Hi qapmoc, That's excellent news. And yeah, the T7200 is a happy medium. 2 GHz is still a decent enough speed for a lot of uses, and while the Core 2 Duo chips are now showing their age, they've still got strength enough in their teeth...

Hi RuneJayce, Based on information I can find, your system has a PM965 North Bridge and supports Socket P Intel chips. These would include Penryn-core Core 2 Duo with an 800 MHz front side bus speed (up to a Core 2 Duo T9500). This is...

Hi, Some laptops CAN have their graphics updated, but they're usually more expensive models (in my experience at least). It sounds like you've got the plan firmly in hand in either case. In the end it all depends on what games you want...

Hi again! To address the Socket issue: As I said there are different numbers thrown around for the sockets at times. The best example I know are the various 478/479 pin sockets from Intel. The BASIC structure existed from Pentium 4...

Hi killj0y, Welcome to the forum! I do not own a DV6000, but I do have a DV9000 and the 6000 is basically just a smaller version of the 9000. Assuming that the replacement motherboard you bought is not also defective or damaged,...

Hi, Just a quick note: It would have to be a FIRST GEN i series chip. According to cpu-world.com, rPGA988A. Otherwise known as Socket G1. Second gen chips use socket Socket G2 (referred to on cpu-world.com as rPGA988B). Edit, just...

He tried those already, QHN, it's in the first post however vaguely. I am wondering, just off the top of my head, if it's the WHOLE desktop or JUST the wallpaper? That much is not strictly clear from all of the above. IE are the Task...

Hi Urajay, Since the previous posts are old, I thought I might take up the torch a bit. According to the specs I have found, the system is, hardware wise, very similar to some models of Compaq Presario C500 and I have a decent bit of...

Hi all, Just an observation: According to the HP specifications for the model, it uses the PM965 north bridge, which is the same as in my DV9700. My DV9700 currently has two Corsair 4 GB DDR2 800 MHz modules installed, running at a...

Hi again, 60-65 at IDLE? Or 60-65 during load? I've never seen IDLE temps that high without some kind of cooling deficiency or interference. My i7 is the highest idle I've seen and even that doesn't get that high. Granted, I'm hardly...
