Like a new machine

I had several things to do to my T40 so I waited until I could do them all at once. I installed an a/b/g wireless card to replace the old b one. I installed a new CPU - a 1.7 Dothan replacing the 1.3 Banias. And then I replaced my old keyboard with a new one.

Wow!

Big difference! Like a new machine.

So now it's a T40, 1.7 Dothan, 1 gig RAM, a/b/g Wireless, 100 gig 7200 RPM Hard Drive machine. I LIKE it!

Congrats man. I did the same thing for my T41p - upgraded my banias 1.5GHz to a Dothan 1.7Ghz and just bought a SXGA+ lcd off ebay to rpelace my dying one - I cant wait.

I've been using it with Audacity to capture our church worship service. When I closed and saved the file, it would take anywhere from 14-18 minutes. Today it did it in 8.

I think the processor change was worth it.
