Answer» Dear Forum,
I am thinking of getting an old Dell LATITUDE X1 PP05S 12" netbook. I really like the light weight and asthetics, but it uses a Pentium M processor and will be really slow. Is there anything I can do to speed it up? Does ANYONE make replacement mother boards for modern CPU's; or can I substitute a better CPU?
THANKS!
Mike
How much RAM does it have? Will it support more RAM? If so, adding RAM would probably improve performance.
What OS does it have? The Latitude X1 has only 1 RAM slot & will support 1GB. CPU is not upgradeable.SSD is the way to go to speed them up as well as extend battery LIFE. I made the upgrade to a OCZ 60GB on my Toshiba netbook for $50 on sale at newegg, which is running Windows XP Home SP3 with Atom dual-core CPU. Downgraded the capacity from 160GB SATA to 60GB SATA, but needed speed vs storage capacity. Fast Boots, Fast to load applications, etc and now I get almost 9 hrs battery life on it vs about 6 hrs before.
