Medski Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 (edited) on my XPS Gen 2 system, wich is supposed to be a M170, i have the following MB in: CardBus controller: Ricoh R5C841 PC Card connector: 1, supports one Type I or Type II card Cards Supported: 3.3V and 5V PC cards connector size 68 pins Data width (max) PCMCIA 16 bits CardBus 32 bits. To my understanding its the same basic board that's in the newer Inspiron 9400, no? My question is, can i just update the Intel Pentium M (Centrino 2.13ghz) to a duo core?

Fabrice Roux Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 I see no question... There you go... after the edit... there is a question. You want to run a tool such as CPU-Z to identify your motherboard chipset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabrice Roux Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 It's a no go... your motherboard as far as I remember is close to the one on my laptop the Inspiron 9300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
