Unfortunately, the processor/motherboard in the T450 use the SECC packaging for the PIII, wheræs the L733r uses the PIII Coppermine with FC-PGA packaging. Maybe, just maybe, if I hack up my old PIII-450, I can jam the new Coppermine into the old package. :) One more thing... The L733r doesn't technically have an APM BIOS. There are no APM settings in the BIOS setup. Instead, it supports ACPI, which I expect to work with the FreeBSD APM device driver for two reasons: 1) Linux APM used to work with this PC 2) I thought ACPI mobos were backwards-compatible with APM.
