Hey,

This is coming from someone seriously interested in upgrading a 390E just so that it can play DVDs and run just a bit faster. I would like to upgrade the processor but the 390E board only supports a 66mhz front side bus speed. Doesnt the 390X system board support 100fsb? The other question is... will the 390X board be a direct fit? Does anyone have one cheap?

Thanks,
Ben

It should slot right in to the E plastics. And yes, it should be a 100Mhz bus. Kingston Memory products actually listed their IBM PC100 RAM as 390X type for ThinkPads through the A/T/X 2x right up to the PC133 A30/T23.
