I'm trying to upgrade an ASUS laptop running on an intel i5-2450M 2.50GHz. Am I looking at the right thing?

Check with Asus for recommended upgrades is always the best move to save you the trouble of buying the wrong CPU. Here is a link to the G2 socket family of CPUs

Very few laptops have a cpu that can be changed. If yours does then look at an i7 if the main board can support it. Changing out an i5 to another i5 isn't going to give you a big enough bump for the hassle of making the change. Hope this helps....

What are you looking to upgrade to? Another i5? If so I don't think you will gain any noticable performance. Why are you upgrading? You may only need a memory upgrade.

No. This processor is for desktop pcs...not laptops. You need to look for an i5 Intel M processor...

I am so sorry, but I cannot help you with this question. I just ordered for my brother.

I have the ASUS Eee PC 1005PEB-RBLU01S - I am also interested in upgrading the RAM - am interested in any all information - the good, the bad, the ugly....

I would suggest checking the product website, they have listed the compatible chipsets and processors

The best way is search in the Intel website. I have a Pentium I5, The graphics are very good.

Preferably 1600 to 2400mhz will do, your definitely going to want to overclock this APU to squeeze out it's performance. I do not recommend going over 4.1 on the overclock though. But even 1600 mhz ram can be sped up a bit to get some extra performance out of the thing.

Not sure, I'm running on intel (R) core (tm)2 CPU 6300 @ 1.86 ghz with a 32 bit operating system. It is working good for me

Unfortunately, we don't know. The ASUS website is unclear as to the maximum RAM supported by the BIOS. Beyond that, we also need to remember that the laptop comes with the 32-bit Windows XP, supporting a max of 4GB of RAM, and only showing 3.5 (32-bit architecture limitation).

I see that same thing in my task manager. I'm not sure, I do know for sure that this motherboard has custom soldered on 4gb of RAM in dual channel configuration and zero sodimm slots period. So, you can not upgrade. It is likely the processor and chipset are able to support another slot, if there were one. Asus has clearly really customized this machine to cram everything in here.

By the way look at the user manual that is available online so you can verify if is compatible with the processor you want

Your motherboard is limited to a 95 Watt CPU so you would require this CPU Phenom II 945 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002XNBQJQ .. I remember this from a family members motherboard I upgraded a while ago . ASUS makes it hard to find the support page for this motherboard ,I found it once . The M2N68-AM SE is the 95 watt version of the M2N68-AM. I found the support page on my computer http://support.asus.com/cpusupport/list.aspx?SLanguage=en&p=1&s=24&m=M2N68-AM%20SE2&os=25&hashedid=rzWjxRHTivB96wPd .. You may have to update the BIOS to a newer version to run any CPU upgrade

No Intel fanboy, It only takes AM3+ AMD processors. But Asus does offer Intel compatible options if that's what you want.

I am not certain if that is the right chip for you. You will need to research your motherboard. Try going to the HP web site, since they own Compaq now. I installed it on a ECS A885GM-A2, with 8g of ram and a SSD. The operating system is Linux Ubuntu 12.04LTS. I am curently very happy with the performance.

I had no problem upgrading to 8.1 - Asus have excellent customer service so I suggest you contact them.

Thanks a lot for your response Askal, I have a core i7 2.98 Ghz with 4 GB RAM I will get the unit.

M., I just spoke to ASUS and they do NOT recommend an upgrade to the 1000he. They will not get into Mhz that I can use, just simply state "The 1000he comes with 1GB 667Mhz. We do not recommend you upgrade to 2GB or change the Mhz. ANY upgrades to the system will void it's warrenty."Can you give me any argument on this?

It is listed as 2.4 ghz, and it's a quad processor. It's fast for a moderate priced laptop.
