If you seem to know it all, why ask? Because I'm not sure. If you read my first post you understand. I think its clear. But I if you have the absolute true, why you lost your time with my, a miserable mortal? Also post your mesage to thinkwiki, that they are wrong and to IBM that they don't know wh...

Here's where the confusion resides: not ALL boards support ALL CPUs when it comes to G4x machines AFAIK. I'm very doubtful that a G40 board that originally ran a Celeron CPU with 400Mhz FSB will do anything productive with a 533Mhz CPU. Good luck. That it's true, but the 400Mhz FSB it's for the G40...

If you see at the HMM, you will find that 3.06/3.2/3.46/3.6/3.73 GHz aren't a 400Mhz FSB CPU's...

Sorry but you are wrong, in thinkwiki they say that mount a Mobile Pentiun 4 at FSB533 (Presscot) http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:G41 If I can put a Mobile Pentium 4 Northwood at 3.06Ghz with Hyper-Threading (SL77P) at 533FSB and socket 478, with only 70 watts TPD vs the 89watts TPD of Presco...

So what are the diferrences between these machines ? only that the G41 can have a dedicated craphic card? The P4 3.0Ghz Prescott HT at FSB800 and 1MB caché don`t boot. The P4 2.4 GHz HT Northwood at FSB800 work BUT in the procedure a broke the screen connector and now I write from external monitor :...

Thanks, I see the HMM and is very limited.(My actual CPU aren't)
I think that the G40 its a FSB400Mhz and the G41 is a FSB533Mhz.
I will try the diferents CPU. I hope don't damage the mobo.

Hi everybody! Two weeks ago I buy a G40 celeron laptop. I changed the celeron with a Pentium 4 2.0Ghz CPU take away from a desktop. Very happy with this machine, run quieter than my old broken A31 with 2.0 P4-M, cpu with only 10 watts more of comsume in normal task. Now I have one new proyect: In my...

Hi everybody, After mi bad experience with mi G40 buy in ebay, I try to make this machine run. The most difficult task I think theey will be the processor, BUT theey was the hdd upgrade that I lost mi 7200RPM Seagate disk in that procedure. The problem I don´t know if was a specific failure of my ma...

Thanks for your anwers. I contacted the seller. I waiting for his decision. I asked then for a new chassis remplacement or I open a dispute with ebay in the next 24 hours and also with PayPal. Meanwhile, I try to make run this machine. I dissasembly it and changed CPU, (P4 desktop at 2.0GHz), new HD...

[censored]! When i arrived to my house and try to upograde the G40, I discover this was A FAULTY REFURBISHED UNIT. Internal component missing (HDD caddy), deformed chassis, the parts don't mach well and it was assembled with clue (locktite)!!!! :-( I buy this unit on ebay USA (I'm from Spain. Europe...

Hi everybody! :-) Just receive my G40. Now I'm at work. The machine was very comfortable to type, A+ for ergonomy :-). It has a Celeron 2.0Ghz and run quietly and noiseless. No especial hot. The wattage is betwen 45-50 watts at normal operation (My broken A31 run at 25-30 watts) When i return home, ...

If they have a 400MHz bus it should work, but I think that the P4/3.7 don't have this. Also caution about the heat that will generate. Another and easy upgrade that boost in general performance is to put a faster HDD: 7200RPM Seagate or Hitachi PATA drive and also a 2GB RAM upgrade.

If you are on budget like me You can try one A31p or T42p (15" screensize). The are cheap and easy to upgrade. The T42p is a most powerful machine (a friend of me have one with 1660x...) and you can get one around $300...

Hi and thanks for your answer! :-) I will work with PuTTY in remote servers and normal Internet surfing and e-mail. No video editing, but yes photo editing. I don't need a horsepower laptop, but yes a confortable one because I typing a lot and a fast USB 2.0 to transfer files betwen external HDD and...

Hi everybody! :-) I just buy a G40 second hand with a Celeron 2.0. Until now, I have for severals years a A31 that the screen was broken :-(. Excellent machine, Upgraded with a 7200rpm hdd, a Draft-N Internal wifi and a 1GB ram. The only problem for me was the USB that are 1.1 too slow. The pcmcia w...
