Hi all,
I have an old Thinkpad T30, 256 MB DDR RAM with 1 40 GB hard disk (PATA)
that has been gathering dust since I switched to an X60s (2 GB DDR2 RAM,
recently upgraded to 160 GB SATA disk).
I want to make the T30 more useful, and want to add more RAM and hard disk
space.
Questions:
1. How much RAM can this machine take? It uses DDR modules, and the
official limit is 1 GB, but I have been told that 2 GB is possible?
2. What is the maximum size of hard disk that the machine can handle?
Someone told me 80 GB, but is that true? I'd rather throw in a 160 GB
Hitachi disk if it is supported.
Many thanks in advance!
Atul
