The X60 most certainly contains a chipset which severely limits the

Intel explains it somewhere on their web presence. A quick & lazy web

Stefan,

That's interesting.Thanks for the pointer. I wondered if there's
anyone working on a patch for this.

I've seen this problem before, just like Vincent, I thought it's only
me. Didn't really bother me, until I got a new X60s with 4GB RAM.

Thanks,
Jeff.
