or it is better to sell every modules.

this is recommended.

hmm... perfect. my computer is referred to as they as it's non-binary. it's also genderfluid in such a way that i must use it/itself pronouns when it doesn't have a CMOS battery (context: it doesn't have a CMOS battery at the moment).

i've added those oddball drives to the ThinkWiki with the FRU and bezel identification included. thanks a lot for letting me know about this Screamer, maybe you should be handling the FRUs instead y'know?

if you happen to need some details regarding the inner workings of SpeedStep, you can read it here: https://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/SpeedStep . the old writeup was somewhat incorrect so i gave it a touch up. and here's Turbo Boost: https://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Turbo_Boost . i typed out whatever i k...

I had it in a widescreen R61 of *some* kind. As for anything else, no idea. aaaand it's in. i added it to the ThinkWiki - http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Ultrabay_Enhanced_Battery . there's a load of unknowns here and there though, my guesses can only do so much... any suggestions or corrections? i k...

Yes. It does exist. I've owned one many years ago. excellent, but do you happen to recall the FRU and ASM part numbers of the battery? i'd like to know the part numbers, and maybe even the battery's voltage and amperage if possible. do you also happen to recall the battery's compatibility, as in wh...

there is this strange looking part in the second edition of the 15.4" R61/R61e/R61i's HMM, "Ultrabay Enhanced battery (2nd bay battery)" FRU 40U4890. what is this? a typo? i've been looking around and there's no clear indication if it's real or it's just a mistake in the HMM. could anyone verify if ...

top dog Latitude E6500 with a T9900 preinstalled, a WUXGA dual CCFL LCD, NVS160M and a backlit keyboard. Completing that with SSD 6GB of RAM and a charger it is about C$130. allow me to compete with my top percentage Tecra A10 with an X9100 which i installed, a TN TFT CCFL 1920x1200 LCD which is ab...

it has to be 1Rx8, it can't be 2Rx8 or 2Rx16. i'm positive 4 GiB DDR3(L) SO-DIMMs never had a 2Rx16 configuration either, that's just stupid and nonsensical.

you unknowingly bought a hunk of junk, at next to no cost? well, i guess that's simply the norm for nearly everyone nowadays. not that i can complain or criticize it, it's just like opinions and preferences. a Rage Mobility M0 can handle Viper Racing fine (~36 fps), as for SWAT 3 i'm not sure. and i...

any A21e, A22e, or i Series 1800 shares their keyboards with the T20, T21, T22, and the T23. i used to have an i Series 1800 that had its keyboard swapped out for a T2x's keyboard, so that works too. however, it WON'T fit on A21e models that are not MT 2655/2663/2664 systems. those A21e models were ...

It takes 5 seconds to load webpages and can't run two applications at once smoothly. *ahem* . your SL410k has 2GB of RAM, doesn't that obviously give you the speed of a turtle? the web has been getting more and more bloated over the years, and 2 GB is... just asking for trouble. well, unless you're...

a friend told me that you posted this in the r/thinkpad subreddit, but you deleted it for some reason. anyways, he wanted me to pass you his post which he originally wrote for you. said he 'didn't want it to go to waste'. If you can't find it anywhere, it is very unlikely to be obtainable (FRU: 26R8...

It makes me not even want to use the T520, and prefer even the A31p screen size to the T520. The height of the A31p screen is nice, but it doesn't have the width of the T500. ...and it doesn't have the width of your T520's display panel (heh, the catch is that it applies only to the low-end 1366x76...

is video RAM inside a G84/G86 chip or outside on the motherboard? on the motherboard or daughterboard, all G84 and G86 chips did not have an on-package VRAM variant. I've been trying to figure out what G86-731-A2 chips are and if the RAM is inside and if it is how much of it is there. IF we were to...

install S3's ChroMetal 4.5 unified driver package, but i'm not very sure if it'll work because S3's driver support is known to be absolute crap.

there's no .exe to run the setup for that driver, so install it via device manager by using the 'update driver' method on 98SE, don't use this on 98FE.

assuming those optical drives from your research are the 2.5-inch MicroSATA LG BU40N and the BU50N tray-loaders, you're close. but unfortunately, to 'legally' play UHD Blu-rays, you need something more than a optical drive capable of reading said media. you need a GPU that supports HDMI 2.0a with HD...

no, there aren't any of them. current UHD Blu-ray drives that are available for now are too big and too tall to fit, you should just get an external optical drive if such a feature is important to you.

there isn't a trick behind the Pentium M 7x0's TDP ratings, it was simply Intel's decision to rate them on a 'TDP class' basis rather than accurately stating each CPU's TDP (see the Pentium 4 CPUs for an example of an 'accurate' TDP rating). so, if a CPU's TDP happens to be between 30~40 W (let's sa...

Thought T_case is for the CPUs with IHS, and T_junction is for the CPUs with bare die. for any Intel CPU with a heatspreader, Tjunction and Tcase applies. on any Intel CPU without a heatspreader, Tjunction will only apply. This is Intel's description for T_case: "Case Temperature is the maximum tem...

it's clearly not measuring Tcase if that's truly the temperature reported, it should be Tjunction considering the extremely high core temperature.

yes it does, but only under Windows XP and above. for 2000 and below, that's going to need Intel's SpeedStep utility to change multipliers.

it's not 'marketing crap', that's what the CPUs have been tested and certified for . you have to also consider that not all CPUs are the same in terms of performance , since any of them can perform differently, even if they are identical models (e.g: my 2500K overclocks better than my friend's 2500K...

8 GB DDR2 modules actually do exist, but with a very big catch: they were only available in FB-DIMM form. which means it won't work with anything that doesn't have support for registered/buffered memory, unfortunately.

absolutely, but only if you care about security to the fullest. if you don't, just ignore it. seems to be the usual Intel software suite that's not of any use, unless you need it for some reason. and that's up to you. if you didn't know, there's a way to manually update the firmware without needing ...

who knew Lenovo was planning to reanimate the long dead series... just to bring it back as a China exclusive series that's pretty much the E Series with aluminium display lids. pictures of the R480: https://tk.lenovo.com.cn/product/100029.html pictures of the R490: https://www.thinkpad.com/product/4...

first, let's get the terminology right to prevent unnecessary confusion. Intel's chipsets after the Core 2 series was just the PCH (platform controller hub), defined by Intel themselves. in the Core 2 series and before, it was a northbridge and a southbridge setup. in older platforms, there would be...

the CPU isn't just the CPU itself for this era, it's more than that. a lot of people in the know call these new CPUs SoCs for that very reason, because it integrates a lot of components into what would be the package meant for only the CPU. they might have the same voltage and amount of solder balls...

The 450 also has 8Gb of shared video ram vs 2GB of from the T440. to be clear, the HD Graphics 5500 will not allow such an amount to be allocated unless there is 16 GiB of RAM installed. this also only applies if the T450 is running Windows 10, if it's running Windows 8.1/8 or 7, it will only alloc...

that's a good question. i'm not exactly sure as XMP (by default) has to be enabled manually through the UEFI, and then you'd need to select an XMP configuration to make full use of the XMP-certified DIMM. if the UEFI doesn't support XMP, the XMP-certified DIMM will use its fastest JEDEC profile inst...

overclocking isn't safe , there's a reason why nearly every sane company out there that promotes overclocking has a disclaimer attached. well, as long as you know your system's limits, you can overclock as you see fit. however, if you ever do manage to completely render your system unusable from ove...
