I've been thinking of putting linux on this puppy, what would be the best distro in terms of speed, user interface, memory usage, and wireless network easiness (i really need this one)? I heard the PCLinuxOS is really good for wireless networking. Thanks once again, Zozio. You might have to do a bi...

I completely understand your stance and you have made some good points, however I think I will still go with the Kahlon one. I bought this laptop for $70 + tax + shipping (comes to $90 total). I don't have tons of money and am trying to get the best value i can out of this situation. I feel for the...

I have read that, but IMO that stuff is rediculously overpriced. For $15 more you could get 1gb of ddr :? Well OF COURSE it's expensive compared to current memory offerings! PC100 and PC133 SO-DIMMs are positively ancient in computer years and there are only a few manufacturers still making them. S...

BTW, thank you all: you've been so helpful.

An 850 mhz MMC-2 CPU s the highest speed CPU you can put into a 600x.. Unless your 600x is a 5FU or a 9FU,which yours PROBABLY isn;t because it has a 500 mhz CPU in it, it will NOT be a true speedstep machine.. Speedstep steps down computer CPU speed 150 mhz when it runs on it's battery(to save pow...

I've looked through over 20 topics and am not quite sure about upgrading cpu. I am looking to upgrade a 500mhz cpu in an IBM thinkpad 600x, what is the maximum that I can upgrade to? I was reading about speedstep, what exactly is that and how/why is it important? Another question: I have a 933mhz PI...
