Thus I can't resist changing something up to make it even better ;-). This mbd is a mini-ITX Asrock socket FT3 board, w/ (soldered-on) AMD Sempron 3850 CPU, jaguar/kabini class, 1.3 GHz. There is a newer version of that board w/ a AMD FT3 Kabini A4-5000 Quad-Core APU, running at 2 GHz, also jaguar/kabini class. If I were to swap out the mbds, how much trouble does anyone think that would cause ? I fantasize that it would boot & run fine, given that most of the controllers (I/O, GPU) are on chip, so it sounds tempting to me .... Anyu thoughts ? TIA & have a good one. -- William A.
