Asus C90 laptop - build your own beast!

MSP · 02-07-2008, 10:13 AM

Has anybody seen this monster? It has the Mobile PCI Express slot so the graphics can be upgraded like a desktop, and actually supports desktop Core 2 Duo CPUs. Not generally a good choice for laptops due to heat and battery issues, but for my uses it would be perfect.

So here's my question: what CPU should I get for it? I'm looking for bang-for-the-buck, so something in the mid-range that preferably runs cool.
