Upgrading hp laptop

[hhugo Hugo]

Hello there.It's the first time i'm posting in the forums but i actually follow the forums for quite some time.
So i own a HP G62.
It's kinda crap and is getting old but i don't really got the money to buy a new one.
I'm kinda of a "gamer", but this laptop cannot run games at decent fps and ALWAYS overheats,even when i'm doing normal tasks.
I want to know if there is any Component that i can upgrade that is compatible with the laptop that will help me increse the fps.
I'm not looking to play games like BF on HIGH or MEDIUM(lol) even if i could run it at LOW smoothly would help allot.Also i'm buying Coolmer Master Note-Pal X3 cooling stand, and i hope that the overheat problems go away.

If you can help me anyhow,i would apreciate it.

Thanks in advance

You'd really need to upgrade the integrated graphics that come with the laptop and that isn't possible.

I used to play Crossfire with some 60-150 fps AND i guess it's not that but i wanted to kinda bump it up a lil bit.
If i upgrade the ram,wich is currently 4G will it make some notable diference?

I'm afraid it won't make a huge (or in any way significant) difference in graphics performance.

I'm looking for the article that would support me and prevent you from "wasting" your money on RAM.

upgrading your ram is about all you can do and it will make some difference,though it may not be as much as you expect. bottom line is this is just not built for gaming. if it was mine tho i would throw another 4gigs of ram at it.your specs show 8gig supported.

Going from 4GB to 8GB increases the FPS by a mere 3 frames.

I've read somewhere else that is possible to upgrade the CPU.
Is that true?

 

[Kampinkarl1]

Not in a laptop, no. If you could upgrade the CPU, you'd be able to upgrade the integrated graphics processing.

oh dear,i guess i'm screwd.i guess i'll save some money and buy a computer for like 300$

 

[Kampinkarl1]

Lol. You can get a $300 dollar computer to play BF4 but it won't be for long.

Why not?

Because at that price, you'd be sacrificing quality parts that are newer and have greater longevity than those that would be available in a $300 dollar build. Do you have a desktop PC now?
