    I have a PB Easynote MV85-002 with an Intel 945GM Express motherboard with a 2.0Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo T7200. I was wondering if I am able to upgrade my CPU? Any suggestions? I was keen on playing Bioshock and MOH: Airborne but their CPU requirements are like 2.4Ghz. Pls help, THX!

    Dont worry about the CPU requirements. They are always stated as a Pentium 4 with 2-3Ghz. Your CPU is way faster then that.

    You could upgrade to a T7400 or T7600 but it would cost you a lot of money so dont do it. Would be a waste.

    You have a ATI X1600 which is ok but not the fastest. It should be able to play MOH Airborne. You cant upgrade your graphics card sorry.

    I have recently purchased, used, a Packard Bell 3600 VX.
    It has only one fault. The DVD drive is jammed closed. Ive tried a paper clip, wont open. Is there a "knack" to opening jammed drives, or will I have to buy a replacement?
    Please advise how to open it short of forcing it.
