Talk about weird problems that can occur:
I never knew there could be compatibility issues with cables …
Earlier this year I bought a ThinkPad R60. Upgraded to one and a half Gibibyte of RAM I was pretty sure it at least should be able to run Vista. The built-in Intel GMA 945 graphics chip isn't impressive but at least it's able to meet Vista's requirements for the Aero user interface.
So far my impressions are mixed and for people willing to upgrade it may be safer to wait for Service Pack 1 to be released (somewhen in first quarter 2008).
