BillyMaysFan59: My previous laptop, just for the heck of it:
BRAND: IBM/Lenovo
MODEL: ThinkPad T60p
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo (Merom) 2.0, 2.16 or 2.33 GHz CPU (copied from ThinkWiki, not exactly sure how fast the CPU was)
RAM: 1GB
GPU: ATI Mobility FireGL V5200 (256 MB VRAM) (I think that's the model it had)
HDD: WD Black 750GB Notebook Hard Drive (previously a 100?GB HDD)
DISPLAY: 15.0'' IPS (1400x1050 resolution)
OS: Debian 8.1 "Jessie" (previously Debian 6 "Squeeze" dual-booted with MS Windows XP OEM on the old HDD)
I'd be lying to you if I even attempted to connect problem A to insufficiency of component B. BRAND: IBM/Lenovo
MODEL: ThinkPad T60p
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo (Merom) 2.0, 2.16 or 2.33 GHz CPU (copied from ThinkWiki, not exactly sure how fast the CPU was)
RAM: 1GB
GPU: ATI Mobility FireGL V5200 (256 MB VRAM) (I think that's the model it had)
HDD: WD Black 750GB Notebook Hard Drive (previously a 100?GB HDD)
DISPLAY: 15.0'' IPS (1400x1050 resolution)
OS: Debian 8.1 "Jessie" (previously Debian 6 "Squeeze" dual-booted with MS Windows XP OEM on the old HDD)
My tech knowledge goes as far as the ability to usually figure out how to fix something when it breaks. That's it.
Instead, I'll just hope that the frigging thing works properly for you now, since you sound pretty enthusiastic to try it.
