Must have been away from this forum for quite a while to forget what you had in your system.
My 4850 is still going strong, survived the summer heat even when getting to 101degC at max load.
Now it's Autumn it's back to 96degC average max temp.
Upgraded a laptop yesterday.
Always wanted to see if a laptop CPU can be upgraded.
The laptop is still not great but its better than what is was before cosidering everything I installed was free.
It was an ACER Extensa 2300.
Celeron M 1.4Ghz to a Pentium M 1.5Ghz, faster RAM, DVD ROM to DVD/RW drive and 20GB to 60 GB drive.
New Zealand is full of well established cowboy PC companys who will build systems for the customers with a very assuring speech telling them what they get is the best of the best which is true to a point.
CPU, and GPU are top spec, with and average motherboard, average RAM, and usually a poor underpowered generic PSU.
Then they have an issue with the system.
And as always the cable management is terrible and the case may as well have been made out of tin foil.
