15" non-widescreen use the same motherboards as 14.1" non-widescreen, 15" models just need an extender attached.
As long as the motherboard is for a NON-widescreen model, any T60 or T60p motherboard will fit.

@ icuicy:
If you take a look at the
System service parts - ThinkPad T60, T60p (standard screen) you will see the "extender" mentioned by
RealBlackStuff; it's item #12 and is officially designated "Interposer card" by Lenovo. Grab the T60/p HMM (from
this forum!) and you'll be further enlightned!
Lot's of video's are available at e.g. Youtube; try Google for e.g. "T60 replace motherboard youtube" (NB: Note that some T60's are having the standard 4:3 screens, while some have widescreens).

Yes, you can upgrade your T60 with a T60p motherboard, may even have one if you're interested, or you can also upgrade to a T61 board with some minor mods and a few other parts which is one of the most popular upgrades on thinkpads.
In addition, the widescreens can also be upgraded with a T60p board, but in all cases if you have ATI graphics you're fine, if you have intel graphics you'll need to upgrade your fan aswell which any T60/t60p ATI fan will work, or you can use a T61p fan with minor modifications.
