T410 Graphics
Posted: Mon Sep 06, 2010 7:13 am
Hi, all!
Long time lurker.. first time registerer.
You guys have been invaluable to be since my early days of administering the R51 series (they were older at the time).
Anyhow:
I went to a show and actually won a T410 a couple of months back - a nice package, notable step up from the T43/T60s that have been the ones I've used recently. Sadly, the laptop has only Intel integrated graphics.
(My machine is a 2518-C2U, incidentally).
I'm pretty sure that I know the answer to this - but is there any avenue that I might be able to try with Lenovo to get the NVS 3100M discreet graphics? I've not had the unit open, but I've had to take apart many a Thinkpad over the past 5 years due to the various tendencies of the platforms... ... so that wouldn't be a stumbling block.
Thanks a lot for the time - sorry my first post is a beg.
Dave
