I don't know what got into me, but after reading articles on the web about some guys who've upgraded their Compaq Presario laptops, I looked into it and found myself shopping for new parts. The low cost of AMD chips, memory, and hard drives was really tempting and I just couldn't resist going under the hood :)
So far everything's working great so I'm glad I didn't break anything (getting to my V2000's processor required me to disassemble a great deal of the board's components). Upgrading from the Sempron to the Turion processor, 512MB more memory (for a total of 1.5GB), and a 7200RPM Hitachi drive really brings out obvious performance gains.
Bottom line: sweet!
