What happens to hardware technology when the processor is updated or changed?

Please define what you mean by "hardware technology". I can tell that that when you change you're processor, you'll likely need to reinstall Windows. It doesn't like that. Can't say how well Linux handles it\n\nEdit: Ahh, I see. Well aside from the aforementioned reinstall of your operating system, it really depends on what you upgrade from and to. Basically if your new processor is compatible with your current board, you'll just need the OS reinstall. If it is not, you'll need a new motherboard, and that can turn into a very large job. If you get a new motherboard you need to be sure that it's compatible with... everything else. For example if you have an AGP video card, make sure sure the new board has an AGP slot. If you have a sata hard drive make sure the new board has sata, if you have pc3200 ddr ram, make sure the new board supports pc3200 ddr ram, and so on... and so on... Even the case may need to be replaced, depending on the size of it vs. the size of the motherboard.

upgrading a cpu in an old PC makes little sense. costs you a lot of money and the result is not that great as you may think.

A change in the design of a processor usually brings with it changes in the chipset that allow it to be installed on a motherboard.  The chipset is a collection of integrated circuits that manage how the processor interfaces to other components, namely memory, I/O and graphics.  Chipsets are designed for specific motherboards so basically all three (the processor, chipset and motherboard) are designed in sync with each other.  This is why we generally see new chipsets and motherboards to support new processors as they are introduced into the market and why you can't upgrade old systems with newer processors without replacing the motherboard.

You have a processor, some memory, and some input/output devices.  The processor fetches instructions in sequence from a memory location, and modifies its internal state based on them.  The instructions also may tell it to write data out to memory, or make a call to an I/O device.  Hard drives, printers, monitors, and keyboards are all I/O devices.

Advanced hardware will work without advanced software, but vice versa may make the computer crash since it isn't capable of handling the software.

Multi Core Processors like the Intel duo 2 and PCI Express are really hot now. But as for new technology go to popular science webstie and check it out.

Right click on my computer and click properties to get the processor type and model. Then go online and find out from the vendor site(intel or amd). and moreover u need to find out if the new processsor takes same voltage more or less and other compatibilities.

Being a laptop the answer is "no". In general laptop processors are not upgradable. If they are it's usually cost prohibitive.

There is no software that can change what the hardware is capable of doing. This is because the components inside the drives are different. This is just like asking can a software make my 266mHz CPU into a 3.6gHz one or turning a 1GB HD into a 250GB. Sorry, just cant be done.

on newer mainboards no settings have to be changed. assume you want to upgrade from a Pentium 4 630 (3GHz) to a Pentium 4 660 (3.6GHz), the mainboard recognize the new CPU automatically due to the CPUID (this is an identfication code within the CPU). The multiplier of the clock frequency will then automatically be set from 15 to 18 (x 200MHz).

Simply stated, it is a processor that actually contains two processors on a single die. In effect, you have the equivalent of two processors inside one chip. In practice the performance improvement over a single core processor is less than 2X, especially since software needs to be written to take advantage of the fact that you have two processor cores available.

You are going to need to provide more information about your question.  I don't believe anyone is going to have enough context to answer it.  Where are you seeing "PROCESSOR_LEVEL=15"?  What type of mapping is going on?  \n\nSorry I can't answer your question, but at least I can let you know that you're not being ignored.

try upgrading it, if youave had it a long time, there have been a lot of changes made recently

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

Because some sofwares requires changes to be done to the hardware and you have to restart the system for that to happen. But the newer OS are more intelligent in most cases, so, they do no require the system to be restarted while others don't require any change regarding to the hardware.

no the hardware is fine but over the years your computer will inevitably slow as you build up addditional tasks for it to perfrom and basicallyslowly currpot and or personlize i, thi sis easily repared by system restoring it to its origional purchase date it will literally act like its brand-new
