Hello,
My trusty laptop was a top of the line model when I bought it new. I know that many would throw it in the garbage can now, but it has always been a really sweet machine, and rarely had any problems. It still runs MS Word and Excel as fast as ever, and still surfs the web faster than a 600 Mhz PIII antique ought to. It is still a great little back-up computer.
Now, I believe the CPU is in the process of going over the CPU rainbow, and since I can get a faster replacement CPU for next to nothing, can you please advise how I might install a new (used) CPU in my Dell Inspiron 4000?
I would need to know how to physically dismantle it and also need to know if I would need to update the bios on the machine to install a Intel Pentium III 1.0GHz 100MHz 256KB Socket 370 CPU? I would also need to know anything else that I have failed to consider/ask about.
Thank you so much for any information that you could provide.
Keith
