A while after I managed to get the gpu temps under control, I have not been experiencing the problem anymore so far, and I also got the external display today, so I have been playing with it and the laptop display whole day - not a single instance of the problem occurred at all. However, there appea...

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately, I don't have any external display here, but I will try find one, so I can observe the gpu behavior for 2-3 days in a row.

Hi, I have been struggling with the following problem for a few days now: while working, the display suddenly turns black, the laptop continues to function though, i.e. audio, hdd, internet etc. continue to work. If the display has turned black and if I turn it off with a key shortcut and then press...

It has been a while :D And from what I can see, quite a few changes in the forums too - I could not help but notice that it is now split into 'classic' and 'non-classic' ThinkPads :D Which is both a little frightening and promising that I may or may not be able to find what I am looking for. To be c...

Hi, I need to start syncing plenty of folders between my IBM Intellistation and my ThinkPad, so I am looking for a good software solution for this process. The 'market' seems vast and I have pretty much no idea of such software, so I am turning to you, guys and gals, for an advice. There are two imp...

- 1GB GDDR5 Radeon(TM) HD 6490M Graphics [HDMI, VGA] -Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000 [HDMI, VGA] -1GB GDDR5 Radeon(TM) HD 6770M Graphics [HDMI, VGA] For a new laptop. I don't know what the differences are. Is there one that's really better or am I going to notice a difference? Performance-wise: 6770M > ...

ok, well I have ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 as my graphics card. My point was, if the game runs under XP and is not that old (that is, not from the DOS times) and if Windows 7 can be installed on your machine and your graphics card is supported somehow, then you should be able to run that game under W...

Hello, I have an IBM ThinkPad t40 with 1gb of ram, and a 40gb hdd. I know aero will not be supported, but what about games? (Need for speed most wanted) It works fine under xp, but xp feels so old now, its like 10 years old! I don't really care about aero, I just want games to work fine. I have pla...

MSE catches things for me, and I figure that it is better than no av at all 8) , which is what I ran for several years before getting my T61. I guess the other diffrence is that the comptuers in my house are a fairly "low risk" enviroment for infection, I don't think we have ever had a problem or w...

Long time ago I started a topic about Vista x64 and generating of thumbnail previews for .pdf files (thread can be found here ). For those of us who use Adobe Acrobat (Pro) and now Adobe X (Pro) the problem was inherited in Windows 7 x64 as well, as Adobe still has not released a 64bit thumbnail pre...

I am using Kaspersky AV 2011. I will be honest here: Some time ago I tested about 20 different AV products (including the ones listed above) on separate virtual machines with 3 different trojans (no viruses though) and 2 programs that were expected to be false positives ('the usual suspects'). Only ...

Nice!

Ok, I'll bite(again). IF you are eliminating ALL sources of help(people, lighting, sound, etc) and all gadgets, etc.(different bulbs, blah blah blah), then this would not be doable. You need a minimum of TWO state changes between the bulbs to map the THREE of them one-to-one to the switches. That i...

The three bulbs are incandescent. The three switches are dimmer switches. One off, one half way, one on full. Solved. Yeah, but NO :mrgreen: Where do you find any assumptions about the nature of the switches and the bulbs in my set-up? :) Besides, the question is not about the bulbs and the switche...

Marin's setup is still open enough to have loopholes big enough to drive a truck through: * State change #1 of 1st bulb: set light switch to the halfway point, hoping the light will flicker when you go check it out. Now we've dealing with a state change that's not temperature, but light; ala flicke...

Ok, now it is my turn :twisted: :P The set-up is the same as the one of Harryc , with the only exception that you don´t have any tools available, no wires, no ice, no nothing, nor there is any heat produced by the light sources! In other words, you have only you, the three switches next to you, and ...

I managed to negotiate 10€ price a piece on the german ebay , so I am closing this now.

Here's more of a trivia question: In the movie and book, The Right Stuff, future astronaut John Glenn is introduced on a TV game show as having set a trans-continental supersonic flying record.

Oh, lol, I haven´t watched this thread for a while now and missed all that development! :) Thanks all for ´the input!

Is there any particular reason why no one has mentioned the business line of HP so far?

Hi all, I was thinking it might be useful to start a thread about other good tech- and hardware-related forums on the web. My idea is to create a thread that gathers some minimal info and links to interesting forums dedicated to various tech and hardware areas outside the ThinkPad world. I am well a...

Hi, I am looking for a good keyboard for my newly obtained Intellistation Z Pro 9228. Of course, I am looking for an IBM/Lenovo keyboard, preferably with a trackpoint as I am really hooked to it! 8) Since I don´t have much experience with desktop keyboards, I will be more than happy to receive some ...

Ah, true, I was still thinking in 6223 terms, lol.

I guess the FSB would be rather somewhat of a limitation than obstacle, or am I too naive now?...
