On line T43 offer

[findrivr]

Hi everyone-
Maybe most have seen this T43 [2668WMYR/M] online offering [not sure about their last 2 characters of the product #]:
The add specifies a P730, 1.6ghz, but IBM specs the model out at P760, 2.0ghz?

If its all that IBM specifies, it's a better system all around than my T41; I have a non BT, [2373R03] i just upgraded w/ a Seagate 5400 rpm 120gb [smooth, quiet, fast so far] drive last year. I have always missed not having a built-in BT; the fingerprint read I don't really care about. I thought about buying and just replacing my new Seagate into the T43, but I remeber reading that the T41 has a different mbrd than the T41, so it maynot work that easily. Though I'm sure I can sell my T41 easily here or on CL locally. Mine is a 2373-R03 w/upgraded hdd. I figure if there's no restock fee, if it looks in bad shape, i'd only be out the shipping cost back to them.
Anyway, just wondering if anyone thinks this 30 day warranty, reconditioned unit is worth the trouble as a step up.
Thanks for looking.

I don't think that the advertised type/model number jives with 2668-WMY
Product: ThinkPad T43 2668-WMY [change]

The buy.com is a minimalistic version with integrated Intel graphics and XGA, compared to discrete graphics and SXGA+ above.
IBM ThinkPad T43 Notebook, Intel Pentium 730 (1.6GHz), 1GB RAM, 80GB HDD,14.1 XGA (1024x768) TFTLCD, Intel900, 8x DVD, Intel 802.11abg wireless(MPCI), Modem(CDC),1Gb Ethernet(LOM), Windows XP Pro, Bluetooth, Fingerprint Reader -Factory Refurbished - IBM2668WMYR/M - Bluetooth - Fingerprint Reader - Limited Stock

Only the optical drive from your old laptop can be transferred to the T43.
The hard disk will cause error 2010, and the RAM won't fit.
Hardly worth it IMHO.
