laptops that meet the following requirements

Post by **liliwinnt6** » Tue May 22, 2018 3:40 pm

recently i bought a vintage Thinkpad T60 for running Windows 2000, it doesn't perform well because of lacking some drivers, and some drivers for Windows 2000 does not run perfectly
for example, the background music of beachhead 2000 is distorted in Windows 2000, i hope there could be a solution for that problem
now, i would like to ask, if there's any laptops that would meet the following requirements in the same time:
Pentium 4 microprocessors
Pentium 3 microprocessors (only tualatin cores, only as a last resort, choosing it would make me buy IDE SSDs)
SATA HDD (important, i would have modern SSDs for it)
DDR2 SDRAM memory
SATA CD/DVD-RW/ROM (important if this device supports quick removal or hot swap, otherwise optional)
nVIDIA or intel integrated display adapters (no ATi ones)
display resolution at 1024x768
all devices have suitable drivers for Windows 2000

damn, that means it could cause problems when using IDE SSDs on such models, does it?

Yes, but it's doable to use SATAs.

by the way, do you have any better versions of integrated audio devices for the Windows 2000 Thinkpad T60? sometimes sound of some old games are distorted and broken
and i wonder if external usb sound card would work

I am surprised Win2k doesn't properly work with your laptop, I use it on Dell D620 (core2duo, 4gb ram and gma945 videocard) and it works perfectly
