Dell Latitude D600: Upgrading and Maintenance
The bottom of the system only reveals a mini-PCI and two SODIMM slots. You can max out the memory at 2GB, but this will require 2 x 1GB SODIMM memory modules.

If you have used other Dell notebooks in the past, removing the keyboard for cleaning is a cinch. There is a small recess in the casing on the upper left side of the notebook, which can be used to lift the bezel. After that, removing the keyboard is simple - just remove the two screws holding the keyboard down and lift the keyboard up and out.

As marked by the large heatsink at the left side of the picture below, the CPU of the D600 is to the right of the system fan. Like the other notebooks in this roundup, the D600 uses a socket design, which allows for upgrading.

Great review- sad state of affairs when a 6 pound 1.4" thick laptop is considered mid-size though..... it's fine for machines that won't travel much but this trend of larger & thicker (read: Dell) is not for me.Rowcroft

Where the are the rest of the benchmarks comparing it to the P4, and Athlon 64 mobiles out there? No superpi, run half-life in software mode, or pull out your old dusty copy of quake 2 for that matter. I want to know if I should get a a64 based laptop, or a P-M based one, it's a good review to be sure, but could use a little fleshing out.Abdulraheem - Tuesday, December 29, 2020 - link
