Hello Lewis:

Leider nicht...  I have some major tasks that conflict
with the Warpstock schedule this year.  Also, I have a
T30 but was hoping that the card that worked in the T23
would do so in the T30.

I agree with most of what you say here.  However, my K6-III
at 400MHz on an FIC PA2013 is faster than my T30.  I'm
guessing that this is because of the cpu that many have
told me is a poorly designed model.  

I'm currently using a T30 with a 1.8GHz P4M. I had a chat with Knut some time back about this, and he told me that the Centrino chips are just more efficient than the P4M's. That said, with a gig of RAM in my T30, it's pretty snappy.

Unfortunately, I have one of the T30s with a defective
memory slot.  

I must send it in for depot repair and
can't be without it.  Right now I have a 512MB DIMM
installed.  It rarely comes anywhere close to swapping.
So, I'm not sure how much better it will be with a GB
of RAM.  

By the way, I have the same processor.  It's
quick enough with most tasks but underpowered for VPC.

Most of my comparisons are based on using PMView and
WP51DOS, two programs that I consider pretty nimble.

Yes, the high res LCD's are truly nice. However, for the T30, these are much more costly to replace than for the T4x series. I just did one for a T30, and a refurb LCD cost $495 from my supplier (as compared to the SXGA+ for the T42, which was $325).

It's crazy, isn't it?  It's like the relative cost of
old RAM.  I'm looking at the possibility of moving up
to a T40 once their used and refurbished prices come
down.  Right now, I'm waiting for my Intel SE7501WV2-
SCSI320 board to arrive while I try to find a pair of
cpus and at least 1GB of memory that I can afford.
It should allow me to get some work done, at least
when I'm at home.
