Did all that. :( Sadly, no luck. It says there is no drive in that location. I've tried all the locations. Oh well. Thanks. Did you find that pci port on the back of your 600x yet? :)

http://nucleus.seindal.dk/media/1/20041027-pa260006-thumb.jpg It looks kindof like that. Its basically a pci slot that some laptops have, that you can put laptop format pci cards in. Dont get it confused with the ram slots. It does look like them. :) Thinkpad 600x's have one on the bottom. I didnt ...

pogeman1000/at/gmail/dot/com. Thanks man. :) GFX = graphics card btw. How did you upgrade your graphics card in your 600e? In the 600x there is a dock on the bottom of the mainboard where you can put one, its not on the 600e though. :-\ You'll need a special graphics card for it too.

Thanks dude. I have the floppy drive that came with my 600e, and I've flashed my bios with it before, so it should work for flashing the firmware. Thanks for your help. Also, if you dont like your 600x, I'd be willing to made a trade, 600e for 600x. I'd pay shipping, and you get the p3 500. I just w...

ok here we go, firstly remove the rear jae50 pin ide adapter and solder pin no 47+49 together to trigger alternative polarity detection within the secondary channel of the host bus conteroller,this will have no effect on any drives that are allready compatable so you got nothing to lose but possibl...

Ok, I'm still getting the 108 error most of the time, and I think it has to do with the memory overheating. If I take out the cd drive and put a fan it there, blowing on the memory area, it has no issues. Ever. And the memory does get hot. So thats my theory on the 108 error. Another issue: I've had...

I just did the 108fsb mod and now my p3 500 runs at 540mhz. I disabled the onboard memory, but I havent tested it to see if it works at this speed yet. One problem I'm having is when I boot, 4 out of 5 times I get error "108" at post, and it just hangs. I saw that someone else was having this proble...

I am officially the biggest retard ever, sorry for the triple post, I guess it was on the 1st page, didnt think to look there. :oops: Hey, I found the edit button. :) Anyway, what do you think I can do with my 500mhz p3 with 600e mainboard? I have a dead 600x motherboard I'd donate to the cause if i...

I've upgraded my 600e to a 500mhz p3 that has no speedstep and I want to enable the l2 cache but Ive read this entire thread (well skimmed it) and I cant find the program anywhere. Can someone link me to the program and give me directions on how to do this? Thanks.
