Thinkpads Forum

My T60 died last week and I'm looking at replacing it with another T60. There's two I'm looking at, comparably priced and optioned except that one has the Intel network adapter and the other has an IBM network adapter. Is there any real difference between these two? My original machine had the Intel card (it was a 2623-D6U).

The two machines I'm looking at are a 2007-72U and a 2007-66U. The only other major difference between these is that one has the 15" screen rather than the 14".

They both originally came with Intel 802.11abg adapters, probably Intel Pro Wireless 3945abg adapters. If one of them has something different now it was swapped out or replaced. What is the FRU# on the new part?

thanks - I checked the original specs and you're correct. I don't know the FRU number because these machines are being sold through IBM as "certified used" equipment - presumably, the network card is either a typo on their ad, or IBM is refurbishing them with their own network cards. I'm inclined to go with the 14 inch model - which has the Intel card - just because I would have a spare display panel if it should happen to go bad.
