X300 is soldered in the T43 motherboard, impossible to just replace it with X1300.

As Gunston noted, it is pretty much impossible to replace the soldered-in GPUs on the T4X Series Thinkpads. Especially with a X1300 as I imagine the board interface has been changed as well not to mention the controller/driver pairing that the ATI drivers are expecting.

You might be better off just getting a Dock and putting a graphics card in there if you want. :)
