    Okay I have a Dell M1210 that had a T5600 in it and other basic specs. I got a great deal on a T2300 $50 and downgraded the Dell to this chip, it's still very usable. T2300, 1gb ddr2, 80gb HD, Wifi, Bluetooth, XP media, still a very good unit.

    Now I want to take some of the other parts I have, the T5600 chip, a 250 SATA HD, 2 * 1gb DDR2 mem chips, so basically the makings of another good laptop. But every unit I see is 800mhz, and states they are compatible with the T7*** series.

    Can someone recommend a good unit that will take this mem, chip and HD, and a site that has it in stock. Prefer, 12 inch or 13.3, and 14 if it a a really nice barebone. I'd like to keep cost of the barebone around $700. Please point me in the right direction, as I'd like to turn the m1210 over to the wife and get working on my new lappy right after the New Year :).
