    Hello. I want to know if i can change the motherboard in my 1640 with an 1645 so i can put an I7 cpu. Can i make this? Will it fit there or do i have to make more changes. I am asking you because i have seen on ebay 1645 motherboards and things like that. I know that it may cost more then a regular selling and re buying a new one but just for the curiosity and the passion for making yourself the change :p

    The heatsink is quite a bit different, and someor all screw holes are in different places.
