What can be put into the WLAN card space of a T61?
What can be put into the WLAN card space of a T61?
Beside the Intel Turbo Memory module, what else can be put into this space?

Nope. That won't work on a T61.j-dogg wrote:SSD I would think, if it's mini-PCIe
Other than Broadcom HD Decoder card there's really not much out there, if anything.

I have bought an adapter card with an USB port, and inserted the USB receiver from my wireless Logitech mouse.
The mouse receiver is now hidden, and impossible to damage or loose.
Another option is to install a USB flash drive, but it will have slow transfer speed (USB 2.0 limited).

The Broadcom HD decoder also only makes sense on Integrated T61s, because nVidia T61s have built in support for HD video decoding (said decoder is also good on any T60/p or Z60/Z61)
Current: T440p (Win10), W500 4058-CTO (Win10), T61 8892-01U (Win2000), Semi-Retired: T61 8892-01U (Win10)

I have done this on many units. I dont remember a T61 but im thinking with the right BIOS it will.

Re: What can be put into the WLAN card space of a T61?
interesting device
i thought i had seen it all and yet this exists
it would make sense if you have an ssd for the main sata drive but needed some supplementary slower secondary storage with all the downsides of an sd card
or you can use an ultrabay device?

Re: What can be put into the WLAN card space of a T61?
That's true, and could be a useful addition for someone who is often, or always, in a strong signal area. But, it made me smile to think about doing that in my area since we must have something like this antenna http://pimages.solidsignal.com/CCS1843_zoom.gif to pick up a TV signal. I was just picturing myself trying to watch TV on a ThinkPad with it connected to that antenna.Kasm279 wrote:There are TV tuners available for miniPCIe.

Re: What can be put into the WLAN card space of a T61?
Turbo memory is a bit of a sham... you can probably use it for virtual RAM. It is almost completely useless to performance if your main drive is an SSD. Some people use it as a location for Windows to throw temporary files to decrease I/O on the SSD. It also increases POSTing time by at least 5 seconds. It does not increase Windows loading time in my experience with an HDD. I removed it from my T500.

May I ask what TV tuner models you have in mind? Perhaps some links to examples on Ebay or Amazon?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, but that price is outright insane.Annecy wrote: ↑Tue Apr 03, 2018 12:05 pm

Would the following (@Amazon) be compatible with my IntelGraphics T61:
