600m Upgrades (Newbie!)

NO, the 600M uses regular DDR1 SO-DIMMs, not DDR2

Portable One MX - better than IBM T series?

good to know considering Lenovo might not keep up IBM's stellar reputation of quality notebooks

Begining my hunt for a laptop for college.

A IBM Thinkpad T42 2373-M3U is the perfect college notebook in my opinion. its only about $1800 with an edu discount and you get a P-M 745 1.8ghz, 512mb, 60gb 7200rpm hd, SXGA+ 14.1in screen, 64mb ATI Mobility 9600, bluetooth, combo drive and a 3 year warranty

Latitude 110L

the Celeron-M's don't have speedstep like the Pentium-M's do. So they run at full power while the P-M's can either run at low power or adaptive.

Can this laptop accept a 2.0 Dothan?

no, the CPU in that computer is a P4-M, not a P-M like the Dothan. The socket has 478pins while the newer Dothans have 479pins and are not electrically compatible. I think thats the best that laptop will do.

IBM dead pixel hell

bill from thinkpads.com will cherry pick a dead-pixel thinkpad for you for $100. He has really good prices on his thinkpads so it might be almost as cheap to buy it from him, although I don't know exactly how nice your university deal is.

Help buying notebook

A IBM Thinkpad T42 2373-DXU sounds like it suits your needs. Just up the ram to 1gb and it meets every requirement but the firewire and you'll have a badass comp. Add in the firecard and maybe a Audigy 2 ZS Notebook and you'll have one sexy laptop. IBM's are renoun for their built quality and...

Laptop processor upgrade

no, i but i think the thermal output on te A64 would be so much greater than the Sempron, so you'd have a much hotter laptop with much poorer battery life

I want the best gaming laptop available.

Dude you can get that laptop for a lot cheaper. Its just a rebadged Compal CL56, which you can customize for a lot cheaper on discountlaptops.com , powernotbooks.com , tigerdirect.com , mwave.com and so on. Unless you really need the flashy paint job, name and perfect pixel guarantee, save a few...

Mobile 9600 with Omega Drivers

by default the official ATI catalyst drivers don't support the mobility radeons. You either have to run them through the mobility modder (google it) or use the Omega 4.11's

Another recommend me a laptop thread

See if your college has a deal with IBM and try to get a 14.1in T42P. That sucker will handle anything you throw at it.
