Hardware hacker guryhwa has successfully replaced the built-in Celeron 900MHz processor in his Eee PC 701 with a much beefier 1.2GHz Pentium-M unit for a nice speed boost.

I will give this a go if anyone is willing to lend me their eeePC and a PentiumM chip.
I take no responsibility for any damage caused to the device or myself.

bloody Eeepic!!

i'll stick with spending an extra 100 for the speed and keep the warranty.

Sounds like a challange.

i think that if i tried that i would not only fail to solder the cpu to the motherboard but id probably end up soldering a cat to the motherboard by mistake

^^^ That would be a one of a kind mod in any event.

Not sure I'd trust myself soldering anything that delicate tbh.

Yeah, I'm putting off the soldering of the USB sockets on my eeePC so I think I'll deffo skip the soldering of a CPU!

Bluephoenix · 27th Feb 2008, 17:34

well, I have an ee which I managed to fry the CPU of when screwing with it, so I think I'll have a go

I'll post back here when I meet either success or failure
