swapping processors on a m6811

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Is there any issues doing this? I am consdering swapping a Sempron 3000 into my lappie. It is the same socket size as the CPU that is in there (754). Seems to run a bit slower (1.6 vs 2.2 ghz) and it should be much cooler. I would imagine that the battery life would be better also. Anyone know if it can be done?

Not possible. Bios will not support it. The bios has also not been able to be modified either.

Going down to a sempron would be downgrading. Shoot for a 4000+ with a Gateway 7426GX bios.

I've tried it, no sempron 754pin or athlon xp 754pin will boot.
