One of the positive attributes about IBM laptops is that they are bringing 
out drivers for NT support on all their lines, including those that are 
almost 3 years old.  That's pretty amazing.  One of their models uses the 
same chipset you have and they issued a new NT specific driver for it (works 
quite well).  They cost more, but you get more -- provided your company pays 
the freight and not you.  :-)  I'm truly amazed at how IBM has begun to arise 
to recognize NT.  They even have a special NT support group with a 
"recreation team".  If you have a particular problem, they will recreate your 
exact hardware/software setup so they can duplicate and analyze your 
oblems.
