    Hi guys/gals. Whats the fastest P4 i can use in my aspire 1705smi? The manual says the cpu is upgradable, but not the video memm, which is not a bad 128mb standard (or it was couple years ago)! Any ideas??

    What is the Exact CPU you have in there now (front side bus, cache, model, etc.)

    Run CPUID to find out - then let us know!

    Why not a faster hard drive first. You'll get more bang there.

    Hi chazman421, my aspire 1705smi has: P4 northwood 3.06 (478 Pin), L2 cache 512, 533 FSB. Memory is 512 pc2100 ddr sdram, nvidia geforce go5600 with 128mb ram, 120gb harddrive and a crappy mat****a dvdr drive :-(. Guys, on a side note, check out www.ajp.co.uk and see what you think about their new lappy, it deffo kicks bottom :), and i thought acer's 1804 was good.

    I'm pretty sure you could put up to a 3.4GHz P4 in that laptop, seeing that it is a P4-M + 533MHz FSB. I don't see why you would want to upgrade the processor though, 3.06GHz is very fast! :p

    Yes, that laptop is pretty nice (from the link). It is a rebadged Clevo, sold by of computer companies. It's huge, but immensley powerful!
