putting in the old 700mhz cpu, the laptop works just fine.
its late and i need to get up early in the morning (430am..gah) but i will
definitely try to power it on without cpu tomorrow and report back as to
what happens.
btw. i did some more searching and came upon someone thread on a different
forum stating that some t20 mobos were able to upgrade to 1ghz, and others
were not so fortunate. does anyone have any info as to which mobo is which?
thanks all! goodnight for now!
