000
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Hi, I want to upgrade the RAM and Processor of my laptop. Currently my system configuration is as follows:

 

RAM : 2GB

Hard Disk: 250 GB

Processor: Dual Core (intel)

OS : windows7 64 bit

 

Now i want to get the RAM upgraded to 8GB and i5 processor. Also SSD Hardrive of 512GB or 256GB.

Is it possible in to upgrade this system? 

If yes, what will be the total cost for upgrade?

 

regards

Avi

No no no no.

 

Old hardware is old hardware. I am not sure of your model but I know it uses DDR2 memory maxes at 3 or maybe 4 gigs and can only use Intel Core 2 Duo processors and at best has a SATA-I bus (some are actuall legacy IDE only) If you put an SSD in it at best it is crippled and at worst will not work at all. Spend the money to get a better computer...you can get something like a 3rd gen Intel Core i5 or i7 computer for $100 if you shop around a bit.
