already purchased..... $275... the point to this topic was to see if there were any tips that the others had for replacing the cpu .... not for deciding to upgrade. Im am very happy with the size of the 700m do not want to change.

thats been changed..... just havent updated the sig.. i have 1.5 memory and 60 gig 7200 rpm drive. you can add all the ram you want and the fastest drive available..... but when dealing with video encoding and such you need plain cpu...

yes moving from a 1.6 to a 2.1 cpu. Need more power.

Those of you who have done this....... any problems that you ran into? Any tips for a smooth disassembly. I know this is a major job.......of couse the manual dosent show everything..... thanks

i sit corrected....... must have been the drinking b4 installing the drive....

FYI The face plate is not removable on the nec 6550. it is part of the whole tray. the drive does work but the faceplate is alittle smaller than the dell faceplate. it doesnt bother me tho.

does it just use the same 2 antenna hook ups like other cards? or another for the bluetooth? thanks

my fathers 6000d keyboard had 2 keys pop off and i was just able to snap them back on. im sure if you have the parts it will work.

most shipments i have got from dell have been "signature required" and the laptops and computers are "adult signature required" i think that you can try to leave a note but, im not sure it will work.

i wouldnt even bother! its not worth taking a chance you dont get something back together right. taking this laptop apart is not that easy. i think i remember you have to pull the whole motherboard to access the cpu! not worth...
