whats the best upgrade

I have a 600e running 366mhz and (I think) 128mb ram. which will give me a greater immediate speed increase:

upgrading to a 500mhz processor or to 256mb ram?

customer loyalty

hey all, My first laptop was a thinkpad, when I was in highschool and it was a pretty old one then, but I loved it. Then just recently whenI was looking for another laptop, I got a thinkpad again. And I cant see using any other laptop. Why do you think thinkpads create such instant customer loyalty?...

beeps ok

I should add that I get all the beeps from the speakers and such, so I know they work and if I plug in the headphones, I get the beeps there too. Are these sound generated somewhere other than the sound from inside windows, like the bios maybe. If not and they are generated by the sound card, why wo...

Re: 256 memory and mmc-2 mod.

Fran, Nope no model number that I can see just the crucial produt number which is proprietary I believe. please do send me the link. Ndogg, I actually have a magidvd card that came with my TP.

I just upgraded my 600e with two 256 pc100 modules that I purchased from www.kahlon.com . I currently have the max 544Mb ram and a snappy 60GB 7200rpm HDD (from Brent) and I could not be happier. Thanks richard that helps a lot. Just out of curiosity do you have dvd on your 600e? and if so, how wel...

usb sound

I had mentioned my sound issue in the dsp post but I pretty much figured out the dsp problem so I figured I'd ask the sound question in a different post. I found a usb "soundcard" on ebay and I wonder if I could get some thoughts on it. it's pretty cheap so if it didnt work it would be a cheap lesso...

You have to be careful with the ram. The 256mb sticks have to be Low Density PC100. Low density sticks have 16 chips, 8 on each side...whereas regular or high density have 8 total. I went to crucial to check what kinda ram I should use and they it said: SDRAM, PC133 • CL=2 • Non-parity • 133MHz • 3...
