x200: PCIe mini slot, SSD instead of Intel Turbo Memory?

#1 Post by Synthetickiller » Fri Dec 25, 2009 12:36 pm

Is it correct to assume that all thinkpads have the PCIe mini slot and that I could drop in a mini PCIe SSD in its place?
Thinkpad: x200 p8600 2.4ghz (probably won't OC) / 2x2gig ddr3 1066 / HDD = ? / WIN 7 (adding OSX & Ubuntu later)

Desktop: MSI K9A2 Plat / PII 945 @ 3.75ghz / G. Skill 2x2gig ddr2 1000 / 120gb ocz agility / gtx260 core 216 / IBM trackpoint keyboard :D
