And how were you able to remove the old CPU? I don't have a 2300 but it it's the same as other Duos, the CPU is permanently soldered in and to desolder it would require a nerve of steel and lots of patience or a special SMD chip desoldering tool I've thought about replacing the stock 280 CPU with one that has full FPU and support higher speed but I haven't tried as there's a matter of heatsink. And a higher speed '040 without FPU isn't easy to find. ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net! A listserv for users and fans of Mac subportables.
