I see absolutely no reason why you wouldn't be able to.

It will work. There may be a couple of driver updates needed. The new Lenovo System Update will take care of those --> http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site. ... PDATE.html

Specifically, the R60 used a Broadcom NIC, the T60 had an Intel NIC.

Good luck.

Sorry I wasn't clear, I meant the NIC on the motherboard. The R60's use Broadcom 10/100/1000mb/s, the T60's use Intel 10/100/1000mb/s.
