Yes and No. I own an HP pavilion 8775c with a 933 P3. You realy need to post more info. A modle number would be great.\n\nAnyways, In my case I did a BIOS upgrade. This allowed my board to take a 1.3 celleron I think. The board has jumpers to set voltage, buss and multiplier setting. Problem was in my case and possibly in yours, is that HP takes the jumper pins off and just solders the connections in the possition they want. This means, even if I had that 1.3 it would still show up as a 933 P3. If you want to do an upgrade and have limited funds, I have a few recomendations.\n\nFirst off, some one I'm sure will come around and tell you just to buy a new system. I'm still using my HP P3. It's heavily modified, but runs great and it can still keep up with these new systems. Get an aftermarket Mother Board. An Asus would be good considering they already make the one in your HP. This is why more info would be good. If your CPU is using SLOT 1, this part may not apply to you then. If you're using Socket 370, then try and find a Socket 370 board. Get one with the highest possible CPU support you can get. This way, you can keep all you're current hardware. You can usualy find a good new board on Socket 370 for about 30 to 60 bucks. Then, just spend another 20 bucks on a better heat synk and fan, and over clock it to 933 or 1Ghz if you're feeling lucky. \n\nIf you're on Slot 1, this may be a good time to switch to AMD. LOL

OF course u can! There wont be a single problem with that! But  I dont know whether u can upgrade ur win 2000 or not. I alawys start from the begining.

How comes you're using XP Pro on a "P3 class" Celeron with only 64MB Ram. This is a mismatch that couldn't be greater. To run XP Pro you need at least 256MB and even this is low. I suppose you previously had W98 or W98SE, go back to that OS to increase the speed without upgrading the hardware.\n\nBut if you want to stay with the XP Pro, you have to upgrade the memory to the maximum (512MB ?), this is not that expensive. But be careful, not even Crucial has the Ram type of the HP Pavilion 7700 in it's database, so it seems your system may require proprietary or non-standard Ram.

Yes it can be done, but it shouldnt!  As soon as you upgrade the motherboard, as a minimum you will need to upgrade the CPU, Memory, Video Card, and Power Supply to be compatible.  If you put that much time, money, and energy into an upgrade you wont be satisfied with the old case or old cd/dvd drives either.  To build an entire machine, you would have to buy compatible parts within a certain time period.  Memory and CPU styles change every 4-6 months for instance.  \n\nBottom Line, buy a new machine or buy all the parts at the same time from the same vendor so they dont fight over who is responsible for the warranty and build your own.  Or go to a site like www.cyberpowersystem.com where you can custom configure a machine, they will assemble, test, and ship it to you.  You will NEVER be happy with a piece meal machine!

unfortunately for you, "no", you will have to upgrade. good luck

yes you can change your processor but you definitly have to change you mother board and ram as processor fittings on a mother board changes every now and then and P3 had SD rams where as P4 work on DDR ram................you may save money if your ram is a DDR as some ram on P3 m/b were DDR at that time

the upgrade will be determined by the motherboard so you will have to research the manufactures website physically a P2 and P3 are the same until you get to the flipchip  socket 370, most of the old computer motherboards required jumpers to set the speed, personaly the gain will be marginal if you want a real boost get a new motherboard processor combo but price wise you would be better buying a new computer as you probably have windows 95 or 98 and just the operating system will cost close to $100 for XP. If you are on a budget check ebay for a nice P4 system that has a slower processor you should be able to buy something much quicker for $200

There might be, but it makes no sense.\n\n550 MHz is glacially slow.  You will have to upgrade most of your system, including the motherboard, CPU, and RAM, to get anywhere near today's standards for performance.

Your CPU is a Socket 478 with a 400MHz FSB. You'd need to find a Pentium that fits that socket and uses a 400MHz FSB. Your upgrade options are limited because it is an older socket. An upgrade for your CPU would be about $100 for a 2.0GHz P4, but the benefits probably aren't going to be anything to write home about. I personnaly don't think it's worth the trouble. Save up and buy a new motherboard and CPU.

It depends on the make and model of your particular notebook. If you owned an HP notebook that has an AMD Turion processor I would say that you have choices! YES YOU CAN upgrade your notebook's processor! I have found FOUR AMD Turion processors at a respectable online e-tailer for you. Be fore warned though! It is absolutely essential that you obtain the service manual for your laptop BEFORE 1) Purchasing the processor 2) Attempting to install said processor. Always consult the notebook's service manual for information that is VITAL to the success of your upgrades!\nGood luck!\nPaul_in_NC

It is an oooold machine and a HP. It proably only takes low density chips and/or just PC 100. Did you check a compatibilty wizard on a website before purchasing?

Simply add more ram.\n256 less than adequate.\n512 adequate\n1gig plus is ideal

This is exactly what I have in one of my computers, it's great, it's fast, I really don't want nothing better, you just said it..\nINTEL PENTIUM D PROCESSOR 805 WITH DUAL CORE TECHNOLOGY (2 x 2.66GHZ, 533FSB)\nThis is the one, and with this question I just move to level 6 thanks..

Yes it is waste of money if u donnot upgrade ur processor

You just have to make sure that your new motherboard will fit into all the screwholes, ports, cards that are available for your HP, as well as the CPU that you already have.  For example, if you're using an AMD Socket 939 board, then your replacement board will have to be Socket 939-type as well, or your AMD CPU will never fit in.\n\nFurther, it will not make much difference if you upgrade the motherboard only.  To make your comp faster, you'll also have to replace the CPU.  In this case, you can choose any type of motherboard as long as it will fit into the case properly.

theoretically you can. the celeron M 1.5 ghz aka. M370 is compatible with the Pentium M series M7X5 (e.g. the M735). but there is a catch - laptop processors are often soldered on a tiny board and these types won't be sold.\nin case you want to replace it, find out in what form the processor is built in. if it's in the regular form (not manufacturer specific) then it's possible.\np.s. in my opinion it's not worth to upgrade a notebook processor. you wouldn't notice a big increase in speed.
