| 187137 | 2003-10-28 02:41:00 | Hi, I have an IBM Thinkpad with a 333 Celeron chip, 4.8G hard drive running Windows 98. I can't afford to buy a new PC or laptop, so what upgrade options do I have? Particularly for storage - 4.8G just isn't enough now! - thanks |

U could try the web too, putting ur model number which is under the laptop - mine is 2662-31U S/N: XXXXXXXX something like that last ignore the last part, its the serial number. Get a latest bios flash and or embedded controller while u at it, it may allow larger HDD sizes | nomad (3693) | ||
