    Hi guys

    Fisrt of all, can´t find a section to say hi to everybody (To introduce myself)

    Straigth to the point.

    1.- Can I install a Intel Pentium M 755 2.0 Ghz on my laptop and where can I buy it if it's possible to do this upgrade?
    Right now I only have found this Processor at 1.6Ghz in this site
    http://www.parts-people.com/index.php?action=item&id=5315

    2.- What is the max. video card that I can istall? and where I can buy it?
    Right now I only have found this card 64mb Nvidia Geforce Go Fx5200
    http://www.parts-people.com/index.php?action=item&id=2714

    My actual settings at my dell latitude D800 are shown in my signature. Just Add that the Toshiba HDD is model MK8032GAX and my Windows is XP Professional 2002 Service Pack 2

    I will apreciate your comments and if its possible the links where i can find these upgrade parts. I'm from Mexico, but I would not have a problem to buy it if that store has international shipment.

    Thanks in advance.

    You can indeed use the Pentium M 755. You can even use the Pentium M 765. Nonetheless, any 400MHz FSB Pentium M (and you have to use a 400MHz FSB Pentium M in the D800) faster than the 745 is generally a poor value. I'd say the best bang for your buck is a 735 or 745.

    The best video card should indeed be the FX5200, but I'm not 100% sure about that.

    Ok thanks.

    Just want to say, that according to your answer you recommend me a 745 processor because it will not have a significant difference in performance than 765 and of course the price is lower in the first one?

    If that so, I can buy this
    http://www.sharpchips.com/product_p/sl7en.htm

    instead of this
    http://www.sharpchips.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=SL7EM

    And the video card I think I will go with the FX5200, thanks.

    @ Commander Wolf could please you confirm me if I can buy any of those proccesor in order to add in to my cart and buy it. Will apprecciate.

    I think that nemt a guy from here had the FX5650, Hope to hear his impressions or his recommendations
