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

From what I hear, disassembling and reassembling 700m is not the easiest task in the world. Haven't tried it myself though.

Why do you want to do it? Get a faster CPU? Doing what?

I've done it several times, its not as hard as most makes it out to be. Just take your time, and everything is pretty self explainatory.

i'm a bit confused as to why you are trying to change out cpu from 1.6 to 2.1 when you have only 768 ram and a 40gb 5400rpm hd that you could deal with first. what are you doing that you think the cpu is the bottleneck rather than ram or a larger faster hd?

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 power!
thanks for the suggestion though

True, you need all the power you can get for CPU video encoding. But problem is, 700m is a really poor choice for video encodng. 2.13 CPu will cost you about $400. Integrated graphics don't help.

If you need to do video encoding, I would recommend getting 6000D or 9300, pinmodding it for about $100 and get a killer laptop for around $1100-$1500 instead of wasting $400 for a new CPU.

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.

integrated graphics neither hinder nor help when it comes to video encoding. encoding relies on ram and processor speed.

i do a good amount of my editing and encoding on my 700m using aftereffects 6.5, premiere pro 1.5, and i just started using the new avid hd setup with no issues.. that'll stop soon though cause i'm building a new pentium d 3.0 desktop

Hi dear,

It seems my reply was inadequate.

Integrated graphics don't prevent you from doing your job. However, they will take significant amount of your CPU power and bite a piece of your RAM as well. Your system WILL perform, but it will be a far cry from you would get from "basic" 6000D with dedicated graphics card, fast DDR2 RAM and pinmodded CPU.

Been there, done this.

Best.

Sorry.. May have misread your post.. good luck with your upgrade and video editing on 700m..

wrong again buddy, your video card doesn't have to render anything when youre encoding, it just needs the ability to convert it from separate files and flatten it into a single file.. i will admit that after effects could use a separate video card when rendering some of the crazy effects, but as far as compression and encoding.. you dont need a dedicated graphics card

and obviously if i had a faster cpu and faster ram, programs would perform better, but the difference between a 3 hour render and a 4 hour render isn't that important to me, and im not normally doing anything else on my laptop at the time anyhow.. so what good is ram and a cpu if your not gonna utilize it

Yeah, I am wrong and you are right.

I used to work for Adobe for 6 years and my name is still on their "gone but not forgotten" list.

But I am sure you know better what you you are talking about, buddy.

i'm glad you see it my way.. i seriously have no issues going back and forth from my 3.4ht desktop to my centrino 2.0 laptop.. i can edit on both and have no speed issues whatsoever

yeah.. and on the internet.. we all worked for adobe for 6 years

May I ask where did you get the 2.1 for $275? Nice price

Yeah. YOU CERTAINLY DID. Bye buddy, I'll try to avoid you in the future.

This argument is already over but I should mention that the FPU in P-M is hideous compared to the FPU on most desktop CPUs and encoding of video or audio will take considerably longer on P-M than on the equivalent desktop CPU. If you really want to do video encoding, do it on a desktop.
