Hallo everyone I am enbarking on one of my big projects and it seems possible. My idea is this: Swap the A9 processor with an intel core processor, and make the RAM bigger by installing a bigger sized one, and then use the micro SD card slot for more storage, and convert the Micro USB in to an out…

I am thinking, if you replace the A9 processor with an Intel processor, then we can install windows. For the RAM, I would have to replace it for storage requirements. Converting the MicroSD card to an out provides additional storage for the processor. The brain I am using is a broken one where uou c…

[image] RandomLightingNerd: replace the A9 processor with an Intel processor …But like, how?? Do you plan to desolder every pin, make your own BIOS, write drivers, etc? [image] RandomLightingNerd: For the RAM, I would have to replace it Looking at the photos I reposted earlier, the RA…

Very much a case of “easier said than done.” Most CPU manufacturers have completely different pinouts from their competitors, and thats just the beginning of the problem. Trying to make this work would be a collosal waste of time, and absolutely not worth it. If you want to do non-vex things, doing …
