[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 842974, member: 175144"] The CPU fan cuts in a lot more often than she use to, and the bearings are on their way out, so she does make quite a racket. Since the 478 processor is in a more modern 479 socket, I would have assumed there is some reason why Toshiba put the thing together the way they did. Couple that with the fact the duff laptop is running a far more modern processor, still stuck in a 478 socket, albeit different. Is there a different progression of socket designs for Intel chips that is not mentioned ? An early 479 that powers an ancient micro might deal with a - slightly - more modern dual core thingy I may just take the plunge and try it as currently, I'm not doing much with her apart from listening to the fan cutting in every few seconds .
