NV5302u upgrade limitations?
Hi all I just bought a Gateway NV5302 and I would like to know the upgrade limitations to this laptop as far as ram, CPU, video card go. I have tried to find more than just the regular retail spec and haven't had much luck. I appreciate any help. Thank you. http://tinyurl.com/yg32gmd |

CPU upgrades provide little bang for the buck, and are rarely worth it for laptops with not-so-easy disassembly. Looks like the fastest AMD processor sold with the NV series is 2.2GHz, according to their web site. You won't notice the change from 2 to 2.2GHz, a 10% improvement on a good day with a high tailwind. Memory access speeds, disk access speeds, and internet access speeds do not change with a processor upgrade. RAM - probably 4Gb is the max. The system uses DDR2, and I am unaware of any 4GB DDR2 notebook memory. Video card - Does it have a separate video card, or is the video subsystem integrated onto the motherboard? This appears to be a special model done by Gateway for Best Buy. It is not shown on the Gateway web site... Ben Myers |
