if individual pins then ide but if flat blade connector then sata.
I know what IDE is I know what the smaller laptop IDE is I know what Sata I and L is however I never seen a reversed bladed(the blade is on the connector in the laptop) connection on a hard drive of any kind before.

that is an adapter on there as the drive has male spade connectors & motherboard has female connector. that adapter is an extender to because of the drive bracket is still screwed to the hd. i have a sata laptop drive in my hand & i just finished looking at my external laptop sata enclosure. on the pictures you posted shows a screwhole on left side of drive which is not on mine because that hole is part of the drive bracket to attach the drive to the laptop.

Alright! That answers that so its a normal 40/44pin laptop drive just the drive carriage has a quick install adapter on it.

Ok it all makes sense now(no I am not having a slow month :P)! Thanks!!

*nod nod* this is a 5 or so year old lappy so its not going to have sata in it.

Question would it be worth 60$ and the aggravation to stick a 2.13 CPU in this old thing? It says it can support it and the current cpu is 1.73 I believe...then again it being a pre celery CPU it might not be worth it

you have to find out if you don't know already as to whether the cpu fits into a socket or is soldered into the motherboard.

then it is a socket. if replacing old 1 with new 1 then make certain the mobile cpu # matches to what can fit on yours & not a newer number not listed as will most likely be different socket or different dye that the bios can't detect & tablet won't post. happened to me on my old p4 board when trying to use a different dye cpu from northwood dye that i had been using & board would not post at all.
