Can you upgrade a Pentium?

depends on your other hardware.\n\nit requires replacing processor and most likely motherboard\n\nmost of the big upgrades require replacing many parts and most of the time results in large overhaul

You should either modify your question or repost.\n\nWhat new pentium processor - version number, etc.\n\nWhat do you want to know about it?\n\nPeople can't be expected to answer your question as posted as there is nearly 0 data to respond to, and it is ambiguous: you could be asking if there is going to be a new one, or you could be asking about an existing one.

Try PowerLeap, it's an upgrade option using your existing PCI slot board of your PC. It's an on board complete CPU+Memory.

Yes, absolutely.  Upgrade as much RAM as you can afford and your motherboard will let you.  RAM is one of those things that is easy to do and you will see immediate improvement.  But be wary, you must get the correct RAM!\n\nYou may want to swing by Crucial.com as they have an awesome RAM chooser (called Crucial Memory Advisor™ Tool) to make sure you are getting the correct RAM for your motherboard.\n\nhttp://www.crucial.com/index.asp

Ok, so, in general, Higher is always better. As long as you have a processor that can handle it, you should always move up. I've basically  revamped my computer about 3 times, just upgrading, so I don't have to get new everything. It's alot cheaper. BUT, go for the 512. 1 gig of RAM is ok, I guess, but keep a sharp eye out for a new processor. If you can afford it, get the pentium D.

I don't know specific abt your model.\nThe best way is to call Compaq Help Line and ask them for the same and they will guide you in detail.\nThe other option is goto your nearest hardware guy and ask them that you wanna upgrade your memory tell him your processor model and he will guide you very specifically.\nIf it's p3 you can go for SD and if p4 you can go for RD or DDR ram.\nGood Luck.\nDJ

Sure, it's possible, but some motherboards pose a limitation on processor speed and use different sockets, like the motherboard I have now supports from Pentium 4 1.4 to 3.06 GHz and Celeron 1.7-2.8, but looking at your specifications on the HP website, you have an Intel Celeron (TM) 733 MHz processor. That is the height of the Pentium 3 or 4 area, which means you can probably expand it with the existing motherboard, but not by much (probably another 200MHz).\n\nSince it is a manufacturer motherboard, chances are it is further limited to the amount of processors it can support. The supplier of your motherboard, but 1. HP doesn't release the model number of it and 2. The English version is down for whatever reason and I can't read Korean ;-) .\n\nAlso, most retail outlets would only stock the more "modern" parts (e.g. 2.0+ GHz range), you're less likely to find a processor unless you go on eBay, but even then it'll need the accompanying motherboard, but even that poses its own dilemmas.

You can only overclock a processor if it is built to be overclocked.  In your case your Pentium 4 will have to be a Pentium 4 HT (HT= Hyper-Threading).  My best advice would be to not overclock it.  If the manufactor thought it would run stable at a higher speed they would have sold it at that speed.

Cpu and Processor are the exact same thing. You need to find out what type of Motherboard you have. This will be the key in upgrading your processor.

You can't upgrade the graphics in this particular laptop. Very few notebooks have upgradable graphics cards.

The type of memory to use with a Pentium 4 CPU is DDR memory. It comes in various speeds, but you should be OK with a DDR333 speed (also called a PC2700). These are available in 256MB, 512MB, 1GB and 2GB modules. You should be able to find 512MB for well under $100.00/ea.\n\nYour ASUS board should have at least 2 memory slots, so (2) 512MB modules would equal a full gigabyte of memory for under $200.00.

a lot of crappy answers.\nno, you can't replace a Centrino (aka. Pentium M) processor with a Core Duo, because they have different sockets.\nthe Pentium M Centrino has a socket 478, while the Core Duo needs a socket M.

its a hardware , so no upgrade for motherboards or cpu

yes buy a faster processor just make sure you get one of the same brand thats in there and that the motherboard will support it by going to the manufacturer of the motherboards website and looking at the specs or reading the book that came with it

I will not suggest to buy a new processor or mother board. You can buy a graphics acceleration card. like G-Force (256 MB or 512 MB). I hope you will enjoy playing Call of Duty2.

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

Upgrade CPU and add more RAM.
