I want to upgrade my system from KM266-8235, 1.53 GH AMDprocessor

Hi.

Yes you should be able to upgrade the processor on the laptop for a faster one. The socket type of the processor is socket PPGA47. This code is what you type for when looking for a faster processor. The installed processor should be Intel Pentium T2390 / 1.86 GH.

As for the graphics card then i'm sorry but the graphics chip is part of the motherboard and cannot be upgraded.



Regards.

research the board but it usally cant really be improved that much it woud better buy a new comp

here is a list of processors supported on that machine

Intel Pentium M 745 (1.8-GHz) with 400-MHz front
side bus (FSB)

Intel Pentium M 735 (1.7-GHz) with 400-MHz FSB

Intel Pentium M 725 (1.6-GHz) with 400-MHz FSB

Intel Pentium M 710 TJ85 (1.4-GHz) with 400-MHz FSB;
operates at a lower temperature than other processors

Intel Celeron M 340 (1.5-GHz) with 400-MHz FSB

Intel Celeron M 330 (1.4-GHz) with 400-MHz FSB

The board is maxed out at 1066 and it does not appear that gateway has a BIOS update to allow for the higher FSB reuired with the faster Intel chips. If you installed one of these newer LGA 775 chips into your computer it may work but would be a lot slower than what it is rated due to the chips multiplier would be set for 1333. I could not see any BIOS updates from gateway for this board. Also these chips are designed to run with the faster memory and the 800mhz memory speed would also be a bottle neck for your system.

hello, i would install the cpu you wish to use, then see how it runs. and then do a bios update. this may work,if not the motherboard may not be compatible with the cpu upgrade, (propriatory equipment sometimes does not allow such upgrades) like hit or miss! i hope this info helps,and you get the dell to accept the faster cpu. good luck! glen

You have to see what socket it is first. For example if it is a socket 478 you may be pretty much tapped out. If it's a socket lga775 on the other hand, there are better processors you can purchase. If you have that info you can post it. I'll be able to help yuyou better with that info.

Hi, you can do what i always recommend to my customers, install a new industry standard architecture (ISA) motherboard kit which will include a motherboard, processor,memory bundle. This future proofs you pc for at least five years, enables you to upgrade memory and processors on a plug 'n' play basis. fitting a kit is dead easy, with full instructions and what's more you will not lose any data on your hard drive either. More info ?

you can only upgrade cpu with the socket you have, which is 478/479, the best you can do the Intel 1.6Mhz M processor 725
if you want a faster CPU, you need to get a new motherboard.

hello
No you cant upgrade your processor.
also to change processor is very complicated in a old compaq.
and if you should manage to find a faster processor to your old compaq it not gonna make your laptop faster. the mother board and ram memory are still to old.

THE SE440BX2 MOTHER BOARD CAN SUPPORT P3,P2 PROCESSORS(P3 850 MHZ)....,BUT NOT P4 AND HIGHER VERSIONS...THIS MOTHER BOARD SUPPORTS UPTO 768 MB OF RAM,NOT MORE THAN THIS...
