If it has built in memory, then it probably won't work. I've read that PC66 is incompatible with PC133, apparently the PC133 can't slow down / work well with the PC66 so you'd get memory problems or it just wouldn't boot. Look for PC100 instead, it's common although not so common as PC133 and...

I dropped an IBM T23 a few times, usually while it was in my bag, mostly turned off - although I did drop it a few feet once while it was running. The worst it's suffered is the hinge part got knocked out of place but no actual damage to the hinge other than it being dislodged. Of course, the...

Both of those batteries are good, the 4000mah battery has 43Wh of capacity while the 3600mah battery has 38Wh of capacity. That's 20-30 minutes of run time. So it's up to you really. I don't know much about the 600 series batteries but I do know that they sell for far too much on ebay because of...

9 months is a rather pessimistic claim unless you take no care of the battery or run games while running on battery all the time. Although he may have a point if you discharge and charge the battery every single day since that's around 500 cycles. I've seen ruined batteries after just 150...

Not that I know of, if it won't charge at the moment, then you can't update the BIOS, and there's a chance it still won't charge even if you do successfully update it. There are some people who connected the battery terminals up to a charger at 12 volts and 1 amp, but that's very dangerous to...

If the 600E has an older BIOS, it's possible that the battery will need to be replaced first. I don't know how you could flash the bios without a floppy drive. Nero can possibly do emulation for that, but you need a fully charged battery to do that, which means you'll have to get one first, and...

You've told it to extend the desktop, from the regular display properties - you need to go into the advanced display properties and use the ATI displays control panel bit to tell it to clone the LCD monitor instead of extending it.

Like the other guy said, it has a mini pci combo card - it can also be replaced with a wireless minipci card with a suitable patch cable. Which is what I've done on mine, much more useful although the internal wireless antennas aren't that great.

Similar problem here with an X20, I found out the solution too, plug it into the ultrabase and it should get louder. Of course, if you're using the onboard speaker, that little thing's not too good anyway. With earphones, it's loud enough to sound loud at full volume, but I guess with larger...

Why not? My only reason for asking this is that I just got a 40gig 4200 toshiba drive for cheap. I mean, yeah my 6022GAX failed and almost took all my files with it, and the company I bought it from eventually just refunded me my money since toshiba wouldn't/couldn't fix it? But uh... that...

The 600x CAN play divx and xvid well, just not all of them. If you look for the most recent unofficial FFD-show build, that has a low cpu usage. It makes divx and xvid files watchable to the point where they'll play nicely on my sister's 400mhz 600E laptop. Some XVID 1 beta videos that I've made...
