Bee_Sting Posted June 27, 2011 Author Posted June 27, 2011 i found out that the processor wasn't embedded,so does that mean that i can change the processor?
Depth Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Yeah you can change the processor if it's not embedded (embedded meaning soldered to the pcb). However it's a painfull process. You should find the service manual for the laptop, provided by the manufacturer (Acer, Asus, HP etc.). It'll tell you what to do. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Bee_Sting Posted June 27, 2011 Author Posted June 27, 2011 i'm in sweden can you recommend where i can buy a processor for this laptop. it's a 34bit windows pro. it can hold 2gbs of memory. it has a intergrated card M,i know that i can't change that! ;) your help would be great!
Depth Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 I think it would be cheaper in the long run just to buy a new computer.. But what brand and model is it? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

I always shop at komplett.se. Not always the best prices, but prompt delivery and a good selection. Knowing what it is you have would be essential though. Knowing it's OS and RAM count doesn't do any of that. ;) Also, note that you really should double-check your documentation before purchasing anything when we're talking about a laptop. You need to be exactly clear on the procedure and what models it's mobo can accept (not only physically, but they might have done weird things in the mobo as well).

Depth Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Here are a few low-mid tier Asus laptops, unless your laptop is of extreme personal value to you I strongly suggest you find a new laptop instead of upgrading the old, it's just not cost effective. A low tier laptop processor can be more expensive than a high-tier desktop processor. And you're only replacing one bottleneck with another. http://www.komplett.se/k/ki.aspx?sku=629418 http://www.komplett.se/k/ki.aspx?sku=617821 http://www.komplett.se/k/ki.aspx?sku=618229 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
