How to upgrade an HP NC8430 CPU

[Kumbakaran]

Last month I had purchased a HP Compaq nc8430 laptop. The configuration of this laptop is to be as Intel Core Duo processor, 15.4-inch wide screen display, ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics card and 4GB DDR2 SDRAM. The hard disk of this laptop is to be 120-GB hard disk which is run the Windows Vista OS. Now I decided to upgrade the CPU of this laptop. The reason behind that is the CPU will be not capable to run high configuration video game. Some good advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I recently bought an Intel Core 2 Duo Mobile T7600 CPU for it. When i install the Intel Core 2 Duo Mobile T7600 the laptop will not boot in fact. Then I contact the expert person of the official site. They told me that the processor is being not compatible with the motherboard and hence the booting problem arrives on this connection. Then I replace this processor with the new compatible processor and at the end it works properly on the HP laptop.

If you try to put the new processor on this laptop, then you need to just install the new version of the BIOS on this laptop. This is to be necessary in this connection. This is the Cpu upgrade task and it will be indicate that the problem has been arrive because the new upgraded Cpu need the extra setting of the BIOS and its advanced features. This will be arriving on the laptop using the BIOS update task on the laptop after this CPU upgrade.

I don't know if you would in fact observe a big difference between this processor. I think the certain apps in this laptop would be work fast on this faster processor. If you change the 1GB ram of system to the 2GB, then it also gives the impact of the system performance. The ram of the laptop system will indicate the performance of this laptop. It's usually a much easier to upgrade RAM instead of upgrading the CPU.
