Hey TH guys,
Im currently in the process of upgrading an HP Pavilion DV5000 running Windows XP with a AMD turion ML37 2.0ghz Proc. Im wondering what is the fastest CPU i can put into it? Ive been looking around and I'm getting mixed signals as to which one is the best for the socket. Some posts I read say you can put an AMD 64 4000+ 2.6Ghz Newark into it and itll work, others say the fastest is a AMD 64 3700+ Clawhammer. I'm honestly unsure between either one.At first I was contemplating an AMD Turion ML-44 2.4Ghz as it seemed more of a logical jump by keeping the turion genes flowing, but at this point I'm thinking if I'm going to upgrade it I might as well upgrade it to the best processor that is available to the socket rather than just keeping the Turion labeling consistent.
Its going to be my workhorse and Game laptop for as long as I can manage it. The current Turion processor is pretty slow and flip flopping like crazy with its outputs for some reason, so an upgrade to the processor would be great. I am also contemplating putting better ram in it but thats a different matter for a different day.
Any thoughts?
