hmm, ill answer part of my own question in mild fury, the T61P will in fact support Sata II or 3G, which apparently means it will recognize it and use it, but it will be capped at Sata 1 / 1.5G speeds due to internal limitations. no wonder the information is conflicting. way to help me get the most ...

I have a T61P and would like to upgrade to a 128GB SSD. However, in the process I am encountering conflicting information. This is for my primary drive, not the ultra bay. According to Intel, my chipset supports 3G transfer rates, but apparently Lenovo has not enabled this for the T61p? So even repl...

i currenty have the 1GB turbo memory flavor and have run it without issue, for 7-8 months. I noticed there is a 4GB size out now, but am not sure if these will work in the T61P's, specifically 6458-5KU with Vista 64

anyone tried this or know for absolute sure one way or another ?

been getting this error for awhile when i reboot. It's realated to thinkvantage but I do not see any documentation on it nor the 'cure'

anyone have any experience with this ?

That appears to be what is already installed on my system. Version 3.51.01 Issue date June 19, 2007 Support device Ricoh 4-in-1 Media Card Reader DETERMINING WHICH VERSION IS INSTALLED 1.

well, my readyboost function works fine. it's only when i remove and re-insert i have problems.

sounds like it's not a widespread enough problem to have a fix happen, so for now, i will use the usb flash reader for the occasional SD card reading and leave the 4GB in the readyboost slot.

i upgraded to Vista64, issue is still same for me. I cirumvented by buying a $5 usb flash card reader. not sure why we're the only lucky ones, but your right, it's annoying.

i prefer AVG. outstanding product. I do understand there are some other very good free or low cost products. but I must have AVG installed 40-50 client computers which are subject to the worst terror known to PC's...kids, and all run without issue and handle 'user installed' malware others quite wel...

just downloaded and installed SP1 for Vista. Used the stand alone and did update the UPTEK biometric drivers prior to install Just a note to anyone out there with t61P that on Vista Ultimate x64 I experienced no problems at all. about 4 reboots and 40 minutes. Have not played with it long, but appea...

i used magic jellybean key finder to pull my Vista Ultimate Key from my T61P and it did allow me to install Vista Ultimate 64, however, it would not 'register' it. As I had been led to belive by Lenovo tech support that my machine would not under any circumstances qualify for recover cd's with with ...

well, i have the side bar gaget running, and i can see memory usage stays around 60%, so I think more ram is good, and i do find the 4GB SD readyboost really does speed things up. The question is will the Intel Turbo memory help much or at all ? I do have the 16MB Cache 200GB Sata drive, but this la...

if this has been addressed, apologies in advance. I tried searching for exact answer and did not see it. I did note that at least one prolific poster is using this on a T61P I currently have 2x 1GB DDR667 and upgrading this week to 2x2GB on Vist Ultimate 32 (which I will hopefully sidegrade to Vista...

i can insert/install any SD card and it runs without issue. However, when uninstall/remove card and then repeat the laptop fails to be able to 'see' the card until i reboot. it auditorially acknowledges the insertion of card with 'the device failed to connect' sound. which you can find in control pa...

no, formatted from within Vista..as i said, i'd be glad to blame the SD card, but i have tried another, same results.

well, i did have some limited success turning off the 'optimize for performance' but after removing and replacing card couple of times, same thing happens. have to reboot to get SD card to 'work'

still has factory install on it, all Lenovo provided updates as well as MSFT updates installed.

hi all I have a strange issue and I am not sure if I not doing something correct or if it's really a bug I use a 4GB SD card for ready boost. Everything seems to work correctly. However, if I remove the card and then re-insert it, it give me the ding ding that it didn't work I occastionally have to ...

Last nite I cloned my 100GB 7K200 to a 200GB 7K200 using Acronis True Image v 11 on Vista Ultimate T61p I actually did it through usb and encountered no difficulties. The only sligh annoyance is when you go from 100 to 200 the EISA partition goes from 6.x GB partition to an exact double. I am pretty...

controversy on this series i also got a pretty good deal on mine at the time of purchase. i had some issues but they were not related to quality or performance of machine. last december I tried Vista on it, and at the time the driver situation was a nitemare, i finally got everything working, but i ...

going to be going on longish trip, often without AC, tite budget but would like a new/used ultray battery if anyone has one that still holds a full charge they would like to part with

I think it's also the same one the R60's use

shoot me a message if you have one you can part with

Thanks in Advance

has anyone tried the 802.11n cards for their thinkpads. I see the official FRU is 42T0825 which is really just an Aetheros model: AR5BXB72 I believe. I have read that thinkpads will not use a non IBM branded card. Does anyone have any experience with this and can confirm or deny. The price points ar...

Acer has same fingerprint scanner and when I was running Vista on my 3000 N100 I used the acer download and it ran flawlessly

Unless they ship the unit you are looking at with Vista, my personal opinion is that 1.66 is not enough CPU, I think my Z61T handled it well because I have the 4MB T7200 processor, 2GB RAM and 7200RPM drive While it ran it well, I would not tell you that it manhandled it and the best user experience...

Hi Barry Two problems with that fix. One, my video card is the Intel, not the ATI, two I am running WinXP Pro, not vista. I have this problem whether docked or not, and the only time ATI comes into play is when I am docked. http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?p=265580#265580 Fixed both of my pr...

Per my previous post this morning. I really need a docking station solution as I run a number of periphreals that are important to my business, but need the mobility of being able to take the unit with me I had fits getting this to work as decribed. I went through endless troubles and read everthing...

i have this problem. I am on a Z61T which has an integrated Intel graphics card. (9440-D9U) I ended up loading ATI drivers for docking station, which I had a PCI-e ATI x550 installed in. The docking station, incidently, is probably going back, to many issues. I am able to easily get a second monitor...

I have almost the exact machine as you, but mine is dual core 2GHz w/ 2GB ram I ran with and without 4GB readyboost unit and I had zero problems running Aero My issue with Vista was some older devices just did not and were not every going to have drivers for Vista. I am not throwing perfectly good d...

Hi I have a Z61T and like it alot. Due to replacing my HDD with no recovery partition. I need to install fresh copy of WinXPP. I have run Windows Vista's for a couple of months, and while it is very nice in some regards it is causing me to many headaches in other areas I have tried to install WinXPP...
