Actually void has tools built in to do it. Its just a few things for setup and youāre building.
Next steps? Idk. Express card sse3 accelerator? X3
Use firefox, thats about it.

So a little update to this project and some future plans. I have decided I officially want to add usb C. Whether thats taking a usb 2 port and just putting a C port there, or taking the power plug out and putting it there. IDK yet tbh, and I still need to map out where shit will go.
I figure I can put like an arduino or something into the HDD bay if I donāt have anything in there and it can act as a sort of controller and just pass through to USB. Something like that at least. Or maybe a ras pi, or bigger, latte panda. Micro ryzen? IDK. Theres ideas. And itād need to be able to talk over the modem specifically, Its a completely separate chip in the laptop that handles the sound processing and liberation for anything related to 56k and down dial up. If I can just do a serial connection to the computer in the bay with a super short and super thin phone cable, hell, I can just pop a small hole in the case and run it to the gpio pins.
At this capacity, I could connect something over PCIe thru the expresscard port and shove it into the hdd bay. If there was something small enough, Iād stuff a 1050ti under there and call it a day, but Iām not sure I really want to do that XDDDDD
But either way, with a system like this you have a really lot of options, and thats one reason I really love older systems like these. Before ME, DDR2, really hackable machines. DDR1 is just plain too slow, and most DDR2 machines can be bios hacked to at least run 533, which is a pretty good boost from 400 and in system you do notice a difference.
Back to the GPU idea, if I were to do something like that itād need to be sleek and low power, but have enough oomph to be worth anything. Itād need to be fast enough on a pcie 1.0 4X lane, I think it MIGHT get 2 lanes actually being a big enough device, that I could have CUDA do something or have some AMD stuff going for AI toys, something. Either way I want something as a co-processor to be able to offload tasks from the main chip. I want mostly stuff like firefox, homebank, abiword notes, stuff like that on the linux drive in the laptop. But the SBC could do like gaming, or run modern apps and I could come up with a āPassthroughā system of sorts. Hell I could run an ethernet cable and a phone line and have steam in home steaming from the SBC to the B130 andTECHNICALLY game on it XDD. IDK thats pushing the envelope a little.
Iām still trying to even figure out what Iām going to do about my swap situation. I donāt have trim, or really the ability to add it unless its softwareā¦ which Iām likeā¦ mehā¦ CPU cycles man. I need those. Iād rather not waste random bullshit on the PM, its a secure processor, of sorts. If possible, Iād rather keep private data on the B130 and bullshit whatever on the secondary.
If I do a complete SSD for my boot and storage, Iām going to run into chip thrashing and Iāll kill the disk. If I do an SSD in the disk drive bay and an HDD in the B130 bay, I wonāt have space for cool shit, or at least as much. But if I donāt do any sort of HDD at all Iām going to not have any swappable drive space, and thatsā¦ not gunna help me much with a 2GB system, lol. And Iāve tried the .5 to 3GB method, as well as the jig method, you canāt trick it, the platform plain ass just canāt read 3GB or anything more than 2. Maybe 2 and 128mb, but like who gives a shit. Then I think about an SSHD but like are there 256GB 2TB ones? Because Iād want something with a big SSD and a big hard drive at that point and not even fuck around.
I could maybe direct wire 128mb of ram from the ram slot its in to the 915GL (its not a 910, hardinfo said), but itād be an effort and ech, bios editing. Iād rather not, though the platform is capable of it and Iāve seen it done.
Also a quick run down on the drive setup as is rn. I am going to get a CD drive bay dingus because the optical drive is on the same bus as the hard drive, and its direct line to the cpu, basically. Because the HDD and the CD drive are on the same bus, the only difference is the throughput of the connector itself at that point, which Iām pretty sure is irrelevant. Everything about this platform is nearly direct access CPU wise, and with enough patience and effort, a lot can be made out of something that was a 20 dollar ebay find at 3AM when I was depressed.
So I mean hey, whatever. Tho I think Iām gunna be adding shit I think is dank and just piss ppl off XDDD idk. LMK what yall think. If you have sbc suggestions, I will listen.
woot
Edit: Pentium M Overclocking | Hackaday
Excuse me
533 or 800, so its a sonoma, actually a sonoma+
So really what I want to be looking for here is a good in the middle CPU of sorts. This laptop can take a 780 no problem, it was actually the deluxe package and the advertised model, so maybe Iāll keep the 760 I have.
I see mention of someone on hackaday saying they were going to take a 760 to 2.6ghz. Iādā¦ Iād appreciate that. A lot actually. So would my youtube performance, and gaming performance for that matter.
Well this is a neat discovery. Now I need to find a few extra boards for just in case.
Edit 2: Evidentally this laptop has a dip switch to OC for you.
o3o aight, Iām getting ideas for that SBC now.
Fuck Iām gunna need a thermal probe.
Edit 3: I also want an always on usb port. It can even be hooked up to its own battery and the battery can charge off of other USB ports or something. Be a phone battery so its slim. I just want to be able to plug in a phone and have it dump power in. Itād be handy, and nice to not have it be off the mains.

So if I pin mod this thing itāll run at 2.66 ghz
That kryonaut not lookin too bad now
@wendell dude do I make a shitload of these things and sell them as hobby computers XD stuff a raspi in the hard drive door, do the connections, sell as a middle schooler computer kit xD
Edit: What the actual fuck is this
I think Iām falling in love with this wtf
EDit Whatever: Found a posting that has a board for cheap. Claims to have a 1.9 ghz cpu, but I donāt think theres a 1.9ghz PM? At least not to my recollection.
Either way Iām buying an extra board in case pinmodding this thing goes haywire. I donāt think it will? I see ppl saying 800mhz fsb speeds have happened, sooooā¦ Dunno. Interested tho.
Also apparently theres a bios compatability flag in the different models called āFPTā that allows for 3GB or 4GB of ram, depending on your chipset setup and all that crap. I donāt think this laptop has it though, sadly, so again Iāll have to think about swap space.
However, I was drunk last night. SBC in the HDD bay? Naw, CD drive bay if nothing else, and I can cut the bottom of the bay off to fit a thicker SBC, though I donāt want a chungus SBC under there. Actually I was thinking something with a 1200G, and if put together correctly, I have some opportunity.
Still wanna know if pplād buy these tho.
Edit Something something: I have messaged a battery factory about making me some double capacity batteries for testing. So that could be 8-10k mah battery capacity, which with what Iām doing, I need that. My only concern is will the laptop explode? Why donāt I see laptops with batteries like that? Can they not manage it? Would I need an external charger or something? (thatād be rad as fuck actually)
Iāll need to wait for a reply from that factory for answers to that, but who knows if theyāll even do it. Iāll have to look around for a while probably.

Uh okay
Ok so reading some shit here, it looks like I should be able to do some modding here or there to get more ramā¦ 4gb minimum in my book, so I think that can at least be done. But with the features I have, I think I can get 8gb ram at a full 800mhz.
Does anyone know where I can get those dumbass rare 1066mhz laptop sodimms that were ddr2? I know of 3 kits ever released, but I donāt know the product model off hand. I think gskill released one? And maaaaaybe corsair? I donāt know though completely, and I know they are rare as is.
Looking at the power delivery, I think it could handle havind some heavy power ram. Still waiting for an email back from the battery factory. Wanna get 10k batts for these. Thatād be awesome, and itād get at leost 6 hours when Iām all done if I get the right sbc.
Iām thinging atom based, not ryzen. Thatāll be hell to keep cold, and I could get something that has like an iris 620 or something on it. Thatād be great. LV i3ās.
Well, off my poop break.

its a passive liquid cooling rad that i looked at on my flexseal project i found their rads while more modular higher temps for higher cost
i tested with one of my cylinder rads and with similar system to this but turned desktop i got wayyyyyyyy better for the cost of 60$ and less area
http://www.madshrimps.be/articles/article/361/Alphacool-CORA-662-Passive-Water-Cooling-Kit-Review/0
alpha cool made a product for this
mine is cooler and better and fuck the man my ghetto ass system is stupid and i could never get it to pass 70ish c so im hype to revive it soon
i found single pass does not allow water to transefer enough heat aluminium accepts heat and dissipates heat while hotter
so keeping the water in the rad longer helps allow this faster in my system compared

So going off this data, pentium Mās are like the LAST thing, 26 amps.
Iām looking at this.
and I looked up this
https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/eaton-electronics-division/HCM1A1707-4R7-R/6820079
Thats an 18A choke, and theres a few of each. I bet one is high and one is low, and performance mode uses both, with balance being only high, and battery save being only low. These old systems are pretty simple when it comes to that, and you can sometimes edit the specific powermodes. I might do that, idk yet.
But anyways its looking to me like overclocking a 760 wonāt really be a problem. So Iāll be getting to that soon enough, possibly tomorrow.
As well, Iāve come to the conclusion that 8GB ram is theoretically possible, however I think its gunna be one of those weird 6GB conundrums if I get it to work, and I donāt want to deal with that. So Iām gunna try for 4GB at 677, at most. 800 is pushing it, and the cpu needs power.
Snoozey time.

Lulw looking at that post and the board, I was high as fuck.
The board does still have a high low power state, duh, but not at all that way its all logitlc and software.
Anyways, still looking at how everything goes together here. Really I just donāt want to blow anything up by suddenly near doubling power draw.
I,ll show you guys the block in this thing tho, I swear to god they built this thing to overclock it.
You know what a new boarhld is ten to twenty bucks fuck it Iāll just do it and see what happens

So apparently with a bios update you can do 4GB. I bet with 2 wires you can do 8.
Also I find this amusing.

The pin mod is a thing and I ran my PM overclocked like that for years!
Essentially I got a āwhite bookā laptop which was all the rage back then installed all the parts, tested that it worked by installing an OS. Then I promptly turned it off, pull it open and did the pin mod. I voided my warranty is under 1h That laptop ran until it was stolen and was my daily driver for 6 years.
I also under volted the CPU in the bios because I could

Hmmmm I think I can do that
Ok so I need a different processor. The 760 apparently has a locked multiplier, so all I can get is potentially 8GB ram and 800mhz FSB. I think the 765 is the fastest I could get and OC, so Iām going to do that. Iām gunna leave the pin in place tho, and I have a 740 that I could give it a shot with in the meantime.
My original pentium M that is actually the pentium M from my original laptop (An HP NC6000) is a pentium M 725.
Imma throw this bitch in see what happens.
I think the die is chippedā¦
Oh well fuck it anyways. Actually that may explain why my laptop didnāt work XD
Well it posts, though when it booted up at first it threw garbage all over the display in neon colors and then posted.
I think Iāll keep this proc its working fine now lol, running 2.13ghzā¦ hmmm, ok. This is actually interesting info for me. A 33% increase to a 1.6ghz chip that I thought was garbage, this thing is gunna crank now and I already know it. Lets see if it boots o.o
Holy dick this thing just blew thru the memory check like a boss what the fuck
Fascinating that in system it doesnāt report the clock, just some generic name. Iām going to mount a temp probe in the cooler and connect it to the laptop somehow, or at least watch it using my desktopās temp port as a monitor.
Testing tomorrow. Really excited now.
Thinking a bit ree ree rn. This thing is socket 479, what if I put a desktop chip in it xD
Did it OC the ram as well, did it keep its timings the same?
