Laptop Specifications:
Operating System: Ubuntu 8.10 (Primary) | Windows XP3
Motherboard: Compaq Evo n610c motherboard
Processor: "Mobile Intel Pentium 4 M" 1.8 GHz / 400 MHz FSB
Memory: 1024 MiB (Maximum supported by the system)
Graphics: 32 MiB ATI Radeon 7500 Mobility
Hard Drive: 20 GB Hitachi 5400/4200 (Unknown) IDE (Never upgraded)
Optical Drive: Removed, use an external burner, when I absolutely need to
Battery(ies): Removed, I always use the AC Adapter
Note: I upgraded the memory from 256 MiB to 1024 MiB myself (not difficult on a laptop whose memory banks are located under the left hand palm rest!).
Note: I could upgrade the processor (nearly unheard of with laptops) to a 2.4 or 2.6 GHz version.
I mainly use the laptop for work/school purposes, because of the graphics card.
I am looking for a desktop motherboard that supports the Mobile Intel Pentium 4 M, because I have a parts Evo n620c that a friend gave me, just in case something goes kaput with this n610c. However, locating a desktop motherboard that supports Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology (EIST) is proving quite difficult.
