The X100e is an AMD based system. I very much doubt that this is compatible with Intel Turbo Memory cards. Maybe you can get a refund on your purchase and by some more RAM or an SSD instead.

Cheers,

I just installed 11.01, but when I checked information it still says Catalyst Version: 10.8. Meanwhile CCC has been correctly updated to the new version. Maybe uninstall the old drivers (you can use the new installer to do this), reboot and then install the new ones. I did ths and my Catalyst versi...

It can operate (anti-socially) on 802.11n the 2.GHz WiFi band with 3 antennas, as I have used one in that mode (for a short time, see below). As for the options in the driver, it will depends on what Atheros has implemented in it. BTW, check your Bluetooth operation carefully if its important to yo...

No, I think it's just 2 antenna connectors.

I've just realised that this card may only be capable of 300Mbps when connected at 5.0Ghz. It may not be able to do it at 2.4Ghz. Does anyone know for sure?

Cheers,

IvanAndreevich wrote:I am pretty sure that this early draft card will not support that speed.

I see lots of references on the web that suggest it can do 300Mbps, eg:

Hi, I've got a ThinkPad X61 with the ThinkPad 11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Mini Express Adapter (Atheros AR5418/AR5008 chip based), running Windows 7. In the driver options, I don't have an option to select "802.11n Channel Width for band 2.4". Does anyone know if it is possible of enable this option in t...

The X61 is Core 2 Duo.
The T60 can be either Core Duo or Core 2 Duo.

Some X60 came with Core 2 Duo, but they are still limited to 3Gb max. usable memory even if running a 64-bit OS.

Cheers,

How about an SSD? Even though the SATA interface on the X60s is only 1.5Gbps max., you'll be surprised how much difference an SSD makes. No need to go for the latest and fastest SSD either with the X60s, so you can save some money there. You'll will probably have to sacrifice some storage space over...

Large enter button. Tiny backspace. One giant fail of a keyboard. Way to ruin a great product. I could never get used to having a minuscule backspace key. Did Lenovo really think that the already cramped keyboard needed a colossal enter key? Who in their right mind actually WANTS that? I think that...

Connect your USB DVD drive with the Windows XP disc in it while the X100e is off. Turn on the X100e and hold down F12 during boot-up. A menu should appear to allow you to choose to boot from the DVD drive. Once you have installed Windows XP, download the Lenovo update utility from their website and ...

If you get the X100e with Windows 7 Pro, you could run your old software under XP Mode, ie. virtualised.

Cheers,

The fall may have dislodged the harddisk from its connecter. Unscrew the harddisk cover, remove it and give the drive a firm, but gentle push. Then try to boot your machine. Hope it works for you.

Cheers,

You don't really need an SSD to do that; my X100e with whatever stock platter drive it came with opens Office 2010 pretty much instantaneously in both 32-bit and 64-bit (dual-booting x86 and x64 on it). Somehow, it manages to boot faster than my T400 with a 320GB Scorpio Black. :? Probably not a fa...

Also, if anyone is having the same problem, it really helped to clean up my registry. WinUtilities is a good program for this. I'm glad you solved your problem. While tools like WinUtilities have their uses, they should not be necessary and are unlikely to solve the issue of a freezing X100e using ...

Do you have you X100e connected to a wired LAN? There were initial problems on the X100e when running on a wired LAN. Download and install the latest BIOS and Ethernet drivers from here: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-74463.html . Or run the Lenovo update utility. Hopefully that sho...

Sorry to hear that. Thanks for the info though.

My X100e is configured the same as yours and I've got the 160GB Intel X25-M (G2) in it. It's totally transformed the machine. It's very zippy now when compared to the 320GB 5400rpm HDD that came as standard. I'm running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. Office 2010 (again 64-bit) apps open in less than 2 second...

When you say a blank screen do you mean the backlight is off also? Or is the screen just black? Does the hdd access light flash every now and then while this is happening?

Dear morkli, Do you think I need the modified BIOS from zender & tape pin 20 even when putting in a "Lenovo-branded" card? Many thanks !! It won't hurt to try it without. I do think you will need the modified BIOS from Zender regardless, but not so sure about the taped pin 20 with a Lenovo branded ...

You'd also need a modified BIOS and tape pin 20 on the WiFi card, then drivers. The hardware switch and Access Connections are unlikely to recognise the card.

Yes, the keyboards are the same across all X6 series models, tablets included.

[ mod edit: removed duplicate thread, including duplicate reply - just trying to keep the thread in one place] It is possible that the Ultrabay drive you bought from eBay is faulty.

PCIe card lockout: Lenovo is one of only a few vendors left that restrict the cards you can add to their own OEM branding. Why do they give you access to cards that cannot be replaced yourself!

Just when I thought all was well, I just had a lock-up. Again doing no more than web browsing. Could still be a driver issue. I will contact Lenovo again.
