Well, since little Timmy is apparently watching and goodness forbid something naughty comes out, we will keep this a G rated site so no one falls off their morality wagon and has a coronary, or, god forbid aneurism (I wouldn’t want that to happen or be on my shoulders). And I also promise to be a go...

wow!! I can cook my eggs on that!? Well, being a laptop with a small fan, I would think it would be close to a desktops 34c with some stepping in there, but, it is still right where one would think it would be if it were a regular ol cpu on a teeny tiny heatsink. Still IBM and then should know 66c i...

Have so much going on, I didnt even see that. Thanks guys.....

Depends on what kind of pad it is. I personaly have not seen what they look like. There are a few different types out there depending on manufacturer. To be safe, I would scrape it off and just use thermal post. If you can take a decent picture of it and post a link to it, I can see what they look l...

Well, trying to keep my options open to grabbing a low priced T43. If I found a good cheap base, then all I need is a screen, right ? :) T43 (any?) base 15" XGA ATI video card, be it X300 or that other ATI whatever it is w128mb ram. Of course I would rather get it all together, but, with a working T...

Somoene asked about trading screens in a T43 and never got a stright answer. Not exactly what frankenstien he wanted to make, but, for me, the question would be T43 (anything besides XGA) base and using a XGA screen on it. Would only be concered about the cable connecting to the motherboard as I wou...

Is this something all laptops do or did IBM decide to be a [deleted]

Admin edit: 2nd warning - Please refer to the Rules of This Road and post appropriately.

They say not to use a pad with grease. I dont know why that would matter if it was a really thin smear, like whats on your finger, lol.

Cheap stuff is easy to get off. Arctic Silver is another story!

Okay, I cant find a good enough picture, be it single unit or side by side comparison, to tell if a 14" T43 laptop screen is wider or taller, with the unit open. Now, seeing as how there are 2 different laptop keyboards, or is that for the R52 only?, I would have to say it is wider. Every picture I ...

then why two of the same? If they want a stripped down version, why not just strip the T43 all the way? I know r52 for lower market bla bla bla.....but, same board???? Hmmm, okay, well, that is it then??? Guess its gonna come down to the simpler things making my decision, lol. Thanks for the update.

Hey, if thats what it takes to steer you in the IBM direction, then thats great. I think they look, like someone said, sexy, but, I will use sleek and classy instead. Thats all that did it for me! If they work, thats great. If they are stable as almighty heck, then thats a bonus. Guess for you, that...

"If you want to search for information in this forum yourself, try this page! I absolutely recommend it!"

Johan, ur too funny dude! I mean, what are you really trying to say?

Wow, that looks awsome! Any idea what % of drives it will take care of? I know your not a fourtone teller, but I sure as heck have no idea, lol.

Thats good and sad to hear. Excellent computers that are nothing to brag about.......lol

clone an image to or from? From would make sense (which is my last conclusion to this whole thing and sucks), as long as GHOST doesnt screw it up. Just so happens that all images are cloned from my desktop and stuffed onto my laptop because I keep changing programs, this and that....etc and I like t...

Why not a faster hard drive or more memory if may ask. Those would likely yield a bigger performance increase unless you have a specific need. Well, my T40 does me just fine, but, like I said, I am gonna step up a notch to a 52 or 43 . One thing to consider is that PATA is about to go out the door ...

I read that over quickly and while I didnt catch anything that said "problems will occure if you dont use the recovery disks", but, maybe I need to reread it? :) Also says "As they are ordinary partitions they are accessible by ordinary partitioning tools. They should be dealt with carefully. " but ...

Well, i was looking for hardware to buy and couldnt find any so I thought this would "kinda" be the place? It is IBM related, but, if the MODs want to move it, I will deal.

Of all the IBMs in the world, I would think there would be more people here on this forum. Is this NOT the place to be?? Email me some good places to go at csmc1013@hotmail.com . I went to look for stuff to buy and there was like only 5 things listed since Nov ????????? Admin edit: This is NOT a mar...

I am really looking for a 15" R52 unit, but, if you throw me a heck of a deal at csmc1013@hotmail.com you may perswade me. I am in Chantilly the next couple of days and will give ya my cell in the email so we can chat.

I had a T41 and liked it but want to move up a step. As of now, I have a T40 but thinking about the Core duo, even though its way outta my price rang. I dont use the laptop that much to justify the price, but, still want to get something a step above my present T40, as I will use that for the guests...

I think the flexing problem is simple, and, a simple solution. You just need to but some supporting rubber buttons under the middle of the laptop. Set your laptop on a table and press on the touch pad a little. You will see the flex if you look closely. Hard part would be finding a rubber foot/pad t...

Thank you so much. I wish I could find these things easier so I didnt have to bug you all as much with my mundane questions, but, thanks again.

If ur talkin to me, he said a full laptop for $300 . Heck, I would give $350 for one, lol.

Maybe he was testing the waters? If anyone has a T43 to sell for $300, please let me know, lol.

R52's were a little tricky. If someone didnt point them out here, I would have never known, and trust me, I did try to research them. I didnt know I would have to dig soooooo deep, thats crazy, lol. All in all, it was just a little thought running in my head, but, A) what is the duo offering and mos...

Hmm, does Acronis have a little boot file/program like Ghost? I will have to check that out and maybe convert everything, lol. I actually have a old old version of Acronis 6.0 I bought from them off the web. Now, I am using ghost 2003 and I honestly cant remember if it is a hacked version or I legit...

Yes it does. Using the T41 as an example, Its screen font was a little too tiny for me. I was looking at all the XGA only screens, in the T's and R's 14/15 versions. I know there are Sxga and Uxga's out there. When I saw there is a XGA 15", I was thinking (as an example) would going from the 14" to ...

I wonder about the 15" screens. Since they are 1024x768, that extra inch, is it a blessing or a curse? I liked my T41 14" but not sure about going 15". Sounds good on paper. Does the extra inch give a bigger font print or just more space to use the good ol t41 type font? Also, side by side, is it mu...

I dont know, yet, if they offset the clusters, sectors FAT table or what, but, I had a T41 that I backed up with ghost. When I go to restore, my drives info comes up undetectable. I have tried more than one drive to no avail. I have to do a recover install to get back up and running???? SOmething, s...
