Hi!

Quick question.

First, i am IBM fan, few months ago my T42 died(1.8Ghz Dothan/9600 64mb/15" SXGA+ flexview) so i had to find something to play with, i am owner of T500(dual gpu/T9400/4gb ddr3) but this Flexview panel makes me happy, i have T43p UXGA ips panel too, so ..i think you get the point.

That T61 4:3 search FAILED so i got two T60 15"s( XGA` s).

T60(1)
Intel GMA 950 128bit dedicated memory (256)
T2300
2gb ddr667
80gb 5400rpm

T60(2)
X1300 (this is where it gets messy) 64bit(??) 64MB DDR(??) + dedicated
T7200
2gb DDR667
320GB 5400rpm

What i want is playing 720p/1080p using docking with Dell 2312HM monitor with normal framerates. None of above can do that.

My question is, what would you do, x1300 got shader 3.0, Intel GMA950 has 2.0a so on paper it is better, but i think it is slower than already slow GMA 950, which one would you use to upgrade(SSD/T7600/RAM/ UXGA or SXGA+ IPS)

Curently i am runing 3dmark 03/05 so i will post benchmarks and passmark results so as GPU-z Screenshots.

I can (just only) play 1080p YouTube videos without any problems on my T60 with X1300. However, I have only been able to achieve this on the internal monitor while running Xubuntu. My CPU is a T7400.

Can you post GPU-z ss?Im interested in what version of x1300 you have(64bit/128bit/DDR/DDR2), i will try Mint Mate later on too.

CPU-Z doesn't work on Ubuntu.

I believe all X1300 on T60 are 64bit/64MB GDDR1.

Minitube is a third party app that can play Youtube videos at far lower CPU utilization than the browser itself. There are probably other similar apps as well.
