    Im trying to fix my old M11R1. Im ordering a motherboard and just want to know if there is a visual difference between the SU4100 and the SU7300.. I obviously want the SU7300 but without actually testing the motherboard is there anyway to tell from photos??

    thanks!!

    They look the same but have different part numbers. You could ask for that to the seller.

    Hey!
    Thanks for the reply.. Would you know where the part number is located? im taking a chance and ordering this from china. im just trying to get as much information about it so I dont get screwed...

    I guess the part numbers have SU4100 or SU7300 somewhere in the number?

    Wrong. The SU7300 & SU4100 are both R1 processors.
