Re: T61 13% higher battery drain after bios update when idle ?!

It might be the fan running more often due to an effort to cool the NVidia graphic cards more intensely.

Re: T61 Nvidia Graphic Card dieing? Or LCD? Help please

I recently bought a 14" SXGA+ T61p with discrete NVidia Graphics and so far it runs cooler than my brother´s T60p with ATI graphics (which is actually the noisiest Thinkpad I ever saw). My Nvidia 8800 GT in my desktop (of course not comparable but in the same GPU "family") is even cooled passively b...

Hello, I am trying to install an 8 GB SanDisk Extreme IV in my X41 for hours now. Here is my problem: Assuming your card has a single FAT32 partition, here's what you need to do: 1) Install the CF card. Use only one card if you're using the dual slot adapter or the XP install program will fail. -> p...

I bought this 600x from tonepaq:

It was shipped to Germany fast and without any problems. The unit is in great condition and is running marvellously fast. I can recommend tonepaq as a reliable seller.

Best wishes, Jan.

Hello, It seems interesting, indeed. I suppose you can stick every type of PCI graphic card (or, even an AGP card, using a PCI /AGP riser :P), for example, but you still must have an external screen. :) W. You are apparently refering to this: http://www.interfacemasters.com/products/pci_tools/im380...

Unfortuneately not. The 570 CPU is soldered on the system board.

It is BGA instead of MMC.

Your only option was (if you like the 570 design) to go for a 570e with built in PIII.

Hello bobgarty, I would be interested in one of your speedstep mainboards. Could you ship them to Germany and if yes how much was the cost of shipping? If you have a compatible MMC-2 processor with 850 Mhz, I'd be interested in that as well. I will send you a PM with my contact. Best wishes, Jan. PS...
