nVidia Quadro FX 570M

#1 Post by Fixed_Rider » Mon Oct 01, 2012 1:21 pm

Hello All,

I found a T61p for sale via a friend of a friend who heard I like ThinkPads.
It sounds like a nice machine but I wanted confirmation that the GPU is a good one.
It's a nVidia Quadro FX 570M 256mb and the productid is 6457-C34. The sticker on the bottom reads 08/09.
I wasn't sure if the nVidia issues were for a given time frame or limited to a certain graphics card.

Their asking price is $325, which I think is ok, what I am really after is the hi-res screen. I absolutely love my daughters T43p with the 1600x1200 resolution.

Thanks

The date is fine, but the screen is not a FlexView like the ones on T43p so you're likely to be disappointed in that respect...

Happy shopping.

Thanks ajkula66,

I was hoping it would be a suitable replacement for my T61 but get me closer to the screen on the T43p. :)

For that, my good man, you need to build or buy a FrankenPad...
