I'm typing on a D600 I acquired 4.5 years ago. 1.4 Ghz CPU, 40 GB, and 1 MB
RAM. It's been a great machine, and I'm stuck with it for another year, at
least. A recent upgrade to Word 2003 went badly (macro warnings I can't
prevent) and I'm ready to wipe this beast and reinstall XP. In the meantime,
I'm wondering about spending some ebay money on a couple minor upgrades. I
can get a 1.7 CPU for about $20, and maybe a 5400 rpm hdd for about $40.
Anyone know if that CPU will work in this system? It's a minor upgrade, but
for $20 wtf.
The concern I have for the HDD is heat...the original makes a warm spot
under my left hand, will 5400 make it hot?
