    Just did a clean install of xp, installed the 169.04 drivers. And i must say, without any overclocking this is a pretty nice score. Pic below.

    I just posted this incase any1 was thinking about choosing a t61p and do some light gaming.

    Yes I use styles xp to make my pc look like a Mac, I know i'm a loser.

    Ofcourse this is a Quadro, but oh well, THINKPAD FOR LIFE!!!

    As far as i know styles xp only works for windows xp not vista. You can check their main website and try out the trial if u have xp. Full version cost money but other ways obtainable ;)

    The graphics performance on the 14" T61p is only about 2/3 of that on the 15" T61p, mainly because it only has half the VRam bandwidth. I like the lighter weight of my 14" T61p, but sometime I wish its video card could be a bit more powerful. :p
