506492 2006-12-14 00:14:00 ok first question,do laptops have a cpu fan? because if i wanted to get a faster intel celeron cpu for my laptop can i just buy a normal cpu retail pack from an electronics store that comes with a cpu fan? Or do laptop cpu's not have a cpu fan,and does the laptop just use the case fan?

and when installing a new cpu, where on the laptop should I clip the antistatic wrist wrap alligator clip onto? I know the PC's you clip it onto the metal part of the pc case.

506493 2006-12-14 00:31:00 Laptops have CPU fans, not usually any case fans.

Laptops "usually" use special Mobile editions of CPU's, not the regular "desktop" versions, and are seldom "upgradeable" as faster CPU's are unable to have the extra heat dissipated.

As you omit any reference to the make and model of laptop, good help will be hard to find

Laptop internals have lots of metal shielding for clipping the wristband to.

506494 2006-12-14 01:10:00 Given what used and new lappies are now costing, that is probably a better road than hunting for a mobile CPU, figuring out if compatible and then freight cost. If you have a spare laptop for parts right now then it may be a diff story. Nomad (952)
506495 2006-12-14 01:53:00 laptops? They're waste of money to upgrade get a new one instead. Like I use a junkie brand laptop and what happen now? I said prepare to go into rubbish bin or sell it off and get a new one instead. PedalSlammer (8511)
