    i currently have a

    T5450 1.66GHz Processor (Socket P from what I've read online)
    CPUZ says its the Dell 0XR509 motherboard with a GM965 chipset w/ latest A08 firmware
    160GB SATA HDD
    8400M GS Graphics card
    2.0MP webcam
    802.11abgn wifi card
    biometric fingerprint reader


    i was wondering if i could upgrade my entire motherboard for one with a 8600m gt so i can play some call of duty on the go. What kind of motherboard would i have to get that would be compatible with these things?

    8400m and 8600m are known faulty, so be carefull when you buy a motherboard.
    You could end up with someones faulty GPU.
