Preinstalled processor on Compaq 7585 Desktop is :\n\nAMD K6-2 550 MHz \n\nAs per the HP tested data, that is the maximum upgrade that the Motherboard supports.\n\nHowever, you can recheck with it at any nearest HP Authorised Service Center. If you are in USA check out with the following URL to locate the nearest HP Authorised Service Center :\n\nComp-USA \nhttp://www.compusa.com/locations/default.asp \n\nBestBuy \nhttp://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=cat12090&type=page&isCarFi=null \n \nRadioShack \nhttp://www.radioshack.com/corp/index.jsp?page=storeLocator&clickid=rsk_header_storeLocator

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.

Depends on what you do really. if you just use it for basic word processing, its probably not a big deal. but if you use it for more intense things such as development or gaming, then yes, its really time for an upgrade. The processor of the new model you mentioned will be roughly 3 to 4 times more powerful. Even more maybe since your computer is kind of old. Also look at RAM (memory) and you should get at least 512 mb 600 mhz. However, your computer way obsolete when it comes to power. But like I said, depending on what you do, it may not be an issue.

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.

yes, I've done the upgrade with the same model number, and even did it with the gforce6800 so I know it can be done, for the 6800 i needed to have a power cable extention for the video card, and had to get a more powerful input power box. For the 6200 I just had to install the drivers first, then install, then configure the bios, then run system startup in safe more, install software drivers, once drivers are installed reboot in normal mode... set the default video to nvidea after the system loads normal, and configure the videocard. for the 6200 i used 1024 by 768. but that depend on your monitor. i never had any troubles doing it and I do alot of upgrades as a technician. it would've been helpful if you posted the exact errors or system error logs reported on your systems manager or event viewer. you minght have a irq error something may be trying to use the same resources or oyu don't have enough RAM. remember the nvidea driver although they have L2 cache ram, they also use up more system ram as well...as for the over heat, that may occur if your system fan is weak. The 6200 and 6800 series run hot... they get hot fast, you need good fans. I suggest making a gaming PC from a barebones kit and just tranfering your system over, minus the emachines software, use just the OS and drivers...

Look for the BIOS maker and version when you boot up. Once you have that, you can go to the BIOS manufacturer's website and download (or purchase if it's a hardware BIOS) the update. The site should also have instructions on how to perform the update.\n\nGood luck!

try some search about your current processor type and it's compatibility with the socket on motherboard, so you'll find the type of the socket that you are using now.

You could upgrade the processor.  The highest processor you can upgrade to is a Pentium 233 MMX (the last model before Intel moved to the Pentium II format).  It's not much of an upgrade but it's up to you if it's worth the time to learn how to do it.  Money shouldn't be a probably as the 233 MMX probably goes for $5 or less on ebay or some flea market.\n\nTo open the Presario case, there are probably some screws on the left hand side in the rear (when looking directly at the front).  They secure the left panel to the case and consists of two (maybe three) screws.  If you tug at the left panel by pushing it towards the back and it still doesn't open, it might be a U-shaped cover and you'll need to unscrew the screws on the right panel on the rear.  Again, this may vary as different vendors had different ways to take the cover off.  I know that Sony desktops at the time didn't use screws but had pressure mechanisms that held the panel in place.

As far as I can tell, on the mother board.\n\nI did see add-on sound and video upgrade packages at BestBuy the other day. As I don't have a laptop anymore I didn't pay a lot of attention to them or the pricing. Check them and CompUSA  and ask for add-on video upgrades. I beleive it was from ATI and was USB pluggable.\n\nGood luck.

I honestly doubt your graphics card is anywhere near what you need.  As for the processor...maybe, but good luck.  If you post what type of motherboard you have specifically I (or many others) can help with the graphics card.

No, you can't change them and it is not the same as a desktop computer.  The motherboards are custom form factors between manufacturers, the graphics cards are usually integrated into the motherboard (even the dedicated solutions are hardwired to the motherboard), the same goes for the sound card.  The only thing you can upgrade on a laptop are the processor (in MOST cases), memory and hard drive.  If you want a better sound card you can get a PCMCIA version of the Audigy 2.\n\nMost laptops use a 2.5" hard drive so don't think you can pop a 3.5" drive into it because you can't.\n\nI'll add a few things in addition to what others have said.  The Video cards that some are speaking of don't play games, which is from my perspective the purpose of a video card in the first place.  Though the external cards do give you some extra inputs and allow you to attach extra monitors to a laptop they DO NOT let you play Doom 3.\n\nThe memory and hard drive are accessed via some panels on the bottom of your laptop, usually secured with screws and they are usually labled, they are also usually the only two panels on the bottom of your laptop you can remove.\n\nYou can open the case to your laptop.  To gain access to the processor you need to remove the screws on the bottom of your laptop that secure the plastic frame around the keyboard.  Then pop that off, remove the screws to the keyboard.  Then you will be able to remove the fan off the processor (which is usually right under the keyboard) and depending on how the processor is secured either via a ZIF slot, with screws or with a rotating lock you will be able to remove it (again, in MOST cases).  If you want to upgrade the processor you will need to know what slot it uses like my Pentium 4 uses Socket 478 and an Athlon 64 uses Socket 939 and in case it isn't obvious AMD and Intel processors cannot be swapped for one another.\n\nThey are right about the motherboards, you can't change it.

First decide for wat purpose ur going to upgrade.then according to that go for a upgrade.\n\nProcessor: go for Intel P4 3.0Ghz and above if u have anything less than that or go for a AMD Athlon 64 bit 3200+ if ur processor is AMD\n\nMotherboard : for intel based go for Intel 945G Desktop Board\n\nRam:512MB @ 400Mhz\n\nHDD: acc to ur wish\n\nVideo Card :Nvidia Geforce FX 6600 GT\n\nthese all come around 200dollars and its the best available..

First find out what kind of motherboard you have by looking at the documentation that came with the computer or searching the Dell website for documentation.  Then find a compatible processor for that motherboard.  \n\nDo the same to make sure you are buying the right type of memory.\n\nYou can find step-by-step laptop service manuals on Dell website http://support.dell.com/?~ck=mn\nselect User Guides and Manuals in Select a Tool box\n\nYou can search Dell database by a service tag located on the bottom of your laptop or by the product model. After you entered the product model.  \n\nMore specifically go directly here for the Inspiron 2500.\nhttp://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/ins2500/en/sm_en/remove.htm#1024986
