IBM computers crap? Yuu're an idiot. You probably worked on some old IBM PC (which are well built machines), but trust IBM mainframe computers belong to the best in the world.

fool...

I want one - fitted in my head

@warpq1 it says on the bbc news website that they have now released a prototype of this memory chip!!!! bbc . co . uk / news / technology-16047098

@warpq1 ibm's old aptivas were crap. but their ps1 and ps2 systems were awesome for their day (486 386 days) and their thinkpads during the aptiva days were very reliable and sturdy systems. their servers have always been awesome and today is no exception. there is a reason it was called an ibm compatible (most of this isnt directed at you, your comment just prompted me)

WOW!

@Robloxian182 Lol it has a track pad and the joystick nub. All T30's use DDR, not DDR2.. You failed. They won't even physically fit..

Just quit while your behind. You opened your mouth, then got called out immediately.

@hakemon well did THOSE have a freakin' trackpad? its kinda like gamecubes, i may have a DOL-001 model while you may be working on a DOL-000.

@Robloxian182 Wow, your just an idiot. The IBM Thinkpad T30 does NOT use DDR2, it uses regular DDR memory. I was just working on 14 of these 2 days ago.

VRAM and System RAM have nothing to do with each other in this case. So seriously, go to tech school and get real experience before you take on a technician and systems engineer.

@hakemon i borrowed some ddr2 RAM for about a day from a friend then installed 7 blah blah blah then returned the ram to him and put the 256mb back.may i remind you it has a 32mb GPU? (ati radeon mobility 7500

[hakemon]

@Robloxian182 Btw, when you said Windows 7 and 256MB, you just set yourself up. You just showed how much you DON'T know.

With that little RAM, your taxing your small hard drive, forcing it to page a lot, and wearing it out. I bet it's a Hitachi Deathstar too..

[hakemon]

@Robloxian182 Lol I'd shut up if I were you right now, seriously, I'm a technician who has gone through college, got my certifications, and worked for big companies like HP, IBM, Dell.. With your attitude problem which needs adjusting, you'll never get far.

Btw, Windows 7 on 256MB is very terrible. If you knew much you wouldn't have even bothered. I have a Mac Pro with 8x CPU cores and 32GB RAM. A Compaq CQ61 laptop with dual core AMD, and 4GB RAM, and Linux.. So what about it?

[Robloxian182]

@hakemon the thinkpad t30 i have has windows 7.....with a pentium 4M and 256mb and a 40gb HDD.......and yes im a kid but i know more about computers than YOU.
