Hello again OCN,
So recently I purchased a clearance hp envy 6 1010us from staples for ridiculously cheap, and it seems to be running a but slow. I already put a 64g SSD into it but I checked CPU-Z and the RAM is only single channel. Does anyone happen to know if thats a limitation of the MOBO/CPU? or is HP just really cheap when it comes to RAM? Also on a side note does anyone know if it's possible to overclock the A6? I tried k10stat but it said it didn't recognize the CPU
Another question I had is whether or not it would be possible to just scrap the A6 chip altogether and upgrade to an A8 or something. I did some googlefu and couldn't find a definitve answer, but most people were warning that the BIOS might not recognize that chip, or that it would run underclocked. Has anyone had any experience upgrading the A6 envys? Although i think this is a staples only model, they are probably all using a similar MOBO/BIOS.
Will update later with a link to the product (can't load the page on this comp for some reason)
Thank you very much in advance!!
