TN.Frank Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Currently have a couple HP/Compaq NC6400's that have Intel Core Duo T2400, 1.83GHz processors in em'. I'd like to upgrade my #1 to an Intel Core Duo T2700, 2.33GHz processor which would run around $50 bucks but I'm not sure if it'd give me that much in the way of more performance since it'd still run a 667MHz bus. So, those of ya' that are "in the know" on such things, would moving from the T2400 to the T2700 give me much of a boost or would it just be a waste of money? Thanks.

i8igmac Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 If u want to feel and see improvements... get a solid state hard drive... I doubt you will experience any kind of performance increase with the chip upgrade you post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt you will experience any kind of performance increase with the chip upgrade you post I'm one step ahead of ya' on that. I have an SSD in my #1 NC6400 and in my NC4400 as well.

cooper Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Maybe you should state what you typically do with the machine and where the percieved slowness is. Maybe you just need more ram or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petur Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Indeed, my aging Core2 Duo laptop has had SSD and RAM upgrades (and a new battery), and is still plenty fast. Running a light linux distro on it helps a lot too. 6+ years and still plenty fast :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
