Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
Hi guys. I have given up the idea of getting a new laptop, and instead will take my other laptop an A31 and upgrade/mod it to a A31p.
I will require some advice and recommendations from you guys. With each component I will put up the current spec of the A31 and what part I will want to upgrade it to and the approx price.
CPU
P4-M 1.6GHz => Keeping this CPU as battery life will be better than if I upgrade to a higher speed P4-M.
Memory
2x256MB DDR-266 => Might upgrade this later on.
LCD
15" 1024x768 => 15" 1600x1200 .
Wondering if this would be possible to run on a Radeon 7500 16Mb? Would I have to replace the motherboard to the A31p motherboard to get the FireGL ??
Video Card
Radeon 7500 16Mb => See LCD section.
Wireless
I want to get a Wireless b/g mpci card. Any ideas??
Harddrive
30Gb 5400rpm => Hitachi 60Gb 7200rpm .
Will this 60gb 7200rpm drive work on the A31? Will the bios recognize it? Any issues with the hdd like in the T4x series?
Optical Drive
8x DVD-ROM => 8x DVD+/-RW Drive 24x CDRW
Thanks for any ideas/suggestions/advice.
IBM A31 => A31p Conversion
