Hello, First i need some basic help, This being a laptop from 2001 i can find alot of info for upgradeing and the dell support forum is the sorryest place i have ever been too.
First could someone help me out in terms of upgrades all i could find is the max ram supported is 512mb Im not sure if its pc100 or 133 ass it dont show in bios, could i put more in it with a bios update? And it has a mobile p3 800 mhz 478 pin whats tha max cpu i can get into this system and is it possible to put somthing better than a p3 in it maby with a mod would any other mobile intel cpu fit and work? Other than that Is it possible to do any sort of overclocking? Either a bios mod, certin software thats supports the 2500, or speedstep mod/hack that will allow it to raise the multiplyer higher?
One last thing, I have it runnng currently with this config, P3 800mhz 128mb ram win 2k with service pack 4. I have problems with it sometimes when it boots into windows the laptop just freezes and wont function and when it dose work at times it will work for hours on hours and sometimes will just freeze during simple things like listining to music etc. What can i do to fix this?
Thanks alot hope someone can help me in all theese issues thanks alot for all replys.
A little update i went to turn on the laptop now it "8 of 10 times" the screen will remain black. And within 5 to 10 mins max it will lock up i really need help.
