I'm looking for a T60 for a friend, they're wanting to spend less than £100 inc postage. Bare-bones would be ideal and it doesn't really have to be a T60, it could be an R60, Z61, T61 or anything from the same era really. I'd like the avoid XGA resolution but if the price is right I'll go for it. Sh...

Don't know what it's like in Sweden but my Father used Garmin Software on his Atom netbook for years.

Edit: Nevermind, it seems to have been discontinued...

YouTube in older laptops is a bit useless due to flash.

If you use Firefox you can download an add on called "Low quality Flash" which might help but will make it very pixelated!

Fair enough, you learn something new every day!

Have you applied Arctic Silver 5 ?

Excellent write-up, but I have an objection on this. Using a Kingston HyperX on a T500 AHCI gave me BSODs, freezing laptop and generally didn't work at all. With compatibility mode, everything runs smoothly and TRIM is enabled. I had the same issues on the T60, will there be no trim at all if AHCI ...

Nice writeup A31 , I've always just gone for the cheapest SSD I can find in the capacity that I want instead of focusing on their speed, I figured which ever I choose it's going to be a heck of a lot faster than any 5400rpm drive it replaces. Once you use exclusively SSDs mechanical drives seem so L...

T400 takes DDR3 RAM so maxing out the RAM is much cheaper.

what was the cost?
will need one for T43p

I ended up ordering from eBay, the seller has promised that it is FULLY working. I know eBay is risky but I'm just crossing my fingers!

I think I read somewhere on here that unfortunately the business has closed down...

Edit: George beat me to it

Ah, I see. 8GB should keep you going for some time then

I've never done so myself but I can't see any reason why it would't work...

Unless you're running VM's or doing *very* memory intensive work then 4GB would be enough. I'm running 4GB in my T61 and Ubuntu, even with around 8 chrome tabs and thunderbird open, doesn't really ever use above 2.5GB.

PC2-5300 677Mhz should work fine and I think it is the fastest that DDR2 will run at in T61's so bumping up to 800Mhz won't make any difference.

Oh yeah, my apologies, I didn't read through your specs. That CPU is 64bit capable so you should be okay running Ubuntu 64bit.

If you're looking to speed up general usage, 4GB RAM and an SSD would be a much more noticeable upgrade.

Ah you're an Ubuntu user, how well are the Nvidia graphics in T61's supported?

While theoretically you could upgrade to 8GB, there would be little point as a 32bit OS would only see around 3.25GB...

I believe that you can put 8GB of RAM in any T61, although you may need to update the bios first.

As for the 3g modem, from what I know they weren't offered as standard on any models so there won't be any antennas.

Just upgraded this laptop to a T60 and this is what the benchmarks look like with the same SSD:

Found locally, needed it *very* urgently!

I'm looking for a T4x motherboard (preferably 42p or t43) to replace one that had a recent southbridge failure.

Needs to be posted to the UK, but will be happy to pay for reasonable postage from elsewhere.

Thanks,
Ross

Found what I was looking for:

When you say your cursor stops working, does this mean with the inbuilt track point only, or with an external mouse aswell?

Are you able to bring up the Ctrl-Alt-Delete menu, or is the system completely frozen?

I have to have one of these...

I'm saving already!

Thanks for the links guys but I was really hoping for 1600x1200 versions of the ones that used to be at this link:

I was hoping to have a full resolution image to go with my UXGA screen...

Does anyone know where I can find the 20th Anniversary wallpapers that were uploaded my Lenovo a while ago? That section of their Flickr page is now "Private"

I downloaded some at the time but never thought to download any 1600x1200 ones, and I'm in need of them for my new A31p!

Thanks,

Thank you for the recommendation of Nexus 4. I ordered one today. Much cheaper than a Samsung Galaxy S3. The HTC Desire I have been using strains my eyes. That can go on eBay when the Nexus turns up. ... and to think that a few years ago all I needed was a PAYG phone. :D Excellent choice! I'd recom...

I actually did look to see if there were posts that answered MY questions. I didn't, so I posted. Frank What questions were these then? There is already a topic running (only a few topics below your own as RBS pointed out) which contains various opinions about the new T431s, if your questions are c...

Hello, I have been enjoying my thinkpad t60 for a while, but I realize that if i am going to be sitting for a while it would be more efficient to have a standard mouse to use. I would like to take advantage of the integrated bluetooth of the t60 and buy one which can connect with it. To add another...

Finally had another go at re-flowing the slot but I think I've killed it :oops: After my first attempt I stuck a module in and fired her up but got error beeps again so I put pressure on the slot and booted to nothing, no beeps, no post. [censored]. I then tried taking all the RAM out but I still ca...
