Re: [Thinkpad] 560z 128mb RAM Chip

I've endlessly tried to find a video utility that could somehow change
resolutions on any given screen size, for example changing a 640x480 resolution
to 800x600, or 800x600 to 1024x768 to no avail. Does anyone know of any video
utilities out there that one might try. I have come to understand that in the
real world, changing resolutions on specific screens is just not physically
possible despite what utility software you use.

Another observation that might apply to this series would be that it just
wouldn't be possible to simply attach a 1024x768 lcd to a laptop that has a
video card that won't support it and is only limited to a resolution of
800x600. With this in mind, if one happens to have both machines (one being the
x model), perhaps changing the lcd and video card might be advisable, but don't
quote me on that for the reasons that just maybe you might burn something out
(perhaps the inverter) rendering some or all the components of both units
inoperable. From experience on 760's, I've never had that happen when trying to
interchange components within the same series. It either works or doesn't work
and nothing really burns out. But the question being for the 560 series, I
would think that too would be the case, but again, be cautious when doing
interchanges, there's always a chance something is going to fry.
