Re: Buying Advice - T440 / T450 /T460 / T470
I prefer to say go for T450 (touchpad T440 users will understand.) And T450 comes with 5th gen intel CPU. But which one tou want T4x0 or T4x0s? For 300 you can catch even T460.

Oh, dear your question is really big mistake. Its will be same as:"Difference between Jaguar vs Aston Martin." Both of cars are high end. i7 is much more better than T9300. I upgraded my previous Thinkpad SL510 CPU to T9600. If you watching movies, listening music, browsing web it is ok. But nothing...

Re: Adding memory to W520 - conflicting information?
I have installed 32Gb of RAM on my laptop. No any issues. Well there is no difference how you put those rams but I recommend you to buy memory kit of 2. Where comes two rams in one pack. Like Corsair, Kingston or what ever with same parameters. I have installed: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0076...

Did you download Touchscreen drivers for Windows 8? You can try install Touchscreen drivers for Windows 7 but in Compability Mode.

Re: 8 GB RAM upgrade for my SL510 failed, no idea why!?
I upgraded RAM as well for my Thinkpad SL510 and works charm. Did you tried put one ram and turn on computer? Maybe one of rams has damage. Try one by one, each ram per slot. I bought rams: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B006 ... 00_s00_i00

Re: T400 weird startup lights?
Well not looks good. Its looks the problem starts at (drivers for your video card is installed.) If video card drivers still not installed than its works good. Can you go safe mode?

Re: T400 weird startup lights?
Did you look in bios settings. Which one you have enabled? There must be option enable external internal something like that. If still not working your connection between card and internal monitor has defect.

Sorry about my late post here. But your temp is ok. You don't have to worry about it until 60 degrees. Mine has 47 degree temp.
If your heatsink fan running non-stop you have to clear up your heatsink from thermal paste and cpu. Which thermal paste you using?
I'm using Arctic Silver 5.
