heat reading from gkrellm

Installed Gkrellm and enabled several temp checking routines. Looks like I'm getting:

CPU = 118.4 F
GPU (nvidia) = 123.8 F
HDD = 93.2 F
thermal zone 0 = 118.4F
thermal zone 1 = 98.6 F



Do these readings look ok?

external monitor problem ..... revised

Have a T61, advanced mini-dock and LG 24" monitor (W2452T) running Vista. I dock the machine, leaving the lid closed, power up and utilize the LG as the only monitor. Works great. Upgraded the hard disk to 320G and installed Ununtu 8.10 for a dual boot. Installed the latest Nvidia drivers. There's n...

hard drive cloning

I saw the threads on 320 gig hard drives. Great info. Time to upgrade! What do you folks recommend for disk cloning software? Also, I'd like to keep my original disk in an external enclosure and hook up via USB. What external cases are the best? Do most USB external cases have two USB connectors for...

Liberte- Years ago I needed to carry around a lot of camera gear and didn't want to use a Halliburton case because they scream "steal me!" too loudly. I picked up an inexpensive Samsonite attache case (I think they come in 3" and 5" thickness and should still be around) and laid in some dense foam ...

Looking for the ultimate T61 case.....

I'm on the hunt for the ultimate carrying case for a 15" WS T61. Going on the road and need something that will hold up to travel. I prefer the utilitarian or conservative corporate look. I'd go with the Pelican 1490 CC but Pelican says it's not a good fit (Note: I saw a thread about this -- I didn'...

I have a NV140M driving a 24" LG LCD (W2452T) thru a minidock. It's hooked up using the VGA connector. The T61/Vista OS detects it at boot and auto sets the resolution to 1920x1200. The Thinkpad has a WXGA lcd.

This is an amazing combination.
