IPC Powernote G795 with K6-3+?!
Posted: Wed Aug 24, 2011 4:46 am
Hello together,
I´ve shoot a quite rare laptop on Ebay lately, the mentioned Powernote by IPC. It is a Powernote500, that means it was equipped with a K6-2 500. As it features a 14,1" display I´m going to replace my odd P3 notebook with it, just because it is a lot freakier
The first crazy thing I found out is that it seem to handle 512MB SDRAMs, I just put the 512MB PC133 of my old lappy into it and he booted with gorgeous 578 MB RAM... so I will try to put another 512er into the second bank... It seems as it is equipped with any ALI Aladdin 5 chipset and I wonder if it can handle 1 GB of ram then? If he can handle this amount of memory I urgently need to get a K6-3+ to run on it... I could put in my normal K6-3 but it´s an AHX At the moment it boots my ATZ with 500 Mhz but as K5 so I don´t know if it will handle it right... the Vcore can be lowered to 1,8 Volt, so it would fit very well...
I´ve already flashed the latest known BIOS I found on a russian ftp-server but he can´t handle the K6-3+ So I wonder if there is anyone who could patch the bios in this way, perhaps enabling bigger harddisks too... please help! This would be an ace machine if I could build it up as I wanted to do...
Thanx in advance,
Eric
