The old four digit TYPE has been violated at the T60 family line -- my 1951
has a CORE MONO T1300 and no chance to be upgraded to a CORE DUO let alone
a CORE 2 DUO processor -- extremely low grade chipset and support, but
other 1951 are, in fact, CORE DUO and their System Board has a far better
chipset and feature set than this dog.  We saw this with the T43 versions
from Lenovo, but at least the TYPE codes (1XXX or 2XXX) were consistent
with Thinkpad trends.
