    I bought a IBM t43 HH6
    PM 760 2.0GHZ,
    15.1"SXGA+IPS
    1G RAM
    80g hd
    dvd-rw
    802.11b/g
    64M ATI X300
    6cell batter
    I think GPU is not very good, :(

    in the future, may it be updated to x800 by myself?

    No, it cannot.

    But other than the less-than-stellar GPU, this is a kickass computer. Congratulations on your buy and have fun with it!

    Congratulation on your buy. You will not be disappointed. I almost have the same configuration. I decided for the Intel 2915 A/B/G wireless card and the CD-RW instead of the DVD-RW. Bought this laptop about two month ago and up to now I'm very satisfied.

    Is the hard drive and both memory slots accessible/user-upgradeable in the t43?

    RAM - yes. HD - it is accessible, but I think that there is some wicked SATA-PATA bridge there, so it may not accept all hard drives (or require some sort of patch).
