Thanks for the article - lots of good reading. I bookmarked it.

No problem, when I found it I was so intrigued I just couldn't stop reading.

Lmao. That is hilarious. Yeah I'm glad that I'm able to offer people help. Do you have a 3680?

Well done!!! I am generally against fiddling with things that are working - but here you have successfully taken a "slow cheapo" and given it a huge performance gain with minimal cost and reliability should benefit too as the lappie is running cooler.

I think you will get plenty of people trying this mod. (I know if I had a 3680 I would do it). Thanks for sharing

Ok Im getting kind of worried right now. I downloaded "Pc Wizard" that tells you all of your system stats and it tells me that my 3680 has the i943/940GML chipset. When I go to Intel's website, it doesnt list any other processor for my machine besides a Celeron M Am I screwed? I have a T5200 on the way from ebay right now. I hope this wasnt a waste of time for me. I was really excited about the upgrade too.

Is it possible for 2 of the same (1.6ghz Celeron M) 3680-2633's to have different chipsets?
