I want to buy an Acer Aspire M5640 at an unbeliveably good price. But it has an AMD 690G chipset and the new one once it comes out will probably be way to expensive. I wanted to see if i could buy a 790x chipset, unsolder the old one and put the 790x on the board and it would work. Im fairly sure it wouldnt, but hey, who knows? :)

just run a wire from every socket to every pin, crossing, patching and adding switches as you need them, easy ;) hahaha
btw: wouldn't you need to get a 790 for this operation anyway?
