Restoring and Upgrading the very first ASUS ROG

Ғылым және технология

Hi everyone, and thank you for 22:11 of your time. In this video I restore one of the Earliest version and also Rare example of ASUS ROG Laptops, the G2PC. These models are released back in 2006 and 2007. The Specs are: Intel Core 2 Duo T7400, ATI Mobility Radeon X1700 with 512MB video Memory, 2GB of DDR2 RAM and 240GB SSD. Supported OS Windows XP.
The games in this video are: Red Alert 3 ( But personally I more prefer Red Alert 2 ), Enter the Matrix, SWAT4, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 and Duke Nukem Forever.
✔️Disclaimer: I Done this project for personal use only, not for sale or any other distribution now or in the future. Also, personally I do Not sell any components, other hardware or software.

    I've got an early ROG laptop as well, a 2008 Asus ROG G50VT-X5. In fact, it's still being used regular in my house! It's been upgraded with an SSD boot drive and a CPU swap awhile back (from midrange Core2Duo to a higher end Core2Duo). It's been a great laptop.

    Good thing you pointed out that the max CPU supported is the T7600! The T7400, T9300, T9550 are actually for 3 completely different generations of laptops! T7400/T7600 is completely non-interchangable with the latter 2 as it's a totally different socket pinout, or else you blow up your motherboard! I hear far too many people make this mistake... T9300, T9550 are 2 different generations and a laptop with T9550 inside will work with T9300 (GM/PM45 chipset), but most likely not the other way around short of FSB mods (965PM/GM, GL40)!

    Great restoration. Try and see if you can find 2x 2GB DDR2 in future, to bump it to 4GB DDR2 - that would help with games. :) I really want to get a gaming laptop for Windows XP games at some point in the future - the only Windows XP laptop I currently have is a packard Bell with Core 2 Dup T5200, 2GB DDR2 (maxed out?) and whatever the integrated graphics are. Oh, and a 160GB IDE hard drive - yes, that thing still uses IDE.
