    My gf's t60 motherboard hit the crapper and she does not want to buy a new computer. She wants to replace the mobo, but I noticed that the T60 also came in a 15 inch version (her's is 14 inch) and a 15.4 inch wide version. I am guessing that I have to look for the 14 inch version of the motherboard? If i am thinking right, the chassis on the 15 inch is bigger, so the 15 inch mobo will be bigger? I would just get the same exact one, but I thought, what the hell....might as well get the one with the dedicated graphics so she can play sims 3 (x1400 is supported by the game). Does that seem feasible?

    You could get a 14" model with the GPU. My folks have a 14" T60 with ATi graphics, don't remember what model though. I would advise not to get the 15" version. If it does fit, the chassis will not be able to cool the GPU effectively.
