Upgrade CPU and RAM for the old HP Pavilion dv1000.
Upgrade CPU and RAM for the old HP Pavilion dv1000.
The OP is found here: 2013 OP I'm fairly new to the whole "modding my computer" ball game...I am a Mac user which has its pros and cons and I find that I miss Windows at times as that was my first OS. Anyway I have an old dv1000 heirloom from my dad. It has the same poor memory, and CPU as the OP shows in 2013. So my questions are these: If I can upgrade to an Intel Pentium M 780 2.26 GHz 2 MB 533 MHz Socket 479 CPU (which is what the OP states is his preference at the very end), could I then upgrade the RAM to 4GB instead of the 2GB max capacity? Pentium M's can go up to 4GB according to some sources. But I am not sure if this specific CPU can make the computer run at 4GB RAM or if other internals will need to be modified? Also, is it worth upgrading to Windows 7 if I have XP installed? I can't remember which version I have. I lost my charger, buying a new one for this computer so I can't tell you since it's dead. But I do have a Malwarebytes subscription so that is one reason to upgrade. Thank you for your time.
I don’t think it’s feasible to upgrade like that. A 4-year-old laptop with 30 times the performance would cost around $80 for the CPU and charger alone. Plus, finding RAM or driver support can be tricky. Are you looking for a better option within your budget? I’d suggest considering a used laptop or something similar.
Let me know if you meant something different. I’m here to clarify or help with your question.
