EDIT: Turns out the Middleton’s BIOS is not needed to use 8 GB of RAM. Whoops!
Hello everyone! Today we're back with another ThinkPad video, this time I'm using the Middleton's BIOS to unlock my FrankenPad T601 - and upgrade it to be much more powerful! Middleton's BIOS is a special patched BIOS that unlocks some additional features in older ThinkPads, and in this video you can see how to install it on your ThinkPad! This works on the following models:
T61/T61p
X61/X61s/X61 Tablet
R61/R61i/R61e
X300
