Seagate now has a 100 GB 5400 that will work in the 6805. (Which is ATA BTW, not SATA.) I believe that there is also a 120 gig, (Seagate) and a 160, (Not seagate) I just don't remember the speeds on the latter two.

Except that earilier in this thread, someone mentioned that you would not get any battery life benefit from it on this laptop according to Emachines, which deos seem doubtful since the power draw is supposed to be less, you would think there was some gain from it. You may get a cooler running...

Holy crap they now have a Mobile Athlon 64 4000+ 2.6 GHz!!!! WHOOHOO! They didn't even list that a week and a half ago, when I looked last! http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/ProductInformation/0,,30_118_10220_10221%5E10269,00.html

I worry about heat when you do that. Although the new version has a 3700+ in it, the cooling may not be quite the same.

Hey thanks for the Info! Probably going to pick up a 3400+ for it now. That, and a faster drive.

What laptop do you have that has 128 megs of video ram? Must not be a 6805/7. If it is, how hard is it to upgrade the video ram?

Has anyone upgraded the processor in this? I am wondering how high a speed you can put in this safely. I am thinking of putting a Mobile 3400+ in it.Will there be any BIOS issues? Will the power now feature still work? How about heat issues? I upgraded the processor in a Compaq Athlon XP laptop...

I read earlier in this forum, that it is only two screws on the bottom of the case. You don't have to remove the cover. I can see the ones they refer to and it looks like they are in the right place. I have not tried it. (yet)
