What methods exist for enhancing the performance of an IBM ThinkPad x40?
Upgrading to an SSD won't be very obvious in Windows XP. The biggest changes you'll notice will be the CPU overclocking (which I'm trying to understand) and the RAM upgrade.
I understand all opinions are against me for overclocking IBM ThinkPad x40, r51 and r60e, but I do it only for experiments. The only one who has done it before is the ThinkPad r51, and with active overclocking and a high CPU load using Prime95 it doesn’t get hot beyond 80 degrees. Even with the original BIOS fan controller, if I use TPFan control at maximum settings it stays under 70 degrees. There’s a new exclusive YouTube video about overclocking IBM ThinkPad x40 and two other models I own. No one has filmed it yet, so I might be the first and anyone searching for old ThinkPad overclocking will have a good chance to find my videos. I enjoy overclocking any computer I can. I’ve done it with Core i5-3470 non-K and an iGPU too. The GeForce GT 730 was pushed to its limits until artifacts appeared, after which I stress tested them and decided whether to keep the overclock or lower it.
