Re: Can i upgrade CPU and graphics card?
Some newer laptops have upgrade capabilities, but changing your CPU or GPU may cause some unwanted heat, parts are also very specific, if a part isn't made for your model of laptop, chances are you won't be able to upgrade.
Though I've never done it myself. |

Re: Can i upgrade CPU and graphics card?
As for CPU... I think it is possible. CPU should fit and be supported by motherboard. As for GPU... choices are limited (due to shape and size), that is if it is not integrated in the mobo.

Re: Can i upgrade CPU and graphics card?
I suggest you check intel website. Also you need to know if your motherboard supports it... best bet is Samsung website.

Re: Can i upgrade CPU and graphics card?
I looked at the intel web-site and realy didn't find anything for that. I also looked at samsung web-site and didn't find anything either. Truly i posted a question on this forum about that. I knew that i could upgrade but to what?
If you have any suggestions please tell me. Thanks.. |
