If My computer has 996 Mhz how can i upgrade it to 1 Ghz ?

Question

Please tell a free way if there is just tell me all the ways

Answer 1

There is a way which involves playing with the microchip but it is extremely risky and instead to sprucing it up, you may render it completely useless. Thus, you would lose your original chip and would have to buy a new one.

In some types of chips, the speed can also be changed by changing the CMOS settings with some software or you can call up your local computer guy.

In the hardware method, basically you have to just re-wire some circuits and fix the others with insulation. Many things can also go wrong if by chance you damage the central core.

The software one is safer thought I see no reason why you would want to increase such a little speed unless your Star Wars KOTOR game says 1 GHz. Well, I chanced to read your other question and my suggestion is that don't do anything to your CPU speed. The game will run fine, take my assurance. Computer games only recommend things and there is no way, they would stop you from playing if they think that your CPU is a bit short of 1 GHz.

BTW, increasing the speed of the chip by modifying it is known as overclocking. Just some terminology, you know.

Answer 2

Up-Grading Microprocessor of your PC is unlike upgrading RAM or Hard-Disk.
You have to change entire Chip to upgrade. To Do that, You must have compatible Mother-Board: that supports your New microprocessor.You cannot add 4 MHz Extra on your existing Mother-Board.

At this point, If you are feeling that your computer is slow,You have two options:
1. Upgrade your RAM ( Random Access Memory)
It will help much especially if you have problem with Slow Speed.
2. Upgrade your Microprocessor as well as Mother-Board (to P4 say) it will increase processing speed of the PC.

Note:You can opt for BOTH of the options Simultaneously for best results.

Answer 3

The 966MHZ that you are referring to is the speed of the processor (CPU). To change the speed of the processor you have to do one of two things.

Either buy a new processor, making sure that your motherboard will support a newer, faster, processor or you could, if you have the experience, overclock the existing processor. If you have no experience in such matters you would be advised to not try it.

If you really want to upgrade the processor, installing it also will require a certain level of expertise. With that said it you always have the option of taking the computer to a reputable shop and have them to the upgrade.

Here are a couple of links to give you an idea what it takes to overclock or install a CPU.

Answer 4

I would recoomend geting a new processor but this inturn means checking the mother board suppors it, may be worth buying a new system for that money

Answer 5

you have 1Ghz, the extra 4 Mhz is read by the compter as being used so it doen't read it.

Answer 6

Install more memory
