Does anyone know if you can buy T61P in Canada? What other benefits are there other than the 540M graphics card (taking into consideration that the T61 regular can be upgraded to a SXGA+ screen). And yes, please share how you accomplished this magnificent feat! The US T61p is also available with th...

Good to hear you've received a new T61p. There is a very good thread that discusses problems with gaming on the T61p - http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?t=47755 You may want to test your unit with 3Dmark06 (and also stress test with Bioshock, Call of Duty 4, and Crysis), to see if yours has ...

"You're not missing anything. The drivers for the 570M on the T61p augment the video memory with a block of system memory. Nice trick." Can you share how this is done.? I have no idea what it does behind the scenes. Both the 32bit and 64bit drivers seem to do it. The first set of scores are with th...

I searched but didn't find anywhere that addressed these questions directly. So, I thought I would create a thread that addresses games that work, games that don't, and games that need special consideration. Please keep the thread specific to games under Vista X64 on T61 machines. I've only had my T...

I was able to get Ubuntu 7.10 to install from the Alternate CD last weekend. Still no sound, but it found my 802.11g PCMCIA card nicely.

Does anyone have tips on getting sound on a 770Z under Linux?

Mine is a similar configuration and supposedly shipped yesterday. UPS only shows an Origin scan though. t9300 CPU w/ 4GB factory I also have a 320GB notebook drive on the way from NewEgg. The request to MS for the $7 64bit upgrade anytime disk was sent Monday. It is shipping with Vista Ultimate 32bi...

Thank you for your replies. I realize from reading posts in this subject area that the emphasis is on the 600 models and this is a bit of a deviation. How much RAM do you have and what's the speed of the hard drive? For several months, I ran XP on my first 600E with the same CPU as your 770Z and 224...

I have two 770z units and 3 HDDs and a pile of nifty bits for them. Advanced Dock, DVD, Floppy, 802.11g PCMCIA, etc... I have tried a few OSs on them, but haven't been 100% thrilled with any of them. Windows 2000. Actually works pretty decent, but doesn't get updates anymore. Windows XP. Works. Pret...
