Thanks to all for answering my question. I do have one more. I didn't know much about Ram and went out and bought an OCZ 2gb stick. I read that the latency is 5-5-5. I see that this is not great. Will this be a problem on my t61p? Will I notice it? I am pairing this 2gb stick with the 1gb stick insi...

I plan to upgrade the memory on my t61p when I receive it. The order shows pc2-5300 1gb as the memory. I went out and bought memory and I have a feeling I got the wrong one. The one I got is pc2-5400. Both are 667 mhz. Will I need to exchange for the current memory or can I use the two in combinatio...

I have a new t61 and am running into a minor but irritating problem. I have the screen saver set for 10 minutes but for some reason it never goes on. I had the same problem with my x30. Any idea why the screen saver would not be activating?

Thanks

Is there anywhere that you can purchase one of these caddies? IF I am swapping the 7k2000 for my 100 gb inside the computer now, will that have the caddy?

Jim

I am waiting for my t61p and looking to do the same thing as you are. Why aren't you considering a clean install? I am thinking this would be the best bet once I receive my new laptop? Any concerns with doing this?

I made my purchase today and can't wait until it is delivered. I ordered the advanced dock since my t43p dock would not work.

I have a T43p and x31, running on windows vista. My current usb devices all work fine. About a week ago, for some reason any new usb device that I try to install will not install.

I currently have 1gb of memory in 2 512mb sticks. I was thinking of replacing both with 1gb sticks each. Is tehre anyway of knowing for sure whether I have 2-512 sticks or 1-1gb stick without opening up the case?

JL

Does anyone have this drive and if so, how does it work?

JL

Thanks

Jim
