Hi everyone,

After reading some post on this forum, I have decided to try to upgrade the cpu on my laptop. Curently I have the following:

Hp Dv2000, (DV2808ca)
AMD Turion TMDTL60HAX5DM (35 w)
4 gig PC2-5300 (333)

I want to try putting a Turion 2.3 chip in. I found them on Ebay for $40.00 USD. I understand that this might not work, but for $40, it's reasonalbly cheap to try.

I have found the following two differnt types of the 2.3 chips on Ebay

AMD Turion 64 X2 mobile TL-66 2.3 GHz TMDTL66HAX5DC
AMD Turion 64 X2 mobile TL-66 2.3 GHz TMDTL66HAX5DM

Based on what I can see here:

http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/...%20TMDTL64HAX5DC.html

http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/...%20TMDTL66HAX5DM.html

The only difference that I can find is that the TMDTL66HAX5DM has an extra stepping code, although I cannot find out what it is for.

Does anyone have anysuggestions on which chip I should get?

Thanks

In order to upgrade your CPU you will need to know two things about your motherboard: its CPU socket and its maximum external clock rate (a.k.a. FSB, Front Side Bus - for AMD CPUs based on AMD64 architecture you don't need this information). These two data are written on the motherboard manualYou can only replace your CPU with another CPU that uses the same socket. Otherwise you will need to replace also your motherboard (and maybe other components, like memory, if your new motherboard requires a different kind of memory, for example).

Hi all,

I am thinking to upgrade my processor and video card.

current system:-
Motherboard is Foxconn 2AB1,
Processor = AMD Anthon II x2 250 on AM3 socket
Video card = ATI Radeon HD 4200
Power Suppy = 650 W

Pls let me know which processors and video cards I can go for to get a better performance and video quality.
