don't waste time doing a cpu upgrade..
it just is not worth the enhancement in speed and value over buying a much
newer thinkpad for the same investment in $$ and even less risk.. :-)

Subject: Processor upgrade on Thinkpad600...
> Hello,
>
> I have a Thinkpad 600 (model 2645-310) which is the one with a Pentium
> 233 MMX (not a Pentium II) and the 12.1" TFT LCD.

> I've got a 300 MHz Mobile Processor board in MMC-1 format and was
> willing to upgrade my P1-233 to this PII-300;
>
> Unfortunately, when the 300 MHz is plugged in place, the laptop doesn't
