I present the ThinkPad T43, the last model made by IBM before Lenovo took ownership of the brand in 2005.

 

 

 

Here are the mainboard and memory specs too for anyone who wants to take a trip down slow memory lane.

 

 

Intel Pentium M Processor 760 2M Cache 2.00A GHz 533 MHz FSB Product Specifications

ARK.INTEL.COM

---

quick reference guide including specifications, features, pricing, compatibility, design documentation, ordering codes, spec codes and...

 

TDP listed as 27 watts according to Intel.

Definitely a good trip down memory lane. Thanks for the sub, that's a real classic.

 

I used to buy/use Lenovo/IBM laptops exclusively bc I loved them so much. And even used my T61p as my primary laptop until 2015.  loved the track point in the middle of the keyboard. I always wonder why more manufactures don't integrate them in their laptops. Seems like a no brainer, much easier to use than a touchpad. 

 

 

 

Gotta watch out for that freezer burn when you are benching with a t61p. LOL

Contribution for the slow list, my small ASUS Zenbook laptop that was like $600 in 2014 or 2015.

 

 

EDIT: Oh nice, I had a T43, T60, T61, T410, T430 at one job back in the day. They really started dropping off with the T410 in my opinion though. I think we ended up RMA-ing every single one (hundreds) over their 3 year warranty for failed CPU fans and resulting "CPU fan error". And the T430 touchpad was just wrong and they switched to the chiclet keyboard vs the fantastic Thinkpad keyboards the previous models had. We also started having to do tons of HDD replacements even when people dropped them maybe a few inches (witnessed first hand). Made me say what happened to when these were tough?

We had so many fan kits for some of those Lenovo's in a previous job I had. Boxes and boxes, out lasted the lifetime / lifecycle of the laptops. I had found the replacement kits years after all the Lenovos were gone stashed in a storage area, ha.

Nice! I've been around ThinkPads since the mid-2000s because a friend had a T42 and a T43p. I eventually got a ThinkPad myself in 2009. It was a T500 that I upgraded from a Core 2 Duo P8400 to a T9900. I think the fastest CPU that came with the T500 was the T9800, but the BIOS supported the entire Penryn family. I had that laptop until last year when I finally sold it after it had been collecting dust for a long time. It had the Radeon switchable graphics and I maxed it out with 8GB RAM and installed a 500GB hard drive. The whole package fetched over $400 because it was in near mint condition and I had all of the original packaging.

 

I still have a ThinkPad W520 that I bought in 2012 and have also extensively upgraded and used daily until 2020 when I bought the Eluktronics Ryzen 7 laptop that I submitted for the leaderboard. The W520 is now an HTPC but I almost never turn on my TV and home theater in the family room anymore. Like the T500, I upgraded to the fastest CPU for the platform that I could get my hands on, which for the W520 was going from an i7-2720QM to an i7-2860QM.

 

The T43 was a used laptop that I picked up for my parents back around 2010 or so. It hasn't been used since around 2013. They then got a 3rd-gen i5 laptop before now using a Dell SFF PC with an i5-6600.

 

The T61p in the freezer looks about right to me! I remember it was notorious for running hot because of the Quadro FX 570M. I chose between the T61p used and the T500, but ended up with a better deal on a new T500. They had the same body, so one of the things I did later was replace the T500 keyboard with one from a T61. Lenovo used a perforated backplate on the T500 keyboard presumably to save weight, but the T61 keyboard had a solid backplate that didn't flex as much. When Lenovo switched to the chiclet keyboards for the T/Wx30 series, I was done with them.

 

I miss the TrackPoint as well. I always thought it was far better than the touchpads from the 2000s and early-2010s because the nub was easier to use left-handed while I could use a wireless mouse right-handed depending on which hand was free when I was eating. I will say that multi-touch touchpads in modern laptops mostly took care of the issues I had with older touchpads though.

I had a few modified T61's / T61p's as well. Mostly consisted of faster RAM, top end processor and SSD. I would say SSD was the biggest jump in performance, but we all already knew that. 

 

I got into thinkpads around the same time you did and the reason I was able to afford one (I was only in my teens at that point) was because my uncle worked for IBM at the time so I was able to build a CTO system around the hardware I wanted, which made the thrill of getting it that much better. 

 

Soon upgraded to a T9300 processor. This I believe runs at 2.6GHz stock, but there is a trick from within the throttlestop settings that allows you to run dual IDA mode, which  was a very early form of turbo that Intel had implemented in this family of chips. So that would get both cores to 2.7Ghz, only a mild overclock but it's still something. 

 

Then I came across the X9000 core 2 extreme chip. Knew I had to get one and use throttlestop to try to OC. I know, you generally don't get very far with overclocking these laptops, but this time around it was pretty decent at least for pure clock speed. Good enough for 3rd place in frequency rating at HWBOT.

...for your consideration 

 

4960X ES -- multi core 3724.1 -- single core 504.8 --- 4.84 Ghz
 

An oldie engineering sample that survived sub-zero and is still in use, no degradation whatsoever 8+ years later (do they still make them like they used to ?). I also love the Asus X79-E WS board...it was recently upgraded to 64GB / DDR3 / 2400 / CL9, and WD Blue 1TB SSDs - everything feels very 'crisp' and it's not a bad retro-gamer at all at 1080p  

 

[Storm-Chaser]

Not to shabby! You are close if not ahead of my 5700mhz 9600Kf in multi core. I think that's a pretty formidable processor, always wanted one, to bad I can't run it in my z820 workstation (also LGA 2011). But I do have a 1680 v2 xeon ready to go. And for that I can use throttle stop to OC. 

 

Browsing the forum from my phone right now but I will upload your result in the morning at some point. 

[schuck6566]

lol, sitting here going through all my old hardware looking for something that's not dual core or HT and kicking myself in the ass for stripping my P4 1.5 GHz Willamette with the awesome RDRAM (I still have the ram if anyone needs it...) Ck'n a Compaq right now with 2c2t waiting on updates before I run the test.

The things we do to get back to the top of the bottom....

Edit: Dang! was faster than I remembered! Here's the Compaq!

Edited January 13, 2022 by schuck6566
added Compaq

[Sir Beregond]

Yeah my only other slow computer still in the house is a cheap HP laptop from like 2006 or 2007, but its been long dead, missing power cord, and dead HDD with a non-standard SATA connection that doesn't work with regular SATA power/data cables. I want to say it was an AMD Turion and maybe an Nvidia 7150 integrated graphics?

 

Outside of that, don't have anything running that is older than 2014. Do have all the parts still to my X58 system, might also have some LGA1156 stuff too, can't remember if I got rid of that or not. I definitely don't have my E8500 system anymore.

Did he just say up to 8 CPUs per mainboard? Said something about octal channel memory as well. I'm assuming that's per CPU. Does that mean you could potentially have up to 64 memory channels on a single board? That would definitely break the aida64 cache and memory benchmark (and ALL your benching competition), lol.

[pio]

Well, I'm out for the time being on the slow board unless I ran my Socket 939 dual core.  Won't get lowest score with that.  The PSU's I bought for my older rigs have 24pin ATX plugs, I need 20pin.  The only PSU I have in the house that's 20+4pin that would work is an Antec VP450 of questionable condition, and it lacks the appropriate 5v amperage anyway.  Going to have to order 24pin to 20pin cables to make these work.  Sorry guys, I tried.

EDIT:  Placed an order for a couple, should be here next week.  Probably too late to play with everyone but alas, I'll be able to run a bench on the Athlon 1100 once those arrive.

3950x all stock 543.4 single and 10916.1 multi, 11459.5 total.
I finished this system yesterday, installed windows and F@H and that's about it.
Maybe I'll find some time to mess with it this weekend to see what I can improve.
 

Spoiler

 

[edit before posting ]

Could not resists and did some minor cleaning:

Still stock in bios, 560.5 single 11179.0 multi, 11739.5. A difference of 280 points for 5 minutes of work..

[damric]

I installed the 2700x today in my main rig. That thing already runs hot at stock, even under water. I'll fine tune it over the next few days and see what it can do. It did so far work with xmp timings of 3600/16. I'll see if it can do better though. That last 1600AF had a hell of a good IMC.

...8 Xeon CPUs per server board do exist already in the previous gens, but yeah - you better get a bigger boat chiller.

 

What I find also interesting is the '4-tile' per IHS arrangement - it hints what the upcoming overclockable HEDT Prosumer versions could have (think successor to 10980XE)...between 14 and 16 cores per tile (not to say chiplet ) and 2 tiles. Add in at least 8 Channel DDR5 for the upcoming Prosumer HEDT...and it will be fireworks, especially as AMD isn't sitting still either.

...dug this up from my schooldays ...black-and-white to hide the decades-old caked on grime...still works, though, just need to find the Win 2000 Pro HDD. That custom Zalman Copper Flower cooler was so big it might even cool a Threadripper 3990X  ...could mount dual GentleTyphoon 3K rpm on top of it or not

I actually think I have a win 2000 server key if you need it. I'll double check later.

Thanks, but I know I got the hard drive somewhere in storage downstairs...it's just not the only stored hard-drive there so I'll have to do some rudimentary boot-ups.

Tonight again will be the coldest night of the winter (by far). My coolant is only good to -25*F so I'm pushing my luck a bit but I have no doubts (in theory) that I should be able to break a personal best or two, and also hopefully up my single core speed here a bit more....

This should fit the bill, don't you think?

 

[SamsTechStuff]

Fwiw, I run this rig stock always, and dont typically like to go to 1.45v on Ryzen chips even for the 3 minutes I used to close tasks and run this benchmark. Not sure I want to raise the vcore higher.

 

I would need to make it through the bench at 4.6ghz all core or at least half of them at 4.6ghz and half at 4.5ghz in order to beat those dual Xeons...but I'm close, we'll see

 

But for now here is my 4.5GHz 3900xt run, 558/9199.5.
