This old laptop has been my Linux workstation on my bedroom for a few months now. It still does the job I require from it - even after 6 years of service - though at times, it already slows down on certain tasks. To speed it up a bit and extend its productive life, I decided to look for a possible processor upgrade. I scoured through eBay and found a used T7700 from China priced at $16.99 including shipping, that's just PHP 772.65 at the time it's bought. The package arrived yesterday afternoon and it's time to see if it will speed up my workstation.
