Making the HP nc6400 my perfect laptop – upgrading the HP nc6400 notebook - boost the HP nc6400

The original hardware available with this laptop launched at the end of 2006 was :
**CPU Core2duo T5600 1,83ghz 2MB L2 with a TDP of 37W (no Ultra Low Voltage)
**RAM 512MB to 2GB of PC2-5300 DDR2-667 (he FSB is a quad pomped 167mhz FSB so a theoretical of 667 mhz)
**Graphics card The ATI Radeon X1300 with 64MB(mine) or 128MB of dedicated memory or the Intel GMA 950 integrated to the mobile Calistoga i945 chipset. Obviously the Intel solution is cheaper but it sucks. Even Counter Strike 1.5 or quake III will lag in this graphics solution.
**Hard Drive 80GB(mine) to 160GB available choices all running @ 5400 RPM and with 8MB cache
**Avalaible choice for optical drive CD/DVD reader or CD burner/DVD(mine) reader or CD/DVD Burner
**UMTS/ CDSMA mobile broadband modem
I updraded mine with:
**Ultra Low Voltage Core2 duo L7400 CPU 1,5ghz, 4MB L2, 17w TDP
**320GB Seagate 16MB cache, 7200RPM, Gsensor for drop detection and protection
**4 GB of RAM with 2x2GB DDR2-800 PC2-6400 sticks from kingstom
**High Capacity 9 cell Li Ion Battery
This upgraded hp nc6400 gives my 6+ hours of battery life (the 9cells+the 6cells batt) using wifi, i can play HL², Zombie Driver, Supremme Comander, The laptop perform better as many 2010 laptops, this is due t o the very fast HDD and a clean windows 7 64 bits install with the 4GB RAM sticks.
Also the L7400 is 300mhz lower clock then the original T5600 but it has the double amount of L2 cache "4MB" and on syntetics tests it perform pretty like the T5600 while heating and using less power :D
before all this i managed to get new mainboard and LCD panel from HP onsite warranty, and a DVD burner as replacement of the combo CD-R/DVD reader :D yeah !
