Been ages since I broke out any of my 760's, but I remember 2000 being sluggish even maxed out on RAM on the XD.

Is there a similar conceivable mod for the T460?

Screen issue confirmed to be the LCD?

If your ThinkPad is under warranty, phone Lenovo support and ask for the appropriate recovery media (the type of windows you need and whether it needs to be x86 or x64), they'll ship it to you for free. It's probably best to do this sooner rather than later if you're needing that media for the futu...

I knew this would happen. :) Don't think I drank the 10 kool-aid. I already booted with Acronis and made a backup. Still, I'd like the same situation as a model shipped with 10 (all correct drivers and 10-specific apps) before I go clean install or back to 7. So, by not addressing whether the recove...

In a nutshell, with a OOTB unconfigured W7 preload, and with a desire to have 10 as the primary (or sole) OS, which is the best option? Firstly, with a 10 Pro sticker on the bottom, is the recovery partition on this machine for W10 or 7? Assuming the worst, 7, these are the options I'm assuming woul...

i'm wondering if there is a KSY or ASY TTY in that collection..? to talk to the IMSAI or Altair buss micro-computers..? :) or how one would display them.. In a motion picture with hormonal teens and potential world destruction? :) As others, I wish the OP well with the surgery. I always joke that I...

They both top out at 450 at 5ghz.

Speaking generally, not as if those cards are equally matched on stated specs, then the sensitivity of the Atheros card is greater. I also find more settings available with Atheros cards than Intel ones.

I personally prefer Alps over NMB. The trackpoint buttons are especially firmer and not as 'soft' as chicony or nmb ones. Personally, I think the balance of choice would be more toward comfort of keyboard use than trackpoint buttons. Although, unless I already had an NMB in hand to swap in, I would...

When dealing with comparable specs for each, the general rule still holds.

Atheros > Intel.

Well, Qualcomm Atheros now...

Either open it up to see which P/N is on the KB-bottom. Or remove one keycap, then compare what you see under it by checking the various keys that are available on eBay. for a T60-style check pictures here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/400074625208 Compare the scissor/nub combinations with what you have...

But there are three different versions with three different part numbers.

In terms of quality, they are as follows: Chicony < Alps < NMB.

I have replaced Chicony's with NMB's, and immediately felt it worth the effort even had both been new.

I really happen to think this is an issue with the hardware design and/or the driver.

I'd love to hear from someone who has an X301 who has found a way to deal with this.

This is a whole new experience for me as well. I only noticed this happening when I switched to Windows 10 on my X301. If I have a media file playing in VLC and I insert headphones, the switch turns off the speakers, but doesn't drive the headphones. That's because the headphones are not registered ...

There is a a seller on eBay who does sell those (easily found) and even including the hinges below them. However, it sounds as if swapping out the entire keyboard would be a better idea. It can sometimes be just as cheap if you hunt smartly on eBay too. I'd recommend finding the NMB version of the k...

IIRC, the 760 series had a compatible gameport adapter dongle available.

I'm not so adventurous (I've patched ODD firmware, at best), but would consider flashing my machines were such options made available by another dev.

Here I was thinking nothing could top Middleton on a T61, too.

Keep in mind that most think of DVD capacities when thinking of ODD options, and using those drives to read (watch movies) more than write. That's not me. I'm thinking of BD writing, and that can mean 128GB to a single disc (XL). However low the price of externals HDDs come down, they are more fragi...

Is that a consensus? I feel I've heard better than from my X301.

Does it allow more fine tuning of settings which are crippled or unavailable in stock BIOSes? (Clock settings, etc)

And I do hope most chose "other" when answering where the Lenovo logo should go...heaven knows what anyone would have added if there were a text box for that one. I voted for the Rainbow logo that David designed.:D That was on a different page. I was talking about the Lenovo logo. As for your subje...

It's stunning that one must of speak of screen replacement mods for models currently shipping.

I have always preferred an Ultrabay, and not just for the ODD option. If we are going retro here, then the Ultrabay ought to return to it's full glory of supporting a wide range of things from PCMCIA Cards (Ok, Expresscard now), TV Tuners and Numeric Keypads...not to mention newer Card Readers or Di...

For any option that remains flush with the chassis, I err towards keeping it in the slot that not. That tells me to have another 3.0 or eSATA card (or combined) inserted rather than leave empty. Other than this, the stashcard was a great idea, but I think production stopped with PCMCIA versions (sti...

Hmm, I noticed that some say 32 bit, but none say 64. I wouldn't automatically assume that all are 64 bit by default (there are too many XP sets to assume that), but are we meant to?

For instance, is the final set (T61, Vista Ultimate) 32 or 64 bit?

Thanks for the quick reply. We have different needs and methods. I have one bookmark, thinkpads.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=68. When I go there I want to see new threads which are made obvious by the icons to the left of the topics. I can´t see them unless I log in, so I click on the login button on ...

If some games do not work there is DOS Box which is a download that plays all the legacy games. It can be hit and miss, but when I get a hankering for some nostalgic LHX Attack Chopper play, on it goes to whatever machine I'm near. :) I feel the need to mention that several, although not all, DOS g...

Someone needs to breakout the trophy and start etching hamish on it under Middleton.

Maybe there's room on the bottom somewhere for me...someday.

What secret land do you go to find them? I've been seeking it out for some time.

Perhaps it's a death wish?

Part of me just wants to put in an offer as a way of thanking Bill for this forum and resource while also making out with some hardware too. :) Unfortunately, I just don't have the space at the moment, and I already have TP's in storage. That's not even addressing my non-liquidity... Someone had bet...
