My son goes off to college (or trade school) next year [sniff] and I think he'll probably need a laptop. I have a Compaq presario CQ60-417dx that I've had for nearly a decade (I got it as basically a throwaway comp to take to Iraq).
Anyway, I've been noodling around on the googles most of the day trying to see what I can make out of this thing.
Current specs:
CPU: Intell Celeron M 900
RAM: 3GB DDR2 PC2-6400
Mobo: Wistron 3612 w/ Intel GL40 chipset (latest BIOS just flashed)
HDD: 160GB 5400RPM HP
So, the most obvious route is to throw in an SSD (I have one, and will do so).
Anyone have any experience with this platform? I could swap in "upgraded" mobo/CPU/ RAM for like $75, worth it?
