non b? yes ,the 4150(non b model),the laptop generally feels more responsive than the thinkpad 600e p111(cache enabled),to my surprise 8O though the 600 is more robust and versatile with the dock options. as you know the hp4150b sereis are pentium 3s but the non bs came with 300,366 and 400 p11 cpu...

I got rid of the memory stability problem by disabling the 32M PC66 memeory that is built in the motherboard. I found out that byte 2B of CMOS controls the SDRAM banks. Bit b0 disables internal 32M memory. By changing the content from 80 -> 81 the 32M is disabled. Now I have two 128 Sodimms working...

i used arctic silver 3 with the stock 600e heatsink + 810mghz and it only handles 15mins max on stress tests,conversely 600x heatsinks dont seem to fare any better either.700mghz max is the most any 600 sereis heatsink can cope during extended 60 min + stress tests. i am pondering on filing down the...

To be honest, I don't see real need of 600E bios modding for PIII any more. There is a working solution for 127 error and L2 initializatin in Windows and Linux.There is a working solution to SpeedStep. The only thing that has not been solved is that after suspend/resume (Fn-F4) you have to set L2 o...
