Guys,

Ive recently received my T61, 7665-B68

Originally shipped with a T7100 CPU (1.8x2 (800) (2mb)) and 2GB RAM (2x1)

I have replaced the CPU with a T7700 CPU (2.4x2 (800) (4mb)), added 1GB Turbo Memory and kept the shipped ram.

The problem is i dont find the machine as nippy as i thought i would, cant really feel much difference between the T7100 and T7700.

I have used the Lenovo Vista Business build and also made a custom Vista Ultimate build with all the recent drivers inc Turbo Memory.

I use the Laptop for web browsing, downloading, music, movies, office. I never play games.

Would i be better returning the machine to factory spec and selling off the CPU and Turbo Memory and pocketing the cash? Or sticking with it?

Opinions please. Ta.
