Re: I need an Upgrade
I'd recommend getting an amd64 for a processor - they run 32bit just fine, or you could go for a 64bit OS. I run Gentoo under native 64bit, it loves that, but 32bit winxp (mainly because ati don't support <9500 64bit windows drivers, and I have a radeon 9250se) which still runs quite nice.

Re: I need an Upgrade
I also agree with the AMD64 CPU (shoulda got one myself)

Re: I need an Upgrade
i use amd 64 3200+.. 512 ram.. the ram is rather low but i cant afford buying more yet.. amd 64 works great.. but if you dont have a OS that support it, you dont use it fully..

Re: I need an Upgrade
faster CPU? i don't think my medion is upgradable at all. Except for battery, HD and CD/RW/DVD...

Re: I need an Upgrade
Dunno about a medion .
But all the laptops i service at work can be upgraded the cpu. To the point where it would fit. (compatible with mobo) Also the memory some have only one mem slot in that case it can be swaped with a bigger one. And some have 2 slots then just add a new one to the second spare slot. Some latops have easy access via the bottom. Others you have to remove the keyboard and a few screws from the top side. |
