I'm pretty sure mine can only go to 8 + 32 MB. That's a vanilla 560, not an E or X. > and does somebody know a bios update how-to for the Thinkpad to > point at me ? Go to www.pc.ibm.com and navigate down to the Thinkpad 560 page. Choose "Downloadable Files" from the sidebar, and select type = BIOS. There are good instructions on the web page, but basically, you download a DOS executable from the IBM site, and run it on a DOS or Windows machine (doesn't have to be your 560). When you run the program, it prompts you to insert a diskette which it formats and writes. Then you boot your 560 with that diskette. > (who is a bit afraid of doing bios updates) Just make sure your ThinkPad is on AC power while doing the update. -- Eric C. Cooper e c c @ c m u . e d u
