Alright, thanks alot guys. It's not that my computer is playing slideshow when I run FS but as always, I want to boost performance. Again thank for the advice.

Okay, I took a look at the users manual of my PC and it saids you can replace the processor if it is an Intel. Do think the AMD I've got could be replaced anyway.

Okay, your right, it got up to 2.8, thank for all your help and now I can go on tweaking and modifying stuff in the never-ending endevour of FSX performance...

Alright, I just have a quick question for ya'll. I want to change my laptop's processor to try and increase the speed from a max of 2.8 Ghz to maybe a max of 3.2 Ghz with the new processor that I am looking at. Right now I've got a AMD A8-4500M W/ Radeon HD 7640G Graphics, its base speed is 1.9 Ghz, and it can TB to 2.8 Ghz. What I want is a AMD A10-4600M W/ Radeon HD 7660G Graphics, its base speed is 2.4 Ghz and it can TB to 3.2 Ghz. The caches are the same, so that's not a problem. I am not a hardcore gamer. and I want a good value. I am not a computer whiz, but I can put a processor in a PC. Thanks, flyboy...

I am thinking about upgradeing my laptop CPU. I have links to my current processor and the one I am thinking about purchasing. Really the only thing that I have a question about is the compatability of the socket, and power supply of each one. The one I have now : http://www.cpu-world...s A8-4500M.html The one I want : http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Bulldozer/AMD-A10-Series%20A10-4600M.html Here's the computer I have as well : http://www.newegg.co...ptops-Notebooks ,flyboy :smile:

I am not trying to OC it, I just want to know why it's not getting up to 2.8Ghz.

I gave that a try, but it stayed stubbornly at 1.9...

Okay, here's the problem. I bought an HP Pavilion DV6-7010US. It's a great laptop. The thing is though that it runs at 1.9Ghz (A little slow). Everything I have heard and read about it indicated that I could get it to go all the way up to 2.8 Ghz. (A little fast). Here's the specs: AMD Quad-Core A8-4500M @ 1.9 Ghz 6GB RAM AMD Radeon HD 7640G Discrete-Class Graphics If there's something I can do... please let me know. ,flyboy993.
