Hello, everybody,
i recently resurrected an old...indeed very old laptop, more precisely a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo PI 1536 (circa 2006), to regenerate it and use it on basic tasks, since I currently do not own a Windows laptop but only a Macbook.
I have already installed an SSD, 2gb RAM ddr2 and installed 32-bit Tiny10, and I must say that this already doesn't go badly.
I have seen that the upgrades that can be made on this type of product are much more interesting, in fact you can replace everything: CPU, GPU, RAM and HDD/SSD or even Wi-Fi module.
This computer currently features a 32-bit Intel Core Duo T2400 (which constitutes a significant software limitation to date), but I have seen that it could be replaced with generation of more recent Core 2 Duo processors including the T7200, T7400 and T7600 which in addition to being more powerful they are 64 bit.
The GPU could be replaced but it is not worth doing at the moment due to the high costs (related to old age) of the GPUs, which are mounted on a particular PCI-e format, specifically MXM II; in any case there is currently an ATI Radeon X1400 (which damned me to find and run drivers on Windows)
I have currently increased the RAM to 2gb in ddr2 on a single bank at 667mhz, but hypothetically this too can be increased to 4gb max, divided into two channels.
Now, the point is that to further update the CPU and RAM, which is what I would like to do, I seem to have realized that I need to update the BIOS (which I currently believe is the factory original (1.07)) but I can't find it in no way way the file online.
Is there anyone who could point me to the file or where I could find it?
Clearly I'm looking for the latest version available, which should also be the easiest to find, which I think is 1.25.
Thank you for your attention and interest.
Have a nice day.
