I bought my Kingston PC2 5300 and i dont think its IBM certified. Nevertheless i assume its the same as the original RAM stick was running on Elpida chipsets and same goes for the Kingston. Bought 512MB for only RM190. My laptop is running on dual channel now so i believe those RAMs are identical.

Do u mean that we have to buy the selected kingston ram certified by Lenovo?

yup,we do sell it at low yat plaza

coz tat is the condition u can send for warranty if the system no stable.

how much 4 512M ddr ram?

So you replaced your Compaq V3000z with an IBM? Which one is better and why?

Thanks

Congrats on your new lappy

v3000z - stylish, handsome design, great spec for vista, truly for multimedia entertainment (turion x2 64bit, gf 6150, dvd burner, 1gb ram, altec speaker, 14" brightview) n affordable price, BUT hdd heat problem (i hate this the most), 2.5 hours battery life (can change to 12cell Rm300++ but heavy) n easy to get dirty (fingerprint prone)

r60 - formal look, very very sturdy housing (underneath is magnesium alloy), top notch built quality (the lcd hinge is superb), best typing keyboard feel (u'll nvr know after u use this), point stick (i start to love this, more convenient than touch pad), high security functions, extreme great software support, can customise kao kao, 4-5 hours battery life (6 cell) depending usage, and the most happy thing, TOTALLY NO HEAT PROBLEM even full load, farewell to my cooler, can on 24hours now naked, only cons, u pay the same price but get low spec (256mb, dvd combo - these 2 can upgrade; not altec speaker but not too bad; core duo 32 bit n gma 950 only - but vista will take years to shift to 64bit, n i din play games either; not brightview lcd - my eyes find this better, more comfort for long hour usage (4-5hours); no card reader - just bought external 1 RM23 from vcool; no svideo - this isnt important if u din connect ur lappy to tv, but i wan it actually )

both got pros n cons, if u r looking for an all rounded spec machine w an affordable price, v3000z.. if u can fork extra n wanna bring the lappy around always to surfing n typing, IBM is no doubt

my own preference, IBM R60, my main task is typing n surfing, n bring the lappy around college for assignments, thts suits me perfectly compare to v3000z which has short battery life n hdd heat problem.. if i wan an entertainment machine, i hv already go for high spec desktop, i wont play games in college, or starbucks .. anyhow i didnt play any online games or others either, as i oledi got ps2

edited: and 1 more thing, the thinklight is extremely cool to hv, it's a small light at the top of the lcd and shines to the keyboard, i can now type in the dark room

welcome to the Thinkpad bandwagon wtm0325. Btw, heard of the news of a thinkpad exploded in LAX airport?

nice meeting u Thrust

yeah but luckily mine is sanyo battery n no matter how, i got mine new set near Rm2.5k only for the price i'll say it's EXCELLENT, hvnt talk bout the quality yet

really satisfied w this notebook, goin to upgrade my ram tomorrow, only 1x 512mb 1st, ram price is shooting up now

*anyhow dun ask me where to get it, it's a legal set btw

I know where you got it... it's from www.lelong.com.my by a woman named Kelly.
Am I right ?

Anyway you can trust that the R60 will run fine for years to come because I got my R51e from her also last year and it's running as good as new till today.

She sells ThinkPads at real low price + free gifts (free usb mouse, usb keyboard and 5pcs Sony CD R/W), till date i still wonder where she got the stock from.

Any hints wtm?

ceh no syok u got me edi

yeah got from her, it's a real bargain, n she's a freelance, is helping others to sell actually

those stock comes from an advertising company, where the clients pay back the ibm laptop as return/gifts

wtm0325, U r very humble bro! From Compaq thats 70+ threads to this ThinkPad 20+ threads. BTW I also a HP-Compaq user. When I was first used the keyboard, wow very nice (don't know how 2 express). Eventhough it a low spec but it a Intel Core Duo processor!!!!

yo bezitagt, dun say like tht

yeah the feel is just, really how to describe! every1 will thought IBM so old fashion looking, very normal, but when using it, i'll nvr wanna stop typing!

I see that u upgraded ur RAM. Where u bought that? I'm thinking to upgrade to 1GB. Any suggestion?

wtm, now you know how cool ibm is. well i will have to bear with 2 v3000 until dual core 2 come to ibm with dvdrw as standard and ill join the ibm club back. miss my eraser head, thinklight, and 4h 45min battery. and the keyboard. haih.

do i need to take out the battery when the thinkpad is connect to existing power adaptor?
