I have a cq62-211he with a v120 cpu. can i upgrade to a duel core? or any upgrade at all?
WQ858ua -p/n
{Private Information Removed}-s/n
AMD V-120 single core
785gx chipset
sb800 southbridge
hp 1444 motherboard version 69.37
s1 ( 638) socket
4200 ati series gfx
win7 64 home edition/U.S.A
4gig memory 1066
bios F.29
I would like to put in a duel core.
Should i stay with the 25watt tdp or can i safley go 35?
Would upgrading to a turion 2 520 2.3ghz be worth the boost for some games?
or the phenom n620 2.8 ghz.
Is there any upgrades that can be done with the cpu that would give some perfomance benifit?
Wanted to get some expert advice on this before i dive in.
I have looked through the owners manuel and it very confusuing listing other cpu's but not saying if i can use it in mine.
the v120 processor is used for rev 1.0 only so im deducing that thats what i have. also the ram i have is 1066 so am i limited to 1066 for cpu too..seems logical. also it has a 25 tdp should i stay with a 25 or can i go 35? There are some cpu's that are not rev limited so does that mean i can use it. I called hp support and they told me that it is impossible to upgrade and stated it was soldered in. Well thats a lie! Seems hp support does not know its own products and simply wants me to buy a new computer. I would just like to go to a duel cpu and was wondering if the turion 2 520 would be a good choice. Any input would be greatley appreciated! Thanks.
