Looking to buy an atheros a/b/g/n pci express card (Lenovo version) if my X61T ( model 7767-59U) will support it. i.e. The machine is wireless N ready with the third antenna installed?

Thanks,

David

All X61t, X61, T61 have third antenna installed and wireless N ready.

my X61 doesn't have an N antenna whatsoever.   where did you hear/read this info?

the only ones i've seen in person with N antennas preinstalled were CTO models, not preconfigured models.

Oh, I see. My model is CTO and it comes with the third antenna installed despite the wireless card comes with it is an Intel 3945ABG. I generalized that it must be the case for all.
Sorry for the confusion,

Based on this page, the 3rd antenna is installed. I guess, I have open it up to see if it is there.

you can pull your keyboard to check.   if it's there, the third antenna will be tucked underneath the card and insulated either with a rubber tube or a plastic bag.

looking at the LCD breakdown you've linked, my guess is that it's there.
