    Does anybody actually know if the Quadro 570 card is still available for the Lenovo T61? Numerous current links show it as being available , and numerous current links show it as being unavailable. I have done the chat on-line thing and was told the 570 card was not available , and I have also been told over the phone that it was available. I have, also,also, been told over the phone that it was unavailable ,and that numerous customers cancelled orders after thier orders went thru the appropriation process and were contacted and told the card was no longer available. Lenovos online support has not been able to clear up this question for me and Lenovos phone support has not made things any clearer. Does anybody actually have the answer to this question or any suggestions on how I can get the answer?? 1st Link--No Quadro 570 Card Available, only the nvs140m http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/...0001B9:&smid=2432D88590C944B79D33FDA517A5C756 2nd Link Quadro 570 Card is avaialable http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/...rkflow:LoadRuntimeTree?sb=:00000025:00001945: ---After you select the WUXGA screen option the Quadro 570 card shows up in the shopping cart. Here is another link that shows it as being available http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/...rkflow:LoadRuntimeTree?sb=:00000025:00000311:

    Looks like it is only available if you choose the WUXGA screen - that is how it was when I ordered mine in Sept 2007. Wonder what happens if you select WUXGA, select 570, then go back and select WSXGA? Will the 570 disappear? Also I have read that configurable T61's are being phased out, but pre-configured models will be available until gone. Maybe all the 570's are in WUXGA frames.

    You don't have to choose WUXGA
    you just choose it first and then back to choose the WSXGA, the 570 "disappare", however, when you look at the summary review, you still have 570 with WSXGA

    I don't know what you focus on.....
    I have tried all the links....I really don't know where u get these link...they're confused
    Only one answer that I think is possible
    These links are only "links", lenovo canceled some coupons or some deals but didn't cut them from the web code, just hide it.
    So if you can find the link, you can still get to these pages, but I don't think they are still available, you can try :D

    If what you are saying is that the links are outdated, I think you might be right, but some lenovo sales reps are saying they are outdated, and one rep said that 3rd link I posted was still good.Even some links advertised on this website show the T61p(with the WUXGA screen & Quadro 570 GPU0) as options that are still available and other links show them as discontinued. This in conjunction with multiple answers from Lenovo has left me "ala Led zepplin dazed and confused" If you were to follow every Lenovo pop-up add on this site(and Im not suggesting that anybody should actually make the time for this) there are still some current links that show the WUXGA screen and Quadro 570 as being available.
