I have too many Precisions and too little time

oh **** there's a M6700 Covet for sale in Finland, but it's on a forum I can't register on, F

Looks extremely nice, specs aren't insane (a Covet without a 3940XM/K5000M, wtf?) however for some reason:

EDIT: managed to register and I PMed the guy selling it, let's see what he says.

 

[Wasmachineman_NL]

Hell yeah, scored a M4400. In great condition with the FX 1700M GPU too.

 

[Wasmachineman_NL]

M4400 came in the mail. It's indeed in amazing condition with only a few scratches on the lid.

Installing and updating Vista Win7 right now.

For the first time in my life and after many tries, I MANAGED TO PINMOD A PENTIUM M!

Going from a Pentium M 780 to a 745A at 2.4 GHz made my CBR 11.5 score go from 0.17 to 0.55 points.

M6700 Covet on eBay USA but it's in not so great condition https://www.ebay.comitm/114841255752

Those are actually a M70 and M2300.

As for your question: M6600.

I must have missed your reply somehow. Oh well, better late than never.

Interesting! I could have swore they were from the Latitude line!

Sweet! Now I know what I can hunt for. I depend on the 8760w so I'll need a backup...or that's what I'm tell myself anyways, lol.

I didn't even know this was such a thing--how much of a effect did it have on the cooling since there will be more heat?

Ouch! That one has had a rough life. But shows how well built these are as it is still working.

Nothing, I even managed to undervolt it a bit.

That's awesome! What did you use to do this?

 

[Wasmachineman_NL]

That's awesome! What did you use to do this?

Notebook Hardware Control.

Notebook Hardware Control.

Thank you! Did you use the beta or the 2.0 version?

 

[Wasmachineman_NL]

Thank you! Did you use the beta or the 2.0 version?

Latest beta. I suggest hitting up TPB for the pro version, NHC is abandonware.

M6400 Covet in awesome condition but the seller seems reluctant to sell someone outside Germany.. interesting. He doesn't seem willing to mention what he wants for it either. Tried offering him €130 but he declined.

Trip to Germany to pick it up locally?

Driving 1100 km for a laptop? No thanks, it's just a M6400. That, and he also declined my €180 offer which is already much higher than I want to pay for one.

Gotcha. I was thinking flight, lol. But that would make it even more expensive!
