I got lucky, because my T23 came with 512MB RAM leaving the other slot
open for expansion. I don't think I'll upgrade it though as the prices
are steep. Kingston Value 512MB costs around $150 (at least in Poland).
That's 1/8th of a price of a brand new R61 I mentioned!

We had a discussion here some time ago about maximum PATA disk size for
some older ThinkPad. I mentioned that I plan to buy such a disk as a
future replacement for my T23. Since then I monitor the prices, and they
haven't fallen a bit. What has fallen is their availability.
