    Is it a 32bit or 64bit Vista Ultimate included in T61p?

    I checked it for several times but did not find any clues that showed whether the Vista Ultimate option in T61p was a 64 or 32 one. Anybody knows? Thx!
    Btw, I am trying to buy a CTO version on lenovo's website.

    It's 32bit unless you specifically requested 64.

    sp00n, thanks!
    Do you know how the ultrabay works? How does it connect to the system? IDE or just USB? I am thinking about if it is neccessary to install a 7K200 HD and put the original HD into this ultrabay. Does it work well? If it is connected by IDE, is RAID 0 available?
    Sorry for so many questions, I really have no idea about all this laptop stuff...
    Thanks again!

    UltraBay connects to the laptop's UltraBay port located under the laptop.

    I would not recomend having a RAID 0 setup for a laptop. Your chances of losing data doubles and you're required to have the UltraBay connected to the laptop at all times; it defeats the purpose of having an ultraportable laptop.

    If you have the extra money to spend, you're better off buying a Solid State Hard Disk. I haven't kept up with the benchmarks of those drives so you may want to research about that technology yourself.
