    Ok this can NOT be an up grade. But when your machine does NOT function at all. Anything will work. I had a handfull of these processors on hand and tried one. System boots to bios.
    Intel Pentium M 745 1.80GHz 400MHz FSB 2MB L2 Cache Socket 478 Mobile Processor Mfr P/N SL7EN
    http://www.memory4less.com/m4l_item...SL7EN&rid=88&gclid=COPD86iYlcYCFUs8gQod8qYA6w

    I'll have to find where I've posted the #'s for the machine and post them later.

    I gave the points to you.... :cool:
    When you get 25 points they the admins give you a free addiction to Toughbooks.... :D
    No one has ever made it past 10 points before they are fully addicted anyway :eek:
    The points are just attaboys for really good or helpful posts... :vbthumbsup:.

    Here is where Blair means to post a for sale thread with any oddball stuff you have.

    Here's the numbers from my CF-51. Copied from another posting. it seems that they are 2 different numbers. CF51MK225H06136 is the number on the sticker under the ramm. CF-51ZFYZCZM is the one on metal plate. Any ideas there?

    CF-51ZFYZCZM is the model number

    The LCD in that Dell will probably work in a CF52 with the ATI graphics.

    Ok. Booted it to Bios. This is what it reads. CF-51JF4ECBM Which translates to Pent M 760 15 inch uxga 80 gb hdd 1 gb ram and it's a MK2
    So guess it wasn't a duo after all. Which ought to explain why the spare M cpu's work.

    And I plan on doing just that with my soon to arrive CF-51, she'll also get more storage, more RAM, and a fresh Linux distro installed "My pappy said son you're going drive me to drinking if you don't stop driving that Hot Rod ToughBook" SpazzBox her nickname.

    I think I upgraded 8 with the T7200 2.0 mhz and 1 with the T7600 but I found the fan was running all the time so I stuck with the T7200.

    I agree with you from reading the thread, a T 7200 makes sense and gives the impression of speed and stability.
