XPS M1710 older IDE board replaceable with newer SATA motherboard?
Last response: in Motherboards
Hi,
I have an earlier dell XPS M1710 with IDE interface to hard drive. Is it possible to replace the motherboard with the newer board with SATA interface? Will all the onboard components function correctly? I wish to upgrade to hybrid drive. I have service manual explaining physical procedure, know how to flash BIOS etc. Just don't know if it will work!
Just Id like to hang on to laptop as high res screen etc and replacement motherboard is pretty cheap compaired to replacing laptop.
Thanks
Jeff
