Cpus for upgrading

Hello take a look here at the homepage:

http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_775/P5GVMX/#CPUS

Here is the list of supported cpu for the mainboard.

Your mainboard use Socket 775 for Intel Pentium 4.
This cpu type is phased out.
But you can always look for a used one.

You maybe have to upgrade the bios to support a bigger cpu.

Hope this was helpfull

Maybe you can upgrade the processor. For example, the U50Vg laptops come with one of the Core 2 Duo T9550/T9400/P8700/P8600/P7350/T6600/T6500/T6400/T5900/T5850 (2.66 GHz - 2.16 GHz) or the Pentium M T4200 (2.0 GHz) CPUs. The motherboard might support one of the other chips in the above list. (Probably not all - I know that some motherboards only accept a small number of closely related CPUs even with the same socket design.)

So the upgrade options would depend on which ASUS motherboard is actually in your computer. If you know the motherboard model number, add a comment and I'll check which CPUs it supports. However, to access the motherboard, you need to disassemble the entire computer (including removing several small ribbon cables from the keyboard, touch pad and display). The effort may not be worth the performance difference.

I hope this helps.

(there is a web site showing the steps to disassemble the U50V; you can find it through Google.)

I honestly think that they are embedded on the motherboard. I know you can buy new boards with Atom cpus on-board.

You might be able to get a new mb/cpu combo as an upgrade. Look at newegg.com for boards.

Your board supports socket AM2 CPUs the fastest of which is the AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ dual-core processor at 3.1 GHz.

Your motherboard does not accept socket AM3 CPUs.

The following CPUs are supported by the Acer TravelMate 2480:
Intel Celeron M processor 410/420/430/440/450 (1 MB L2 cache, 1.46/1.60/1.73/1.86/2 GHz, 533 MHz FSB) or higher.

So, based upon the speed of the CPU you currently have, you can decide whether you need a CPU upgrade or not.

Hi there.
If you note down the make and model of the motherboard you will be able to check to see if you can upgrade to better processors and which type of processors the motherboard supports.
If you want me to source the info please post the make and model of the board.

Thanks for using FixYa!!

Hi

... after some quick looking around I found a few items that may help you decide ...

Hi

Did you receive a VRM with the the PRC upgrade kit? And have you installed it?

The following items are/should be included in a microprocessor upgrade kit:
• A microprocessor (PRC)
• A heat sink
• Heat-sink retention clip(s)
• A voltage regulator module (VRM),
Your upgrade kit may also include a cooling fan.

If you are adding a secondary microprocessor, examine the VRM to ensure that it is the correct VRM for your system. Install the VRM in the appropriate secondary VRM connector, ensuring that the latches at each end of the connector engage. If you received two VRMs with the upgrade kit, replace the primary VRM already installed in the system with one of the VRMs from the upgrade kit.
Note: The system does not support mismatched VRMs.

Let me know how you get on

Here is a site that will give you info to most of your questions as far as upgrading your Mac. LowEndMac

more ram and a faster hard drive would improve your machine's performance somewhat.

Hello Keith,
The present Motherboard in your computer is Asus A8AE-LE. It has a lot of upgradign options.

It will support the Following CPUs.
Up to AMD Athlon64 X2 4800+
Up to AMD Athlon64 4000+
Up to AMD Sempron 3200+

Also, it has the following memory specifiations.
Memory Installed 1 GB (2 x 512)
Maximum allowed 4 GB* (4 x 1 GB) requires the replacement of the installed 512 MB DIMMs
Speed supported PC-3200 MB/sec
Type 184 pin, DDR SDRAM
DIMM slots Four
Open DIMM slots Two

And the PC has a PCI Express x16 slot you can install a high end Video Card along with a power supply upgrade.

So before you go ahead with replacing the motherboard I would recommend you to consider these options as we can cut down the cost to a greater extend and having the same iprovement on performance.

If you wish to upgrade the motherboard you can use any motherboard having ATX form factor [9.6 in X 9.6 in] in the computer. The CPUs should be selected according to the motherboard you have chosen.
Hope this helps
