    Upgrading from AMD Sempron 3000+

    I currently have a Packard Bell Easynote b3600 (laptop) with a mobile sempron 3000 +. I find it a bit slow and I want to upgrade.
    The change of RAM is provided (512 -> 1GB or 2), but that is not my question. My only processor 128KB L2This is really unusual. So I want to change it.

    Current Setup:
    Mobile AMD Sempon 300 + "Albany" Socket 754
    mounted:
    NEC Versa mobo version Prenium 5a
    Chpset k8M400 VIA (VT8380)
    Southbridge VIA VT8235
    Bus Speed 200Mhz

    After looking at a store I found:
    AMD Sempron 3400 + (2000 Mhz - s754) BOX 64bit
    AMD Athlon 64 3000 + (2000 Mhz - s754)

    Can I upgrade my laptop?
    Thank you in advance

    I do not want to be with a processor that is useless! It is obsolete but it suits me, or almost, from what I did:
    • Eclipse (on XP only, on Xubuntu it thoroughly ream)
    • GCC
    • Word
    • PPT
    • Gimp (well, almost)


    So let it go $ 1,600 is a bit expensive, whereas in China I is $ 100 and $ 100 processor / bar is at max $ 280. So I always try to know whether the passage of 64bits can be done and change FSB from 400 to 800 also.

    Impossible? Why? the processor is it soldered to the motherboard. I mean that the differences between a desktop and a laptop are relatively small:
    • The power supply provides the low electric supply processor -> hence the lower consolidated
    • Autonomy is privileged -> hence the low electric power supplies to processor
    • Apart from that there are no other differences?

    If I am wrong words to me, but with arguments.

    No, the problem is that you find ANY CPU is supported by your motherboard: the whole problem is there! It really is not that it can accommodate a Turion 64, for example! So here to share contact the manufacturer or look in the docs I do not really see how to help.

    Frankly, a modest processor upgrade will bring you anything more, especially given your use. The memory remains the best way to supercharge your PC.
    A priority the socket 754 is what is iic. But I would not recommend the establishment of non PROCOS Mobile Sempron for the simple reason that they have a TDP PROCOS is low and the cooling systems are designed just to absorb heat from the processor for which they are designed. So I fear that with a Sempron or Athlon short while it warms a little, and with a Turion x2, there is a bit of suicide.

    Otherwise in a more general shift from a "process over 32bit (64bit uneducated) to a" Processor 64-bit "(which is provided) is quite transparent. Just as you stay on a 32-bit OS, the 64-bit instruction set is not used. For stories of FSB, I think you confuse with HyperTransport which is 800 MHz on such Processor.
