    Is the 9-cell the same form factor as the 6-cell?

    Also, is it worth it to upgrade to ATI X1300 over GMA 950? I read that the X1300 is really quite feeble as far as discrete graphics goes so is it an useless upgrade?

    The 9-cell sticks out the back some.

    That's the T60 WS, but it's the same on the 14.1" T60.

    I wouldn't get the upgrade unless you plan on gaming or something that needs the GPU. The integrated Intel cards offer better battery life and less heat.
