    Probably not--that's an incredibly powerful card. The m90 that it's slotted to go in is a 17" laptop, and notebooks that size can more easily handle the heat and power requirements. The largest Thinkpad is 15.4". The FireGL v5200 is not a bad workstation card by any means.

    The 3500M is supposed to be similar to the 7950GTX, so there's absolutely no chance of it going into anything smaller than a 17" such as the M90.

    I was just curious to see what the connection between Lenovo and the FX 3500M is...

    Sorry, you don't have any hope here, try some of the other sections and choose a 17" notebook at least :D
