Can I Upgrade My Processer?
Can I upgrade my processer?
no you would need a new motherboard,ram and video card -processor sockets are different from the sempron to the AM2-AM3 -your video card is agp these are no longer supported and you would need a pci-e card although they still have some agp cards on the market but its not worth it if pci is faster and cheaper -your ram is DDR1 you would have to go DDR2 or DDR3 Parts are really cheap though you could easily build an a decent pc under $500 thats alot more powerful then yours

Will this computer (LapTop) run spore? How much will it cost to upgrade?
Like Aaron said, you are out of luck there. The unfortunate things about laptops is that other than the memory and hard drive, nothing else can be upgraded (unless you are one creative SOB). You are only solution is to buy another PC. If you want something for gaming, I would definitely say that you should go with a desktop. Laptops can game, do not get me wrong, however the upgradability, power, and bang-for-your-buck of a desktop outweighs the portability of any notebook (personal opinion). For a good desktop, search around sites like Tigerdirect and Newegg and see what deals they have. They often have sales on different desktops. They also have barebone kits for a pretty decent price, only thing is you will have to build them yourself and buy a few more components (operating system, video card, cd/dvd/bluray drives, monitor, keyboard, mouse, upgraded cooling, etc.). Look around for a quad core processor (dual works fine if you are on a budget), 3 gigs of RAM (REMEMBER, you MUST have a 64bit operating system in order to utilize more than 4 gigs of RAM), and one or two hard drives. For video cards, I love my 9800 GT (because I got it free from a friend, woohoo!) but for higher-end games you will need to shell out big money on your card. If you need that portability then just go with a slightly more expensive model laptop, that way you will get both. I would recommend an HP or an Acer, but look for one that states the graphics card (Radeon HD 4650, etc.). You will need anywhere from 2-4 GB of RAM (the more the better), and a 250GB hard drive should be fine (if you really need 500 gigs on a laptop, just friggen buy a 2.5" portable drive. That much in an everyday laptop is overkill.). All-in-all, expect to pay about $400 for any (decent) new computer. The better specifications you choose, the higher the price. The best advice I can give you is to compare every system that looks interesting with other websites. You see one you like on Newegg, then you look for one similar on Tigerdirect, as well as Bestbuy, Costco/BJ's/Sam's Club, etc. Hope any of this helps!

ASUS makes extremely stable video reveal instruments. They outsource their panels from Samsung. . so in certainty ASUS would not particularly totally produce their very own liquid crystal reveal video reveal instruments. they only make the shell and use Samsung branded liquid crystal reveal's. Samsungs are between the extra beneficial liquid crystal reveal producer's around.
