Hello,
tell me if I`m wrong ,i have this same motherboard [09e8h] so what i gather from this forum I can swap my 533 mhz processor for an 800 mhz one .mine has a celeron D and i have a pentium D both 755 socket but one is 533 mhz and the other is 800 mhz

Computer Brand Name: Hewlett-Packard HP Compaq dc5100 SFF(EL747US)

Motherboard Model: Hewlett-Packard 09E8h

Motherboard Chipset: Intel 915GV (Grantsdale-GV) + ICH6

According to Intel:

http://ark.intel.com/products/chipsets/5981

That chipset (915GV) is NOT compatible with the P4D series. (Click on compatible products on the left and it lists all CPUs that chipset can take)

Sorry, no go...

ok got that have quite a choice anyway one more thing will going to a graphics card take some of the load off the cpu ?

 

[racer80]

ok thanks for the info

More RAM would do more benefit than a new GPU, but a new GPU can help.

 

[racer80]

i already have 4 gigs of ram in this but it`s only reading 3.22 of it from what I read the onboard graphics is quite a drain on that heard that changing from a celeron to a pentium processor helps a lot and adding a graphics card helps also

 

[scottiemedic]

Celeron to a Pentium is a huge boost. Adding a GPU can help, especially if you're maxed out on RAM. And you're right, old onboard graphics are a drain and poor quality.

You can look up your CPU at

http://ark.intel.com

and see if it supports 64 bit (I think most Celeron Ds support 64 bit). If it does, you can reload Windows with 64 bit and use all 4 GB of RAM (32 bit has 3GB limit). You have to do a full wipe and reload, so only do so if you want and have evrything backed up!! Cheers!

so your saying that it`s no problem going from a celeron d 2.80 ghz to a pentium4 2.80 ghz.and if i go to that and a graphics card it should take some of the lag out of this machine. If I could find a pentium 4 that will do 64 bit will be even better .

 

[scottiemedic]

That's exactly what I'm saying. You should feel a much better responsiveness with a P4 and a new GPU.
