I never had a laptop, that is where I am right now. Have a DV9035nr and would like to know if I can just pop a faster chip into it? It has a T5500 right now Mermon 1.63ghz speed kind of slow. So is it possible to speed this thing up?:bang head
 
Soldering time. I hope not, but with my luck they are soldered in tight.

Well I know I will be happy with it no matter what.:bday:

By calling your T5500 slow, is like calling a Core 2 Duo slow. Yes it only runs at 1.63GHz, but so does the E6300 C2D desktop CPU. And that E6300 can beat many of AMD's offerings. My dad has the exact same CPU as yours in his E1505, and that thing renders and games pretty nicely if you ask me.

Now if you are using your laptop to do heavy rendering and high detail gaming, then go ahead and plop in a higher frequency Merom, but all I am saying is that your current T5500 is more than many users would ever fully utilize.

Nice lappy,

Not a dog just a little slo

My quad is slow also. Why do I say that, well 2 years ago Intel made a statement that they were able and were going to have CPU's up to 10 ghz in two years time. TIME IS UP. That is why I am saying that these CPU's are slo. They have not realy made much progress in the last 2 years when it comes to doing realy complex and large modeling problems and we need more speed. So as of right now my new game toy will do I guess the QX6700 will do. But for the others I am waiting for my server quads to come out with a speed of at least 4.5ghz. Hard drives need speed also. But I can wait.

But am real disapointed in intel with no 10ghz yet. What happened.:confused: :beer:

Limitations within the CPU. You can only make things so small, and cram a huge amount of them into a limited space, before you start having issues with making them.

In the 60's we used to say that, that is when we used large reduction cameras to make circuit boards. Now look. The only thing holding up the process right now is the lack of smarts in america. Why? look what is happening to manufacturing in America, it's gone to somewhere else but here.

Intel stated they could do it now but? Why should they, we keep buying these little steps in progress like crazy and they are making a lot of money by not doing large steps in speed. Just look at all the x64 bit cpu's out and just how many of them run x64 bit programs or OSes, very few, so why should they do any more than a little, sice we seem to be happy with what we have.

Oh well, x64 do we need it, naw lets just stay where we are.

There is a difference. Cameras don't require thousands to millions of tiny parts put into a space about as big as a postage stamp. Plus, another large concern is the heat created from adding more electricity into small spaces.
 
But they can do it. But what I can't do much longer on this laptop is wait any longer for a DVD to burn. Damn 30+ min. so far. This is slo.!!:bday:

If they could do it, they would of done it already. Silicon and the parts that are used now can only handle a certain temperature. A temperature which is being reached, very very quickly. What is being done right now, is research with synthetic diamonds for CPUs, which have a much higher tolerance for the heat that would be generated.
 
Thanks

I guess I will just use it like it is and be happy.

The only thing I wish it realy had would be wireless N 300. Oh well cant have it all.
