I put in a new 1.6 processor, new hd.

I am also intereste din knowing how long it will be a newer computer before a truly new generation of thinkpads come out.

Mechanically, it will last a long long time. If you mean performance-wise, that of course depends on what you use it for. For office and general apps it will be more than fine for a long time, for gaming it is already obsolete.
