Hi all, Looking at the exterior of X20-24 they seemed identical for all the models, just wondering if it's possible to swap in a X22/23/24 motherboard into a X20? Is it a drop-in replacement? If not, what do I need to swap out together? I was warned according to http://thinkwiki.de/X22 in the secti...

re; RAM

The sytem can only recognize up to 2GB. But it is the best you can do with the hardware.

Very in-depth paper from blackhat.

I don't understand it hardly at all, but the gist is that it makes laptops vulnerable.

I am posting right now using my X41 [not tablet].

It has a 64GB Kingspec SSD 1.8" drive, and is great Still using XP SP3.

I read my email and list on Amazon.com, sometimes it is slow, but it is so solid.

Well guys, thanks for the info. I will keep it in mind. I don't game or watch videos much, so I don't use a lot of processing. Since my main 'puter is an X24 IBM 2662MPU w/ 1.13 gigahertz Intel Pentium III Mobile, I'd like to step up. WIll do some research on those sponges now. OK, found your post h...

I know this is an old thread, but wanted to update it. Here's a link to intels product page on the CPU's http://ark.intel.com/products/series/28369/Mobile-Intel-Pentium-4-Processors---M-with-400-MHz-FSB The wattage on the 2.0 MHz is 32, all the higher speeds are 35 watts, not necessarily a huge incr...

I have a couple A31's, but they are not P's though. I would like to get one sometime. But My daily user is still an X24 which I am typing on right this moment. It is slow, but then I only have 30 tabs in Firefox open right now. Love the X series. I'm gonna have to get several of my half dozen parts ...

Just finished fixing up an X41T from another used one. I have a few leftover parts. It was a 1.5GHz Mobo. X41 T Tablet Bottom FRU 26R9167 , Decent/good, corn by stylus broken off, missing one rubber bumper. $5. X41 T Tablet Palmrest FRU 26R9160, Very good, latch present, but small crack. All rubber ...

Started off w/ X20, then X21, now I am writing on an X24. I really do like it, my hinges are getting loose, but i am lazy and don't always close the lid when I pick it up to move. Not a gamer, so it still works plenty good for me. Biggest problem is stupid FireFox memory leak bogs it down badly. To ...

In my X24 I use a DWL-G650 cardbus WiFi adapter, works great.

About a 22 second lag between clicking on the post button and the reply page coming up today.

Just FYI

I need to re-format my X24, and dont have the recovery CD. ANy source for them.
Or does anyone have a copy.

Bought 2 GB for wifes X41 tablet, in the BIOS it sees the full 2.5 GB, but in windos XP tablet, i tonly lists the 1.99 GB.

Ha,

How funny. Just installed a Belkin N1 Wireless card in my X23F5d8011 Ver 1000. Works great! I am using a friends office that had wireless N only enabled, & I had to update from my old D-link DWL-g650.

It is PCMCIA btw.

I too need these cd's. A copy would be fine. I live in New Mexico. Just bought a used X24 off ebay for my 15 yo son, and we are putting it all together.

Thanks,

Rick

I recently had a terrible problem trying to install to a blank HD with the recovery CD. Turns out I had a bad SODIMM memory chip. Once I took that out, it all went smoothly. So, take out all memory from the slot on the bottom of your thinkpad. It worked for me.

The only reason I found it was because I tried to install W98 and got an error message Standard Mode: Fault outside of MS-DOS Extender.

Bad memory can sure cause strange problems, and make you want to pull your hair out when something does not work right.

I had to replace the system board in my X20 2662 - 12U. [Lightning strike on house, UPS could not catch it all] This was a celeron 500MHz. Bought a replacement sytem board from ebay. Board is a 2662-37U, a Pentium® III - 600 MHz. Long story short, I did a low level format on the hard drive, and then...
