Re: Upgrading laptop processor

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I would note that in about a month the waranty will be expired, if it hasn't
already because I upgraded the RAM.

One has only to look at the return line in Frys to realize that at least
50% of the folks who buy PC parts from these stores have no idea how to
correctly install them, despite reading the instructions.

The gentleman in question has a newish notebook with a Sempron CPU... do
they not realize that by replacing the CPU, they will invalidate their
warranty? That the notebook manufacturer will politely smile and refuse
to assist them if they have a problem and try to return it to the service
center. Their $1,000 to $2,000 notebook will then be useless.

I'm so glad you believe that all people who post here with their questions
are capable of DIY PC repair. You have only to read the number of posts
from folks who add an optical drive and have no idea what a jumper is
(again, despite reading the instructions) to know that your experience
and knowledge is not that of others.

. Consumerism is indeed the root of the problem.

The last thing we need is MVPs - who supposedly earned the designation by
developing expertise and imparting it freely - encouraging consumerism by
telling someone who wants to upgrade his laptop he must be joking.
