    I asked information to the asus and to the intel technical support three days ago, but today i haven't again answer!

    I would like to do an upgrade of the laptop, like change cpu , ram, hard disk etc. but i can't find manual of my mainboard. On the site, intel write that the chipset 943 support only celeron processor, but my processor is intel pentium dual-core. Can i make processor dual-core 2? Can i change grafic card?
    I only know taht i can upgrade the Ram max 2GB.

    Have anyone notice or information about my laptop or motherboard?
    Thank's so match

    Goodness me -- the total cost of what you're talking about upgrading is going to be as much or more than what a current generation budget laptop is going to cost.

    MB: probably 150-200
    cpu: 100-150
    ram: 75
    HDD: 75-100

    My advice - spend the money on a new notebook, which will perform better and even have a warranty too.

    thank's, i think the same, but i can take another laptop with display crashed only for 100 euros, with better hard disk (compatible because is Sata like mine), cpu intel core duo 2 and grafic card nvidia with 256MB dedicated memory. With 100s euro i can to have a new laptop ;)
    And now I would like to know what i can to do with my device. Is It normal that i can't find manual of my motherboard anywhere else?
