    I've searched the forums some and haven't found a definitive answer for where to get all laptop hardware. RAM is fairly easy to find, but what about processors and Wireless cards? I've found some on ebay but am a little hesitant to buy parts there. On newegg/tigerdirect i only saw core2duo processors and I want a quad.

    I have no issue with eBay, as long as the sellers have good customer records and that I can check against eBay itself.

    Regardless, take care of your payments and you should be fine getting parts anywhere.

    cheers ...
