Question

Hey I just bought a laptop called vostro 1500 it has santa rosa platform in it.

While customizing I noticed that the highest I could choose was the t7700 which was like 2.4ghz I want the extreme core 2 duo for the laptop that just came out called the x7900 can my laptop handle it and is it compatible?

and I wanted to add 8700m graphic card but the highest they would let me pick is 8600m gt. Can it handle it.

Is dell giving me these limits just so I can buy a more expensive model of vostro or because vostro 1500 can't handle it?

In most laptops, only memory (RAM) and hard drives are upgradeable, so the simple answer is No.

Answer 2

Wow, i might purely get myself a sparkling computing gadget and return the Toshiba in case you nonetheless can, or otherwise sell it. whilst i purchase a working laptop or computing gadget, i might look on the fee, the RAM, and the variety. Toshiba basically lasts as much as a million-2 years from what my chum has lengthy previous by way of with determining to purchase 2 of them in purely 3 years time. I purely offered myself a Sony, which grew to become into rather well worth the money. 2.2 GHz or bigger with Intel center, and four gig of RAM is your ultimate purchase!! I had AMD, 2.2 GHz, living house windows Vista, and 3 gig of RAM (great computing gadget until eventually it broke down!) on my HP computing gadget that lasted 4 years. Upgrading your RAM won't do lots, it fairly is going to basically upload extra storage, no longer speed with the intention to maintain it working.
