Upgrading my x60t ...

I know it's kind of crazy that after using my Lenovo x60t for less than a week, I already started to find ways to upgrade it, but hell what can I say. I am a tech nut case.

Actually no. The 1Gb memory that you see below is just not sufficient for any serious development work on the machine. In fact I cannot even start a 512Mb XP on VMWare properly. Memory is totally running out, with tons of disk swapping. Something has to be done!

So I ordered a 1Gb memory last night. US$60, with US$15 mail in rebate. It should be here 7 days later. Waiting. Until then, I can I can use Eclipse to write some Java code.



I want also interest in getting Windows XP on my machine as I was supsecting that Windows Vista sucked out too much memory (ironically, CPU consumption was not that high), and that the 5400 rpm harddisk maybe a tag slow. So I was thinking of swapping out the 120Gb HD internally and put in my 80Gb harddisk, until I realized that ....


.... the internal harddisk is a SATA harddisk instead of a EIDE one! So if I really need to swap harddisk, I need to BUY a new SATA harddisk.. Errr.. nope. not so soon. I don't want too much shopping for such a short period of time.
