Hi,

It is a "Mobile Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 - M CPU 1.80 Ghz" and it does have the pae flag in
the flags list.

The page you point to is in maintenance. You can see my model here:
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Intel_Mobile_Pentium_4-M#Available_Types_and_ThinkPads_featuring_them

It's the one with an ATI Mobility 7500 GPU. (and there are two T30 distinct types which
should both have the same cpu flags I'd suppose).

A thought: this "thinkwiki" should be a better source of information than the Lenovo
website as the old IBM models where not yet belonging to Lenovo company ?

BTW I am happy to be aware about the fake-PAE ppa, that might be convenient at some times
(installing it into a persistant USB bootable stick, for instance, if USB Creator still
works with Saucy?)

I'll try to install from CD first, then will see how it goes when usb creator is at work.

Regards,
Mélodie
