I have a Thinkpad 600E with 6gb disk and 128mb memory. I understand that now Lenovo have taken over from IBM it is possible to upgraded the 600e beyond the previous 288mb max.

Could anyone confirm what the limit is, what is required and also what the LARGEST hdd is that it will take?

Thanks.Just curious where you heard this. Have you checked the Lenovo web site? I am not sure how this would or could be done.There's nothing obvious on Lenovo's site, and the most recent BIOS update for the 600E dates back to 2001. It seems unlikely that anything has changed.

That figure of 288MB is weird. Did the 600E come with 32MB ONBOARD + 256MB expansion capability?

You might want to check with some laptop memory sellers. If they don't do an upgrade module larger than 256MB, then you can be reasonably sure your info is incorrect.

You can download your original manual PLUS drivers and specs from Lenovo's support section.Thanks for your response.

Yes, the 600e came with 32mb on board.

I'm sure I came across it on the Lenovo site about six months ago, that they had a bios upgrade which allowed up to 2 x 256 expansion, but as you say, it doesn't SEEM to be there now.If that's the case, it was probably an upgrade that also turned out to melt your motherboard...
