I know you're trying to fit everything in the screen, but I wouldn't be cleaning the heatsink over the rest of the computer. You're probably more careful than most. Using a plastic card cut in to a smaller piece can help spread it easier as well. What size hard drive is in yours? I hear 320 is the max supported and wondering if a 500GB would be compatable (2.5 SATAII 500GB 7200 HDD).

@TWELVEGAUGEDAVE870 Im not sure, i am on the way to work right now but when im off ill let you know what will work inside it. i recall i had the stock 160 GB disk. It is a MSI wind U100 correct? 

[TWELVEGAUGEDAVE870]

@cookaacoo I have a MSI Wind L1350 with the N450 1.6GHz Atom processor- it's almost the same as a U100. It has the stock 160GB hdd but some are sold with 320GB hdd's. The ram has been upgraded to 2 gigs however. I've only seen "upgrading videos" that put in 320 hard drives rather than 500GB so I'm not sure if it's compatible. Any input would be appreciated. In all honesty, 320Gb would be enough for a netbook though. I think as long as they're the same standard dimensions, it should work. Thanks

about a 7F drop

@cookaacoo Can you replace the cpu on msi because i have one to and i was thinking about putting a 2.2ghz in

[cookaacoo]

@sk8forlove22 No the Cpu is soldered onto the motherboard.

[sk8forlove22]

@cookaacoo is there anyway of uping the cpu to make it better

[cookaacoo]

@sk8forlove22 You can overclock it using MSI drivers to make it 2.0 Ghz

[sk8forlove22]

@cookaacoo how do i do that overclock it

[TWELVEGAUGEDAVE870]

@sk8forlove22 MSI released a new BIOS 1.09 which allows overclocking with Fn-F10 up to 1.98GHz on the atom's processor- you can find the official BIOS update on their site. Make sure you back-up everything important on another hard drive or dvds. electricvagabond DOTcom/2008/10/msi-wind-bios-1­09-update-overclock-and.html That's a good how-to on updating the Wind's BIOS. Use the links on Step 2 at your own risk- I haven't tried them. I'd rather use MSI's Live Update link. Good Luck.

I wish my battery would come off that easily, lol. Mine is a pain in the ass to pull off. The netbook won't let it go, lol. And yes, I do pull the release latch before pulling it off...i'm not that stupid, lol. The netbook just won't let it go.

[cookaacoo]

you must have the 3 cell battery am i right?

[matrix86]

You are correct. I have a 9 cell coming in soon, though. But still kind of upset at how hard it is to get the damn thing off. I mean seriously...it REALLY doesn't want to come off. I'm afraid of breaking the netbook. I'm actually dreading taking it off to put the 9 cell on, lol.

[cookaacoo]

well the 3 cell is hard as hell to get off i got a 6 cell its easy and the 9 cell is too but my god 9 cell lol.. thats huge

[firedragonuk]

done this to my advent 4211 , was surprised to see the lack of thermal protection without adding it your self lol

[crackersick]

could you change the processor to say something like an intel dual core? or is it way too small?

[cookaacoo]

no you cant its solder on if you could some how it would need a bios flash also intel hasnt released there dual core atom. -Thomas

[RedPenumbra]

Motherboard doesn't support it. I don't think there is any way to get it to work.
