Hi Jeff,
you may want to search the mobile@ archives, as there are *plenty* of postings
about this specific question, and other postings that should give some useful
information...
FWIW, i'm running a Thinkpad z60m with no probs at all...not 64 bit though.

What you are afraid to do is a clear indicator of the next thing you need to do.
I speak for myself, not my employer. Contents may be hot. Slippery when wet.
Reading disclaimers makes you go blind. Writing them is worse. You have been
Warned.
