The easy way is to get a T61 and transplant your parts to the non Nvidia based T61.

^^ Thanks

^ Easier for me to replace motherboard in T61p, since it is in good condition.

The boards occasionally pop up for cheap ($30-70) but often they are more expensive than buying a whole new t61p, and pulling the board and any other good parts from that.
