No it doesn't, the author looks for the acpi info as well, darn IBM/Lenovo makes a big secret out of it...

You are so wrong ... It supports your T41 but it does NOT support T43 ...

Well, I'm happy for you guys, but I don't think IBM is gonna to recall the first T43p models and fix the fan noise though (although they should). PS: I'm still very angry about the noise, and the thing which irritates me even more - IBM support rejects to recognize that the problem exists and they d...

Why do you think the price will drop so much till christmas? Couple of fresh models (from Samsung, Acer & ViewSonic - 6/8ms) have just appeared on the market. Reading some reviews (tomshardware I think or heise.de) the author stated that the price is very likely to drop 20% from its current level i...

Hmm... I can't say anything about MiniDock (I'd like to know it too actually), but what concerns the price of Dell 2405FPW in Austria - don't tell me you are buying this thing online at dell.at or at a local MediaMarkt store. e.g. have a look at this one: http://cgi.ebay.at/Dell-24-2405FPW-Flat-pane...

Hi guys, I wonder if somebody on this board has or may get the necessary specification of T43 acpi? It would very very nice & helpful indeed, I'm about to starting writting fan controlling util for Windows and right now I'm trying to get as much info as it is possible. Googling hasn't brought much (...

i am a Student from Germany and i am just thinking about buying the same Notebook you have from studentenrabatt.ch, because its mutch cheaper then in Germany. Please, think again!!

There is nothing to convience you of. Just a personal tip - do NOT buy T43 (even in case the price were the same). I think T43's is the worst T model ever... If you are so desperate, go for T42. PS: I received my T43p in the end of May, so after using it for more than 3 months, I do regret the purch...

So whenever I get the CPU at full load for a while the cpu gets very hot (60-75 C sometimes 80). The problem is the fan never get faster. I've heard the fan become a lot faster before just not when the cpu is at full load anymore. Edit: I have the 2686-DGU well, it what they call passive cooling......

Concerning the operating systems of Apple vs. Win XP Pro: if you install win xp pro without any firewall and virus-security tools like F-Secure or Norton, I am pretty sure that you will have viruses ans spywares during the first contact with the internet.

Hey there, I'm about to buy an external widescreen monitor for my T43p, most probably the Dell 2005FPW 20" (external keyboard and mouse come as well, so the TP is gonna be a tower ;) as a notebook I plan to use it when I'm e.g. on the road). So, I would like to ask if someone has some expirience to ...

Hi guys, I decided to contribute my 2 cents... I have (T43p, 2.13Ghz 770) and here are my chc setting (I'm running perfectly stable and have spent couple of hours with prime95 and RM Clock, so hope it helps u too) 6x - 0.7 8x - 0.732 9x - 0.764 10x - 0.812 11x - 0.860 12x - 0.908 13x - 0.956 14x - 1...

Hmm, I wonder how does 15" Flexview compares to Dells screen, anyone?

Hi,

I am quite curious, what kind of motherboard do we T43(T43p) owners have. I mean, I know it has i915 chipset, the bus speed is 533Mhz, but who is the manufactor etc?
I'd appreciate some info indeed, thnx.

Regards

it is exactly the case
But honestly, it does not bother me at all...

me either, IBM/Lenovo has forgotten to specify the month/year ...

15" of course - and I enjoy it a lot.

I do understand you, BUT I have payed around 5000 for mine and I was waiting abit more then you... it worth the wait though.

Is there any guide for that? or could you explain it a bit more? Sorry for such lame questions, but I'm not much of a thinkpad hardware specialist.
thnx.

If you guys are going to make it, I mean, apply AS or something for CPU or GPU, I would appreciate your making some pics, describe the process and share with us the info a lot... I'm sick and tired of this f.... fan. And IBM support plays fool = it functions as designed...
Thnx.

And this also explains why some people get a quiet T43 (if you get a T43 with the heat disappation unit tied nicely with the GPU) while some people get a noisy one. If this is the case, I would consider it a very serious problem and you may call me an optimist but IBM/Lenovo should call back such m...

Temperature and noise:[/b] The main factor holding me back from the T43 and opting for the T42 was the whole heat and noise issue that T43 users had been reporting. Well, I don't know if it is a result of my undervolting, or just a better constructed model, but I have no heat nor noise issues. My r...

Hi, Would you, guys, try the following, pls: ThinPad Configuration -> Power management -> Power Manager -> Select theme (I have made my own, called custom) -> Edit, then change the settings to Max.

Hey gang, Probably funny question, but still, how exactly do you clean the lid of your TP? Whatever I do, the lid always has my fingerprints on it, needless to say it doesn't look nice, does it? I would appreciate any advice on the issue, thnx. PS: It is T43p, if I'm not mistaken, they all have the ...

I can't but agree, my fan starts off in 15/20 mins does not matter what. Withing these 15/20 mins the temp may hit 50, but the fan stays off. But as soon as 15/20 mins barrier is crossed, ciao, my tp has to start screaming...
Yes, for me it is screaming...

Right, the authour of CHC plans to add fan control feature to his program, the only thing is, he wants to make a global one (for all the notebooks), so I do have doubts it'll be possible in the nearest future. What concerns Linux - yes, there is IBM-ACPI 'fan control', but it kinda sucks (at least o...

On the fan/heat issue, wtf people? Maybe im lucky, but I have not had any problems on this issue. The power manager CLEARLY indicates how loud the fan will be on a certain power setting. "Fan sound level:" wtf? What can I say, see you in a week or so in this forum again... The first impressions are...

You won't notice it if you are somewhere in public. But... as soon as you get in a classroom, library or work with the lappy in the evening in a quite room, it'll drive u nuts.
