Hi I've been looking around at replacing my aging ThinkPad 600, but I am not sure if I can let it go.
My TP is only a 300Mhz and maxxed at 296MB it is no speed demon. It copes with XP without too much additional load on it and dual boots with Lubuntu. But you could never do anything heavy on it. Low CPU and low RAM ceiling are two bad factors. However, I cannot bring myself to part with it. For its age it is quite small and light and quite thin. I have a Toshiba Satellite sitting here too around the same age and it is a brick, very heavy and over 2 inches thick. I've had plenty of computers over the years and besides my Macs I have never gotten so attached to one as I have this one. I am now looking around at getting a 600X just to give me a it more processing power and a higher maximum RAM but the same form factor. It is bizarre and if I do ever part with it, it shall be missed.
