I work for IBM and I'm having a hard time getting those CDs! The sticker on the bottom of the laptop does say Windows XP Home. Directly under that, it says IBM Corporation. Under that is the key. Do you remember if the stickers on any of the previous Thinkpads you've reimaged had IBM's...

I already tried an OEM copy of XP Home. Doesn't work with the key on the laptop. I also tried a retail copy and, just for grins, an MVL copy. None of them like the key on the laptop. I found on another forum that IBM uses a special copy of XP Home and Pro that needs to be used for with the...

I have a theoretical question for those of you who may know. I have a Thinkpad T41 that I purchase about 2 1/2 years ago. It has a sticker on the bottom with a product key for Windows XP Home. I've had it loaded with XP pro which was provided by my company. I'm getting ready to sell the...

This is probably a reach but does anyone have a legal XP Home license they don't want or need? OEM or retail will work.

Yep. You're right. But since this particular forum software doesn't notify via e-mail when PMs are received but it does when subscribed forums are updated, responding with "PM sent" is a good thing because it lets the person that is requesting an item know that they actually have a PM...

PM sent

I've got one of these. PM sent

I need to get a new KVM for my setup at home. I need at least 6 ports and it must be able to support 1680x1050 for my widescreen LCD. Does anyone have some experience with this to help me figure out which is a good model to support my config? Any help is appreciated and if this question is...

I've got a SB Live 5.1 Digital. PM me (include details in the PM of what you're looking for please.) Gone to LeetestUnleet

I've got one. I don't know where I got it or when but it's been in my desk drawer for a very long time. :D

Thanks for the replies people. Since I've never been a big OC'er, I guess I'll start thinking about saving money with the 6400 and get into OC'ing a little more, spend more money and get the 6600, or just save the money and get a 6400 and realize that I'd probably never use the full potential...

That thought had occurred to me but if you can overclock the 6400 to 6600 speeds or even beyond, does that speed increase perform as well as the 6600 with amount of cache you get on the 6600 (4mb per core vs. 2mb on the 6400)?

I've noticed in the For Sale/Trade category that some people have been selling their e6600 CPUs and downgrading to the e6400. Why? Is there some advantage the e6400 has over the 6600? I haven't done a lot of investigating on new processors recently so if this is an obvious question to some of...

Yep. That's what I'm finding too. I'm getting this one. We'll see how it works.... Thanks for the input.

Yeah, I found that matrix too but I'm not sure I completely trust the information. For one thing, it's over 2 years old. For another, I'm finding other links that show some other wireless cards that are supposed to work with the T30.... like this one -...
