R40 Cpu Swap Question
R40 Cpu Swap Question
I noticed on thinkwiki that the R40 came with The Celeron-M, Pentium-M and Pentium 4 CPUs. Are these all interchangable with a Board that has a P-M 1.6 on it? Thanks

Re: R40 Cpu Swap Question
No.
A PM board will only work with a PM CPU, Banias 1.7 being the highest point.
Dothan-core PM CPUs do not work on R40 units.
The other boards (P4M/Celeron) can do either of these, but not PM.

Re: R40 Cpu Swap Question
Gotcha, do these also suffer the GPU/motherbaord issues like the T4x's do?

Nope, but they do just crap out randomly.

Re: R40 Cpu Swap Question
Thats good to know, any idea what causes that? Also, are the R40s supposed to be thinner/smaller/lighter than the T series? whats the difference?

Quite the opposite, actually. Thicker and heavier.Also, are the R40s supposed to be thinner/smaller/lighter than the T series? whats the difference?

Re: R40 Cpu Swap Question
Made by acer? the reason i ask is there is a guy who want to trade me 2 thinkpad T20s that are parts machines (one has a bad backlight, the other hangs at the IBM logo) for an R40 with a 1.6 P-M/512mb/40GB. Supposedly working and passes all diag tests. Good trade then?

Re: R40 Cpu Swap Question
Heck no.
R40 is way more usable machine in today's day and age than a T20...
If T20s are yours, go for it, but not the other way around...

Re: R40 Cpu Swap Question
Yep T20s are mine, the guy wants them for parts and wants to trade me an R40 complete unit running Debian for them.
