T61 Perynn support

#1 Post by .nox » Tue Jun 17, 2008 6:32 pm

Hi guys,


My understanding is that not all T61s support the Perynn chip. Some equipped with the right plannar actually support them while the other T61s display an error message ( that you can 'Esc' out of ) and the cpu fan doesn't start.

If I were to get a T61 with the plannar that doesn't support the Perynn chips, how could I fix it aside from sending it to Lenovo ?

Thanks

All new T-series thinkpads that lenovo is selling on it's website support Penryn, if you were to buy a T61 then why not get a one that actually supports the processor.

Im curious about this as well as I just got a new T61 (well, new to me :) from someone on the forums here and it was produced in the time when Penryn was just about coming out.

I think there are some threads on Notebookreview about this and people are confirming which planar they have had success with upgrades on.
