Upgrading laptop..

JamesXP · Sep 24, 2008

I have an Acer Travelmate C302XMi, and I'm thinking about upgrading the CPU/HDD

It has a 1.6GHz Banias now, can I upgrade to a dothan (chipset is 855GME)

and currently it has a 60GB drive, could I put maybe a 160GB drive in there?

unless you can get the dothan for next to nothing, i'd say it is better to just grab a new laptop?

you can get the 7200.2 momentus seagate drive for the hdd.

dothans do go for next to nothing

No Egg.

I was really just looking for a faster drive, it's only a 4200RPM, which can be quite sluggish...

hmm. Look for and compare the 7200.2 drives for comparison. Otherwise the newest 5400rpm seagate is supposed to be pretty quick too.

he most likely has a IDE hdd, not sata
last time i checked in the US, 2.2ghz dothans were about $150. i have a 1.7 735 dothan in my laptop and its really nice when its undervolted
