I saw something on this in another thread, how do you do it, are there any downsides?

I'm really experienced on desktop systems but never mobile systems...plus I'd like to be 100% sure I want to do it before I crack this open all over again and stick wires in holes.

I have a P-M 750

please note that even thought it has a slot, its iffy if youll be able to actually upgrade the video...theres some post on these forums that has a side by side of the 6200 to 6800 GO's and the size difference is huge...who knows what nextgen ones will be like. thats the one major component that is n...

I just poked around at my distributers, and I can get an Asus Z91 with combo drive for $485, not sure on shipping cost but its probably cheap. Is this a good price? Does anyone want in on that? I wouldnt want to handle it but I would refer you to my distributer who you could then order from. I cant ...

um..wow...youre really probably better off with a desktop, anything with those specs will be a) huge and b) have almost no battery life

Great news! Get the OS and all installed on it yet? Yep, I actually got it done Thursday...that meant I went a bit over budget as I had to get a harddrive at compusa (140 for an 80 gig 5400 RPM, nocticibly more expensive but i really dont have patience), and I'm using 256 megs of RAM my friend gave...

hey i posted a documentary thread on my efforts thats good enough right?


;)

Well I spent way more on the harddrive to get it the day the chassis came in, and I'm using 256 megs of RAM my friend gave me until I sell some stuff so I can buy a gig, but basically IT'S DONE! Just a quick bunch of pictures of taking it apart :p [img]http://www.kronchev.com/laptop/laptop%20(1).JPG...

holy fsck thats an expensive harddrive and processor, i would NOT order from them at that price...newegg or zipzoomfly, mang

So the chassis comes today :D :D :D I finally did some hardcore research and found these pages on it: http://www.digitalstar.com.au/_PowerNote_S260_SPEC.aspx http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/manual/mnu/spt_mnu_detail.php?UID=607&kind=11 Two things, first off the MSI American site sucks ass....

Holy crap I'm in!

:p

usually, at least in some of the newer chassis, there are 2 DDR slots: one up under the keyboard (just gotta pop the keyboard loose by unhinging the clips beneath it) and one on the back where you unscrew the panel. If I were you, I would do a little spelunking when you get your chassis, just to ma...

well i just ordered the chassis from chumbo.com, they had a good reseller rating...so now my credit card is absolutly maxed but hey :D i just sold my psp so i got 350 coming in to help defer the cost of this, plus some other stuff. now i just need the ram, harddrive, and network card. i actually hav...

well isnt that excellent..the chassis i had up there is GONE from the site. now they only have the similar one...i really dont know the difference, but this one is about $60 more expensive for really, no difference :rolleyes: i cant wait anymore, this was the only lead i have. i paid off my credit c...

The ASUS Z71A does not have the slot at all mainboard. Also they have 3 sizes of MXM cards, so a 6800 Go won't fit in the place of the 6600 Go. MXM-1 - 6200 Go MXM-2 - 6600 Go MXM-3 - 6800 Go http://www.legitreviews.com/images/reviews/133/cards.jpg In the above picture the 6800 Go is on the right a...

oh ok, well then the SuperTalent notebook should do you fine, except for the fact you're going to have to buy a wireless card, but no big deal, just so long as your processor is stout enough to handle all that compiling. 8) 1.87 pentium M, itll thrash most anything except a higher M :p so the proc ...

Cheers on the job man. I'm looking for one myself, cuz here in SC the jobs are all being absorbed by those being displaced by the textile plant closings (there have been a lot of em this year). It's been a month now, but I'm still hopeful, and looking. Hopefully, when I get finished with my Cisco c...

Just won a P-M 750 for $180 :) looks like this is gonna be pretty hooked up. Again the body is the most expensive part, blah...by a long shot. Buut I have a lot of refs for a job and I just gotta send the supervisor my resume and I probably have a source of income :) that other shell looks ok but it...

omg you can see me in the 3rd picture

I made a huge, huge post in Notebook Chassis about what I was looking at, bu the crash took out both my user name and my post. So here I am reregistered and posting again! Quick about me: I build a lot of computers but never a notebook, this is going to be a slow build as in, I can get things gradua...

Repaired? My user name was completly gone and this huge post I made was gone
