Bus speed 1066, the 800mhz T61 will not support that.

But yeah, it can take faster cpus, it's just that there are T60 Core 2's that won't work, T400 Core 2's that won't work, etc.

thanks for moving and at least it's an epic. doesn't matter if it's a fail or whatever...

now back to the main topic...does anyone know?

is it possible to swap the cpus?
the T61 has a 1.8Ghz T7100 processor and the T400 has a p8600 processor

is it possible to swap the two processors around?

or if i have a slower core 2 laptop, can i swap the processor to a faster core 2 processor?

"how did you manage to get your RAM to 2gig?"

Simple, install a 2 gig card in the open slot.
XP will only recognize a max of 2 gigs, but it works fine.

Good health, Weogo

hi - thanks for that! i'm so getting a 2gig stick!!! lol

just seen this one....
how did you manage to get your RAM to 2gig? the 512 is soldered, if i remember correctly! so you can only add a max of 1.5gig (which i have)

oh and i have vista business on mine and gonna install office 2007!

any of you guys running anything other than the standard hard drive on your R52? I want to buy a bigger hard drive but i'm sure i'll get that 2010 HD compatibility error on bootup.
i'm thinking of getting a Seagate 160g from ebuyer

or do you have to stick with 300x speed?

Nice review :wink: Addonics adapter seems to be one of the best... But I keep on saying that the PACF18H is the only one wich is really designed for the IBM X40/41 and also supports UDMA. This adapter has the same size as the Hitachi 1.8 drive and fits perfectly. http://www2.multithread.co.uk/mtcsh...

the head of the screw is rounded already :-( and it's the screw (if you're looking at the X41's bottom with the LCD latch close to your tummy) that's on the top right hand side... so it's kinda buried deep so not easy to just dremel a notch for a flat screw driver. i've heard of screw extractors but...

Hi - anyone know how to get a messed up screw off an X41 laptop? would a screw extractor work? will it be small enough for the head of the screw?

the head of the screw is messed up hence i can't get the keyboard off

oh and it wasn't my fault - it was my stupid boss at work's fault!

i have an 8gig iphone. this new one does not appeal to me because of the changes they made to the back. it's plastic now and i'm not a fan of the color scheme. apart from 3g...they've not really done much to it that's different to my iphone now. so i think i'll stick with mine still. if i can get a ...

hello - how did you add the hidden partition on the new drive to contain all of the R40's image?

come on - there must be somebody here that might know of a way???

hi - thanks for the reply but i actually meant just the laptop. i can't use the docking station or port replicator because i've completely stripped the computer down to the motherboard and it's all fitted inside a picture frame! so i need a way to switch it on without using the keyboard. anybody know?

I would like to know the above? i'm using an R40 for a project (digital pic frame) and i need to ditch the keyboard but i can't see how i can switch the laptop on without the keyboard

please help. thanks

hi all, can anyone please direct me on hot to use WOL (wake on lan) on the R40? i've never done this before but i need to use this feature on my R40 because i am turning it into a digital photo frame and i can't use the keyboard (which has the power button) so the only way i can switch it on is via ...

wow - this is cool to know. i have 1.5gig ram on my x41 at the moment. i'm gonna try and see if i can get a 2gig stick and will put it in. thanks guys!

this is a common problem with the R40. we have a lot of R40's in the company and most of them have gone back to IBM for repair because of this. it's not the cable but the actual port where you insert the cable into. IBM claims it's to do with the motherboard... but it will be expensive to have it re...

I have an R52 in excellent condition and not used much. was just wondering how much i can sell it for as i really want an Xblack or equivalent laptop.
ram 512
cpu centrino 1.7
cd writer
bluetooth
wifi
finger print scanner.
40gig drive

thanks..

thanks - do you know where i can find these layers to place on top of my screen to give me that glossy effect?

as the title says..
i have an R52 and i love it. it's solid and fast enough..but i envy those sony vaios with xblack or xbrite screens when i see them especially outside of the house during the summer months! i can't see anything on my screen when i'm outside!
