my T43 FrankenPad

#1 Post by massits » Tue Apr 09, 2013 7:43 am

Now I have understand that my t43 laptop is called " Frankenpad" becouse I have modified it from original configuration

With the help of this forum I have :

cd/dvd player >> dvd rom player
dvd rom player >> Ultrabay
installed an OCZ Agility 3 SSD on Ultrabay

1 Gb ram >> 2 G Ram
1.86 Ghz M Centrino >> 2.26 Ghz M Cpu

soon :

Pata 40 Gb main HDD >> Pata to CF adapter
if possible a better MiniPCI videocard
what can I do to increase that machine ?
( I do not want something absurde or excess for its Mobo)

Video card is soldered to the board and not replaceable.

And I hate to say this, but yours is NOT a FrankenPad.
You only upgraded T43-components.
If you build a laptop with components from a different generation or series, then you'll get a real FrankenPad,
e.g. the shell from a T60 with the motherboard of a T61 makes a T601.
