Re: USB1 to USB2

on a side note, if you end up buying an pcmcia usb 2.0 adapter, be prepared to loose another usb port as hard drives without an external power source(like most 2.5" external cases are) will not be able to spin / operate correctly the power coming from the adapter. you'll have to use a second usb por...

the max power consumption for merom is 3 watts higher than a yonah (34 vs 31watts) the dye size for a merom is bigger due to the bigger l2 cache (4 vs 2mb) but is small enough to fit in the 478pin pentium m socket that has been used since the banias core.

ok. the hmm is for both x61, and x61s this makes sense.
3 regular panels for x61 and the ultralight(tmd) for x61s.

do you know if the x61s can be had with a regular panel instead of the ultralight?

I've been looking over the tabook and thinkwiki and have some questions. 1. Do some of the X61 series(non-tablet) have IPS/Flexview panels? 2. Do ALL X61s have ultralight displays or can it be configured with the normal one my research tells me it's no for both questions. I have a bet going with a r...

since games are running fine. i would rule out any memory or graphic hardware problem.
however, there might be a driver problem with your media player.
try switching to a different player.
