T40 Hard Drive

I need to replace a broken hard drive in a T40. Other than e-bay, are there other places that sell unused T40 compatible drives?
If you can find one, please post a link.
Thank you.

8 gig memory error

I purchased Corsair 2 x 4GB DDR3 1066MHz for a T500 with Windows 7 64bit. When I plug both sticks in, all I get is error beeps and the computer does not even go to BIOS. With one stick plugged in (either one), no problem, also with 2 x 2GB DDR3, no problem.
Any ideas why this is happening??

DVD drive compatibility

Is the CD/DVD drive not compatible between T500 and older T models? If not, why is this so? They seem to be the same size, but the connector is different.

T500 memory

Is it worth spending more money on memory, or will the cheapest do the job just as well? Will there be performance boost between a PNY brand module and the most expensive G.Skill, or Crucial?

How to access BIOS setup

During start-up, i press the blue access IBM button and it pauses boot for a moment then asks for me to press Ctrl+S, which takes me to Intel Boot Agent. When I exit this, it continues on with windows. So how do I get to BIOS setup?

blurry resolution

My computer's native resolution is 1680 x 1050. This makes things very small to see in some cases. When I switch to lower resolutions, the display is blurry. Is there a way to sharpen it, without being in native resolution?
