Read it in the morning, through the day laptop behaved little better, than what it used to be, does freezes up leess oftenly now.did you replace the ram or just put another 2 gig in?it will help a little, but the freeze's maybe due to the other stick of ram, now you have another try taking out the old one. just to see how the system goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karabasas Posted December 3, 2015 Author Share Posted December 3, 2015 Thanks for help and links. Just ordered additional 2gb stick, once get it- should make lappy to behave. Already, with fresh W and apps properly installed it works almost OK, or good enough not to give it to "IT numties". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karabasas Posted December 3, 2015 Author Share Posted December 3, 2015 Hang on, only now I paid attention it to what you said about latency or what did all of the tests shown. Literally will open it up and check it it as its meant to have DDR RAM, no questions, let alone saying that it is Hyundai, not Hynix is weird.

Karabasas Posted December 3, 2015 Author Share Posted December 3, 2015 Hynix HYMP125s64CP8-s6 is 100% DDR2, that is exactly what I have ordered and not what Test/ copied/ pasted- shown... hopefully I'll have it tomorrow, else whenever sn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karabasas Posted December 3, 2015 Author Share Posted December 3, 2015 Mad I am!Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 2.40ghz / 3m / 1066 SLB3S to replace iffy T3500? :rolleyes: RAM latency would be better, not sure about drivers as "CoProcessor" etc, but hardly would become a problem?What do you think?

Karabasas Posted December 4, 2015 Author Share Posted December 4, 2015 T3500 @2100hz... Celeron ® Dual-Core, runs 35Wwhilst P8600 is 25W and max 2.4GHZ...only concern I have as motherboard is ever so "custom", weather ant drivers would kick up some fuss as in bios config or limitations....

Karabasas Posted December 4, 2015 Author Share Posted December 4, 2015 Duh!... misread the post..Basically, "coProcessor" had no hardware ID, until, I installed correct 15.17 nVidia ForceWare and some "system Control Manager" (actual Video driver separate, on the top of those or provided by Microsoft),whichafter restart is "hidden now", as there is none "coprocessor"(believe, to be have been so, as Windows couldn't understand what switch it was),but functionally it has working few buttons as sleep, deep sleep, nighmare sleep regime , as well as some Wi-Fi module button to click on and off...seeing around as some MSI CR500 came with genuine Dual core CPU's (not Celeron)- should I have no issue?... o.O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karabasas Posted December 4, 2015 Author Share Posted December 4, 2015 :D good old times... Pc's I used to build from scratch where 3'rd of my phone specs or even less...Old times, old good fun, shame, I get no time to dvelve in to all of it again as much, just funny remembering "problems" of the past as of major issues when floppy leads suddenly started to have twisted end 6-8 threads, causing files not to transfer for hours! All 3.4mb... :DStill, as it goes about this work laptop I will get p8600 and hope not to have to show it to IT's, before, I'll leave this PITA firm.If anything- I'll swap CPU back. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karabasas Posted December 4, 2015 Author Share Posted December 4, 2015 ha ha! the only concern I have is BIOS/drivers etc, physical change is breeze, as particular laptop is build like a tractor in 80's ! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CPU upgrade may not work because the BIOS does not support it, even if the socket is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karabasas Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 All is well, considering as how long I have been suffering, now I fitted additional RAM and replace CPU without any issues at all! BIOS recognized it, drivers self updated, even OS accepted the change without need to reactivate... and difference in performance is obvious! 2.4 P8600 runs like a dream. Thanks for the help guys!
