Mark, Have you tried starting at: >http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=HOME-LENOVO using the actual Type-Model and then requesting the detailed specs? Depending on the model, there is quite a bit of detail available. And, then there is also the 'Parts Information' doc that actually shows part/FRU numbers, etc. Try starting with: >http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/product.do?subcategoryind=0&familyind=207198&brandind=10&doccategoryind=0&modelind=224087&doctypeind=2&validate=true&partnumberind=0&sitestyle=lenovo&template=%2Fproductpage%2Flandingpages%2FproductPageLandingPage.vm&operatingsystemind=50685&machineind=207225 [sorry for the long URL. But it should avoid wrappeing...] Maybe these two links will save you some time. Carl
