To all IBM R40 centrino users out there...
Do u guys experience a lagg in keyboard-mouse response when playing counterstrike??
I installed the IBM patch for slow keyboard response already but still no difference...
strangely the lagg only happens to CS....not warcraft...

Had try out the IBM Recordnow.
I would say it is very pretty to use.


You could try out using Nero loh.
Should be no problem cos the rest of the IBM Users verify that it could be use.

AC Adaptor is very hot!

Hey Guys,

The AC Adaptor of my R40 is too hot everytime I uses it, in fact, you can't even hold it for more than 1 second because of the heat.

Does anyone also experience this? Actually my friend who bought the same unit as mine also experiences this. Is this normal or should I report it to IBM Support?

What do you think?

To wait or not to wait...

Not a Thinkpad user yet, but soon to be one of a T40. (I did have one like 6 years ago, ah, it served me well, sniffle)

I'll be starting grad school in Jan next year and that's the excuse I'm using to get the T40

Anyway as you can imagine I can't wait ... so the question is, should I just get it now, or should I wait until December on the off chance price drops / new feature added ... ? Other brands coming out with newer models NOT a factor! Only Thinkpad for me!

Oh yes, any recommendations on where to get also appreciated. I'm going abroad, prefer proper retail (don't think I can buy from NUS anyway).

Fn F5 don't work?

Wondering if anyone encountered this problem?

When I press Fn + F5 to activate/de-activate the wireless on my T40, I get a pop-up saying "IBM Wireless adapters (802.11 or Bluetooth) are not installed on this system."

Fact is my wireless connection is working fine.

Help???

TIA

Went to XP system restore to undo the changes n the wireless functionality was back.

It happened to me after installing the IBM security module. And I don't wanna uninstall that.
