no upgrades other than the hard drive, it didn't come with one though. although this is just about the max config of this that you could've gotten in 2006 afaik.

this one? sure, it's a ThinkPad Z61m, TYPE 9450-D9U blah blah blah

Intel Core 2 Duo T7200, ATI Mobility Radeon X1400, 2GB DDR2, 500GB 7200RPM HDD (came with 120GB 5400RPM), 1680x1050 LCD, 9-cell battery (with about 60% capacity), and 0.3mp webcam

that was definitely more of an early 2006 thing, Windows Vista came out in late 06 for manufacturers, but I think it was definitely relevant at the time

the main change was that it came out in an era of faster computers lol

running Haiku on my T410 but yea I tried that, couldn't get school WiFi to work :\

i'd say it was more because the hardware requirements lol, if it came out in, say, 2008, I feel like people would've already had better computers and it would've been better received. that being said, it'll be fine on high end hardware as far back as 2004 I believe

just for context, i've been daily driving this thinkpad z61m with windows vista sp2 for the past week and it's actually been pretty damn good lol. sorry, i just don't like linux that much. though i might post haiku in the future :3 also it's dual booted with XP Pro SP3 :p

btw, don't sniff those plastic things around the hard drive in old thinkpads. they smell like cancer sticks and burning plastic.
