Would like to replace my beloved T42 2373-4TU with a clean R51 or R52.
Intel graphics only, please.
14" or 15"
XGA 1024 x 768
1.7 GHZ or better
HD - bigger is better
RAM - more is better
56K modem
Wireless card installed (Intel preferred, but not required)
Prefer clean XP pro sp3 installed but not absolutely necessary
Prefer rescue partion installed

I'll check back later. If anyone would like to send details and/or pics via email the address is eswright@alpha1.net . I'm on dial up so please keep pics to 600 wide. Zip code is 77871.

Thank you,

Elaine

You know that you can transfer the RAM, CPU, CD/DVD and hard disk from your T42 to an R51?
And probably other parts as well.

I currently have this R51:
Product: ThinkPad R51 2889-CU4 [change]
Original description: Based on 2889-47U: P M 1.5GHz, 512MB RAM, 40GB 5400rpm HDD, 14.1 XGA(1024x768) TFT LCD, Intel Extreme, 16x10x24x/8x CD-RW/DVD, Intel 802.11b/g wireless(MPCI), Modem(CDC), 10/100 Ethernet(LOM), UltraNav, Secure Chip, 6 cell Li-Ion battery, WinXP Pro

It is in excellent condition.
Want to talk about swapping parts before we discuss a price?
PM me if interested.
