I just upgraded my T20 to XP and am updating all the Thinkpad S/W and drivers now. I noticed on the IBM site there wasnt anything for speedstep support on XP. Is this still needed ? Can I get it somewhere else?

Ok, another thing I noticed with the new T42, the AC jack in the back is a little loose. It can slip out of the back maybe an 1/8th of an inch with the slightest tug, and seems to jiggle a bit. Anyone else notice the same?

My old T20 never had this problem, the jack locks in pretty tightly...
