you're not alone... Hello my name is Bill and I am also a Thinkpad Wrencher. I started with a T21, did the 5400RPM HDD upgrade + RAM, then after an accident, replaced the base with a T23 1GHZ, (which i had to jimmy and cut to fit the keyboard bezel) bought MORE RAM, and I just got a great deal on a...

.. just curious since both models have the type-number 2648.. can I exchange a T22 motherboard with the one from a T23? anyone here heared of a succesful modification?

thanx for any answers!

ppl of earth! :) some time passed since I upgrade any harddrives... so my information might be outdated. my plan is to substitute the old HD in my T22 with a sleek and fast 7K60 or maybe a 7K100 since there are cheaper over here (113,- euro). my plan was to install the hitachi via USB2-external box ...

It´s the amount of RAM-banks on the stick... newer RAM has too much RAM on one of each banks. there is some rare 133er RAM which has the full RAM size defined by 16 x banks or so, this ones will work on T22. if the RAM-density is too high it won´t work in your T22 I was looking for CL2 RAM for my T2...

.. and talking to myself here... and not carying about it. someone else might read it and need this info... went back to ACPI, double IDE-driver is gone again... PC-STANDARD was more performant but I experienced baaad blue screen deaths when harddisk went busy. had paralell, serial and IR disabled i...

ok, thank you a lot. the tip with XP Pro is apreciated a lot! I have ressource conflicts WHATEVER I do, even devices I switch off in the BIOS are getting and IRQ nevertheless ... a lot of people are convinced that IRQ-sharing works fine but these must be people running office software only. as soon ...

ppl of earth

has anyone here found out how the

>>
1st PCI IRQ
2nd PCI IRQ
3rd PCI IRQ
4th PCI IRQ

section in the BIOS (CONFIG) works?
what does it mean exactly?

1st, 2nd etc. of what?? is this
equivalent to "PCI-slots" in desktops?

is there a IRQ-table somewhere?

thank you!

... nobody with XP AND W2K experience in this forum??

come on, don´t let me dry out here..



thanx in advance..

cheers again,

this question is related to my other enigma about APIC on T22 systems.

i was asking myself if the ACPI-handling in XP is at least slightly better then in W2K. in the case some users here can tell me their experiences I would upgrade my T22.

thanx in advance!

oops. it seems I placed some hardcore questions..



but one thing gets clearer:

my SiSoft Sandra tells me the PIII coppermine doesn´t feature "Local APIC build-in" so I guess no multiple IRQs on the T22 ...

ppl of earth! I am new here but it looks like a nice place to stay... :) problem: I was bored of havin´ 6 devices sharing the same IRQ on windows 2K with ACPI-hal (audio was popping sometimes and I don´t accept occasional cracks when watching a DVD) so I decided to give good old PC-standard a new ch...
