WTB: T60p motherboard with ATI fireGL GPU

#1 Post by Wiking » Wed May 06, 2015 3:50 am

I have a T60 14.1 with failed motherboard and looking to replace it and if doing so, want to upgrade it with motherboard that has an ATI fireGL video card.
If you have it with fan and CPU (T7200 at least), I'm interested too.
Postage can be to Ukraine or USA ( less interested). Payment through PayPal.
Let me know if you have what I need because my T60 sitting on a shelf.
Thanks for looking
Lior

Sorry I didn't see this sooner, I was going to suggest upgrading with a T61 series board, there are many advantages.

I know about sata 2 advantage but there is a good chance to fall with failed Nvidia card there.

The Intel boards virtually never fail and I still have a couple brand new NOS nVidia boards with 2010 dated gpu chips, or if you use a regular production board you can always replace it if it does fail, it's not the end of the world if a board dies. The Intel X3100 has nice 3D support and some of the games from that era ran surprisingly well on it, and without the laptop getting overheated or burning up a lot of power.

Besides the SATA2 you would also get upto 8gb of ram instead of 3gb, faster cpu options, and even the very affordable T8100 runs neck and neck with the T7600 in real world testing and does it as much as 20 degrees cooler, and that's a low-end chip. If you wanted to go all-out you could get an X9000, or some members have modded these boards to run at 1066mhz FSB using quadcore cpu chips. Not sure I'd recommend that, but if you like to tinker the option is there.

Also, since you got a whole laptop instead of just a board (at a great price too), if you want to still fix your original laptop without spending a lot of money I have a T60 board with ATI X1400 graphics that I can offer you for $30.
