upgrading my cq62

Hey guys, Im currently looking to buy a more powerfull laptop but, in the meantime id like some options on what i can upgrade my current CQ62.

I know i want to add some more ram, CPU-z shows i have pc3-10700 ram, Is that 1333mhz? cpu-z also shows it running at only 533mhz. Should i get 1066 or 1333 ram? I notice there are different speed rating listed on cpu-z is there anyway to activate those. Sofar i think the bios is pretty locked up so i cant do much there.

The other thing i was thinking was swapping the hdd for an ssd. that should help also i would think.

Any ideas from you guys what else i could do?

Thanks,

Jerid

 

I have same laptop as you. I'm going to upgrade the cpu and memory, and hard drive to SSD but I'm also going to get HDD adapter so I can use my dvd burner slot as HDD slot and use my SSD as a main OS hard drive because they wear out on heavy usage I'm a heavy user lol.

the memory type is 10600
Newegg.com - Computer Hardware,Memory,Laptop Memory,204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM,DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600)

the cpu
List of AMD Phenom microprocessors - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

if you scroll down to mobile check and look at TDP stay with 25w
but most this cpu aren't available in ebay yet only one I have found
"Turion II P520 2.3 GHz 2x 1 MB 1.8 GHz 11.5x 25 W S1G4 May 12, 2010 TMP520SGR23GM"

but I want quad on my laptop lol.

well good luck. I hope this helped.

 

You more or less have the same as 1333MHz RAM, so just go get some of the same speed and you should be fine.

Only goto a SSD is you dont intend to store much on the laptop. If that is the case then a good small and cheap SSD will be great for fast OS and program loading, saves a small bit of battery, lastly you will not hear it running.
