This depends on the Type/Model you buy. The T41 comes in 3 main types: 2378DHU => Economy: 1.4 GHz,256MB, 1 Year Warranty 2379DJU => Value: 1.6 GHz,256MB, 3 Years Warranty 2379DKU => Performance: 1.6 GHz,512MB, 3 Years Warranty As everyone expects, the price rises 2378 < 2379. The letters (DJU ./. DKU) represent the configuration differences. So, calling a (second hand) Thinkpad just T41 is not enough, even if the hardware configuration matches more or less. ALWAYS ask for the Type/Model number and compare the conditions on the IBM website. IBM regards Warranty as a feature, like any memory extention, hard disk etc. --Orm
