    Yes. Turn over your X60, remove the two screws holding the memory cover and you will find the wireless card nearest the back of the computer in the memory compartment.

    I would note, however, that the Intel abgn wireless card uses 3 aerial connectors (black, white and grey wires) whereas the abg card only has the bloack and white wires. I don't know if/how the lack of the grey wire (presumably a third antenna) will impact on the card's performance.
