Just bought 4gb of ram and a t9500 for my old beast and it only cost me 17 bucks for both. I dont use this unit that often but it would be nice to have one that I con mount to the dash in my vehicle and use for ODBII info and whatnot. Thanks man! I did not know if this had a soldered CPU or not and now I have my answer.
I recently did the same thing, but installed a T7800 processor which runs at 2.60 GHz. I also installed an SSD and Middleton's BIOS which has removes the whitelist so you can install a faster WIFI card (currently I have an AC-7260), and the BIOS removes the SATA restriction to allow for SATA II speeds.
This laptop only takes core 2 duo CPUs, not an i3. The fastest chips that will work in it (unless you're willing to extensively mod it) are the T9xxx series (C2D T9300, T9500 etc.) I think the T9300 is the highest end chip that makes sense for this laptop, since faster models are very expensive still.

Thanks for this instruction, worked like a charme ! My T61 is now running smoothly with a T9300 !
Amazing

Hey mate. I have a t61. Just installed 2gb ram, 1tb SSD and a t7800. What's all this bios hack ? How do I do that mate? 😊
With Middleton's BIOS T61 support Core 2 Duo X9000 plus 2x 4gb ddr2/800 ram!
What is the highest processor it supports
Fast forward 10 minutes to get to the part where he opens the laptop and starts working on it. Otherwise good video.
Can we upgrade with i3 or can you suggest a good procccer

Oh men i want to put i3 on my R61 thinkpad. got the same question..
@@rlcyphr8529 Would it be possible to also upgrade the graphics card? If so, what types would be compatible?
@@EwanA The GPU is soldered on in this laptop, it can't be upgraded unfortunately.
Esse PC aceita processador i5 ?
No, the socket is too old. For an i5, you will need an i5 era laptop.
