Just got an IBM T40

I ordered a refurbished IBM T40 off of IBMs ebay site. The laptop is really nice. Thin and light, yet durable and such. Only complaint is that there is a pretty annoying red dead pixel about an inch down from the top of the screen and it is really visible on a black background. Anyways I did a reformat and reinstall of XP Pro and the only driver I cant find is one that windows lists as "SM Bus Controller". Anyone know what that is?
 
Now that I think about it, people need to beware of "refurbished" laptops from any manufacturer. I suspect that most of these laptops are fine except for pixel problems, and that the reason these machines are on the "refurbished" block is because customers returned them because of a dead or stuck pixel.
 
Actually I played with it a bit more and it started freezing alot. Even after a fresh reformat. Im going to return it and get a new one instead.
