T60p Sata 2

Has anyone found out how to turn on the sata 2 speed on the T60p? My technolust got the better of me and I purchased a Intel X25 ssd 80gb. I then discovered that my T60p sata 2 speed was throttle down. Is there a possiblity that Lenovo will issue a bios fix for this problem? What tweaks me is that I waited to replace my T41p for a Thinkpad with sata 2. Did Lenovo ever publicly state that they had limited the speed of the sata 2.

No fix there, not yet anyway. AFAIK, even T61 runs at SATA 1 speeds...

I once heard that this is actually a hardware problem with the Intel controller, but I really don´t know if that is true either.

I have it from a reliable source that this issue is being worked on for T61/p, but not T60/p...

So, would then the "fix" involve only some BIOS upgrade or also some hardware "fix" (like changing the mobo)?

Fix would be BIOS-related, from what I've been told...

Now, given the layoffs and everything else that is going on in Lenovo, I highly doubt that it's the very first on their list of priorities, but I might be wrong...
