I think I'm about to buy T61. I would like to know about NVIDIA® Quadro® NVS 140M, PCI Express x16, 128MB memory.

Is it better than Ati X1400 and ATI Mobility FireGL V5200?

Please tell me!

most certainly better. OTherwise why bother put it on the P version? One can't really say how much better because it's probably on par in most cases but maybe a tad better in a few. Still tho, it's a newer chip so better power management and other features should also be in play there.

I have read it before, and it's the reason why I posted this topic. According to the website.

NVIDIA® Quadro® NVS 140M is the worst card( among 3)!

I'm sorry! I was not specific. I mean in playing game. I know T61p is very much better, but its price is quite expensive now! Thanks for your answer, I have tried to read but still have not gotten the correct one!

I own 140M. I don't know what kind of information you are looking for, but I get 1450 in 3Dmark06, 3471 in 3DMark05. The only game I played, Quake 3 Arena, I play with setting settings as high as possible and I get max FPS (99 in this game).

Have played 1080p videos on my T61 w. 140M with good results.

I don't have much more information then that sorry. I have heard of a fellow that played Bioshock with around 30 frames per second.

I've found 163.44 nVidia drivers to be the best performing with this card in all applications I have been able to test it with.

note also 140M is direct X 10 card, the others you mentioned are not.
