    I know I made a board really similar to this earlier today, and yeah, I'm making another. It's the last one, promise. :p
    I know the graphics card isn't exactly high end, but it should work for some light gaming, no?

    You should be able to run anything put out in the last year at low to medium settings with that card. You'll also be able to run older stuff like CSS or Half-Life 2 at maxed settings at acceptable framerates.

    The Quadro NVS 140M in the Thinkpad T61 resembles a Geforce Go 7600 in performance. The Go 7600 was a pretty powerful card that was able to handle almost anything, including a game like Supreme Commander at lower resolutions and settings.

    Awesome :)

    You guessed right - I did just get the T61. I was going for a 12 incher, but those were mad tiny and everything about them just sucked (esp. the price). So, I went for a 14". I looked at a friends and the size is definitely backpackable, and the thing can probably run Vista without freezing too much. Ty!

    Well the T61 is the only one out there that currently offers the Quadro NVS 140M ;)

    Enjoy your T61. Especially with your specs, it'll be an awesome system. Did you get Robson with it?

    Who's Robson?

    :D you're making me feel insecure now.

    Ohh, the 1mb turbo something. I tried, but it said I couldn't do both the robson and the WWAN. Dunno.
