I am sure the speed restriction isn't cause they are being mean, but because they don't know what to do with the extra heat disapation... ]]>Feb 26th 2008 2:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/26/eee-pc-hacked-to-accomodate-1-2ghz-pentium-m-processor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/26/eee-pc-hacked-to-accomodate-1-2ghz-pentium-m-processor/
0.5watts doesn't seem like that much more heat to dissipate.]]>Feb 26th 2008 2:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/26/eee-pc-hacked-to-accomodate-1-2ghz-pentium-m-processor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/26/eee-pc-hacked-to-accomodate-1-2ghz-pentium-m-processor/Feb 26th 2008 3:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/26/eee-pc-hacked-to-accomodate-1-2ghz-pentium-m-processor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/26/eee-pc-hacked-to-accomodate-1-2ghz-pentium-m-processor/Feb 26th 2008 2:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/26/eee-pc-hacked-to-accomodate-1-2ghz-pentium-m-processor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/26/eee-pc-hacked-to-accomodate-1-2ghz-pentium-m-processor/Step 2 - Practice your mad soldering skills

while the cpu was out he should have soldered in a socket to change it again in the future...

.5 watt's may not be much more, but any other processor would up it up a bit... it doesn't seem like there is any fans in there either... perhaps the next mod is the eee plumbing to cool everything down...

Too bad it isn't like the old days where you could plop a pci card in with a processor on the card to pre-empt the onboard processor... perhaps with usb3 we will have the bandwidth to do small tweaks on some of this stuff...]]>Feb 26th 2008 2:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/26/eee-pc-hacked-to-accomodate-1-2ghz-pentium-m-processor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/26/eee-pc-hacked-to-accomodate-1-2ghz-pentium-m-processor/
The fan is located underneath the board while the CPU and bridge chips are on top attached to a metal plate under the keyboard. Passive cooling at it's best.

The fan does help to lower the ambient temperature, but it in no way directly cools any specific components.]]>Feb 26th 2008 2:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/26/eee-pc-hacked-to-accomodate-1-2ghz-pentium-m-processor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/26/eee-pc-hacked-to-accomodate-1-2ghz-pentium-m-processor/Feb 26th 2008 3:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/26/eee-pc-hacked-to-accomodate-1-2ghz-pentium-m-processor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/26/eee-pc-hacked-to-accomodate-1-2ghz-pentium-m-processor/Feb 26th 2008 3:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/26/eee-pc-hacked-to-accomodate-1-2ghz-pentium-m-processor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/26/eee-pc-hacked-to-accomodate-1-2ghz-pentium-m-processor/Feb 26th 2008 3:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/26/eee-pc-hacked-to-accomodate-1-2ghz-pentium-m-processor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/26/eee-pc-hacked-to-accomodate-1-2ghz-pentium-m-processor/Feb 26th 2008 4:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/26/eee-pc-hacked-to-accomodate-1-2ghz-pentium-m-processor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/26/eee-pc-hacked-to-accomodate-1-2ghz-pentium-m-processor/Feb 26th 2008 4:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/26/eee-pc-hacked-to-accomodate-1-2ghz-pentium-m-processor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/26/eee-pc-hacked-to-accomodate-1-2ghz-pentium-m-processor/Feb 26th 2008 4:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/26/eee-pc-hacked-to-accomodate-1-2ghz-pentium-m-processor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/26/eee-pc-hacked-to-accomodate-1-2ghz-pentium-m-processor/
"and I didn't know of a better way than to post a test post"

How about just waiting until there was another story to make an intelligent comment in?

Wait I see the problem......it's that whole "Intelligent Comment" thing that caught you off guard......carry on.

(Don't worry, I won't make fun of you for having a picture of a Centro....that's humiliating enough as it is!)]]>Feb 26th 2008 8:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/26/eee-pc-hacked-to-accomodate-1-2ghz-pentium-m-processor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/26/eee-pc-hacked-to-accomodate-1-2ghz-pentium-m-processor/
