Just got my Thinkpad X60 from Techdos slightly over a week. Loving it. Running Vista Business on it now with upgraded 2GB of RAM. Everything is running smoothly except for some graphics problem. When I play warcraft 3, the screens seems to have artifact intermittently. It seems to happen if i move my mouse cursor around very fast. Also, in a 3D simulation that I ran, the 3D graphic would not display correctly, a solid model would seem like a hollow model. I wonder if this is the onboard graphics limitation or the vista having issues with direct x?

Mostly like onboard graphics limitation. The GMA950 was not meant for 3D games. Bro, why did you bought an X60 when you have gaming intention in mind? This notebook was meant for business usage.

Not really I was planning long term gaming on this laptop. I was just testing out the limitations of X60. I am now thinking of recovering it to Windows XP to see if such problems still exist. That way only I can have my own verdict. So far X60 is great doing what it is suppose to do.

Yeah, X series model not really good for gaming de but simple game i think ok bah.. Batt life can last for 8 hours?
Anyone have any idea when X61 will be on market (Malaysia)
I want to get this and my former T60 will be home use

Till now only ThinkPad never ever let me down

Just to let you know Computer War Assistant Manager Mr HC Yeong solved the problem earlier today. He swapped the RAM at the slots... meaning, the IGB RAM took over the original slot of the 512 RAM slot (beneath the touch pad) and the original 512 RAM went to the back of the IBM T42.

Hope this posting helps those facing similiar problems. Cheers!

OMG OMG OMG!

T61 and R61 coming soon
come with freaking widescreen..........

Just read from InTech today that Asustek wins the contract deal to make Lenovo notebooks. But i doubt it's the Thinkpad series, more like the lower end lenovo notebooks.

i doubt that it'll reach our shore in july. not sure if we can see the actual thingy in the coming pc fair, let's hope for it usually new IBM lappy seems to take some time to reach us

btw, without the ibm logo gives me a lenovo feel at first look.

Hi Anwar! I think you are another happy user of Thinkpad?
Bro, i think get a new batt better then refill 1 le.. later explode then problem

Cheers!

but how much is the new battery? any recommended shop for this?

HI,

Use IBM R40 Pentium M 1400MHz, 512MB ram.

The dealer I bought my thinkpad from says a new 8cell battery would set me back RM600+. So expensive.

Anyone read up on Vista OEM installation? Those laptops with factory built-in SLIC tables will be able to install the OEM version of Vista with automatic activation

You can check if the SLIC table exists using Everest Ultimate Edition (trial)
http://www.lavalys.com/products/overview.p...3&ps=UE&lang=en

Look under Motherboard > ACPI > Right-hand side, look for SLIC.

For T60, only certain models made after Jan 07 will have the SLIC table built-in.

Shall we have a gathering for this club?

Hrmm.. Just came across this thread...
Reporting in...

IBM Thinkpad R50P (1832-23A) >> Pentium M 1.7GHz | 1GB RAM | 60GB & 120GB 2.5" IDE HDD On-Board | DVD-RAM Drive (not inserted) | ATI Mobility Fire GL T2 128MB | 15" UXGA LCD (IPS) @ 1600x1200 resolution | GB Ethernet, 802.11b/g mPCI & Bluetooth | 10.8V 6.6Ah Battery | MS Windows XP Pro (SP2)

Have had this notebook for nearly 2.5 years (got it as a free replacement from IBM for my original Thinkpad A30P which had a lot of problems and ultimately died on me after 2 yrs), haven't changed yet because still looking for a notebook that can support 1600x1200 without weighing a ton

Hi All,

Thinkpad R40 user here.
Pentium M 1400MHz, 757MB ram.
OS : OpenSuSE 10.2 Linux

if i want to change harddisk, how to copy the hidden partition?

Make a back up of recovery CD. Change your new HDD and install your new HDD using the recovery disc. It will install the new OS, Thinkvantage and drivers as well as a hidden partition on your new HDD.

it requires 7cds to make the backup rite?
