I've been using an IBM Thinkpad T22 (P3 900MHz) laptop for quite some time
and I want to upgrade. I am looking for some expert advice on what to
upgrade to in the Thinkpad T-Series.
Two main considerations:
1. Core Duo 32-bit (T60) or Core 2 Duo 64-bit (T61)? I've only used i386,
should I think about amd64?
2. I would like graphics hardware acceleration. I know I need to stay away
from nVidia. The T60 comes with ATI Radeon and the T61 is the integrated
Intel 965GM.
Is there anything else I need to be concerned with regarding OpenBSD on the
T-Series?
This is probably obvious and it doesn't address your "main
considerations," but wifi card support may be an issue. I have an
atheros card in my T400 that is not yet supported (although, there has
been some chatter on this list about someone working on it).
I'm not too concerned about wifi as this thing will mostly be plugged
into a docking station. If I have to, I'll just stick a ral or ath
pccard in it.
