<p>A computer system (120) for use with a module pack (140) is described. The module includes the main components of the computer, in particular a separately formed CPU board (152) and video adapter (162) board, for upgrading system performance. The module is plugged into a module bay (130) of the computer through a connector (166). The connector includes a first connector which couples the CPU board to the video board and a second connector that couples the CPU board and video board to the system main board. Also, the module includes a metal housing (142) having a hole and a cooling fan (170) attached to the hole. A locking device is installed in the module (140) to prevent the module from being lost or stolen. This modular structure is especially useful for a portable computer. By simply exchanging the module, upgrading of the CPU and/or video adapter of a portable computer is possible. The cooling fan and the use of aluminum in the module housing can maximize heat dissipation of the CPU and video adapter boards within the module. <IMAGE></p> |
