stgreek I see you list having a T600e and are running Ubuntu 10.04 -- Did you find a Ubuntu 10.04 sound fix (and external microphone) solution for the 600e?

I am trying to use Memtest86+ v1.65. This is my first laptop, a Thinkpad 600X I bought used and I am wanting to check the RAM Memory Modules I am buying for it. It works great booting it up on it on my desktops, but in my Thinkpad 600X (and in a friend's Thinkpad 600e that I managed to test it in to...

I was thinking I had originally gotten a no read situation one I tried to use the slot directly over the inboard ram, but I just now retried it to confirm, and it gives me the same results I am having with the second slot. So, that is a good sign, I'd say, that the laptop side is probably just fine,...

Sorry, I cut it off. Here it is again:

There wasn't anything about 20L0264 I don't think. Here is the one I bought:

As you can see, there are 4 chips on each side though....

It has a paper sticky that says: HYM7V65801 HYUNDAI BTQG-10S BA-A KOREA PC100-322-620 0024 I guess I am just starting to worry that there could be something wrong on the laptop side.....that would be bad....as then the 256 MB RAM might not work either.... It sounds like your daughter is really in lo...

I have been thinking about this 64 MB module that would mess up the boot.

The Thinkpad read "130496 KB OK". Surely if I had inserted it in the wrong slot, of the two slots possible, it would not have read it all....you think?

I'll check out the Marketplace forum. Sounds interesting!

So, if I am using Memtest 86+, how many full passes do you recommend I let it run through before figuring the memory is good?

Thanks rkawakami ! I'm cheap too! :D But I've noticed that cheap only works when what you buy actually works. So I just wanted to be sure that is what you'd recommend. And yes, I use Memtest 86+ also-------so we are both on the same page. :wink: That's really a shame about that dumpster diving oppro...

Thanks! I'll check it out....although, you must realize, Mandriva 2007 is Linux. I don't run any Microsoft operating system at all on any of my computers....haven't since win95. If you were me, would you buy the RAM new from someone like MemoryTen (http://www.memoryx.net/) at their higher prices or ...

Thanks rkawakami! I started removing stuff I had put into the machine and when I got to a 64 MB card (the last thing) it worked! I then put everything back into the laptop (except the 64 MB or RAM) and it still worked! That 64 MB was suppose to have been out of a 600X, but I guess not! Hey! Hey! I a...

This is a 600X that I picked up without a hard drive and cdrom. I am new to thinkpads and laptops in general. I installed a refurbished 40 gig hard drive and a used cdrom. Before I did this, it was booting all the way to a screen with a picture of a floppy disk drive and moving arrow pointing at it....
