    I was reading a review on the Z61t, http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=73085&highlight=Z61t and in there, it showed a benchmark for the Z61t with a Geforce Nvidia 6600 256 MB PCI Express Card.

    However, when I try to customize the laptop on the lenovo site. I don't get an option to change the GPU.

    What's going on? Can the Z61t have a more advanced graphics card?

    Its an error on the editors part, a 6600 will not score a measly 1332 in 3DMark05, it is around 2800-3100.

    Good to know, but Lenovo's website shows that a Z61t can't even have a 6600.

    ...

    Can It?
