I own x60 tablet and will soon have 100 Mb internet. At present, my notebook has 54 Mb card. Is it possible to replace wifi card from higher model with 100 Mb speed for my laptop? Will it be working properly or will I need to do some tweaks?

If you don't want to apply modded BIOS, Lenovo (Atheros-chipped) abgn card FRU 42T0825 or 42T0827 is your best bet. You'll get a solid 300Mbps link with it.

a 300 mbps wifi connection is only going to deliver 150~200 mbps of real throughput in best case scenario, like being in the same room with the router.
if you want to take full advantage of a 100mbps internet, a 300mbps wifi is the lowest speed acceptable.
