Ah laptops with GPU chips in them if you play games on them its usually only a matter of time before the GPU goes out. If thats why its been tossed hopefully the GPU is modular (on a card) then its just a replacement if not I will reball it with leaded solder balls. It does sound good I like the idea of an I7 instead of a I3.

this is out of a sony vaio i picked up and stripped down, its got a xp-m 1.8 ghz in it but cant see how to remove it, thinkin it may have something the other side of the board, dont want to damage when i dont know it appears to have like a top plate that slides, i got the cpu out and can move the plate, put the cpu back in and i cant lock it like it was b4, prob damaged the cpu gettin it out, they lock it well, or this one did, put the cpu backin the socket it deosnt seem to want to slide to lock it back in but the plate will slide with the cpu out of the socket Attachment Deleted

Screwdriver goes in the top slot and twist to lock. There are arrows on the top of the socket telling you which way to slide it to unlock and lock.

I am interested to see this. Its probably got an AT power supply. When you shut down windows does it come up on the screen in orange "Its now safe to turn off your computer."

actually scotty i was amazed how fast it is for what it is, when i got into windows, i was having a look around what he had on it and i thought it was gunna take forever to change from 1 thing to another but it seemed to change without a drama, of course i thought it'd be slow, but i was surprised, i havent any ram for it either Attachment Deleted

Not really a street pickup but had a good Ebay experience, saw a P5K-E WIFI MB with 4 1GB sticks of Corsair RAM and a Q6600 at a reasonable price so ordered it when I opened the box yesterday had an additional mailer envelope inside that had a ATI 1950 Pro inside, messaged the seller and said I'd ship it back returning message don't worry keep it and the Q6600 was a G0 to boot.
