Possible to replace intel 965 in t61 with nvidia, etc?

#1 Post by nsmith » Sat Oct 11, 2008 7:12 am

I am finding that the intel 965 gpu in my t61 does not like streaming video (netflix). Is it possible to replace the intel gpu with a nvidia/ati card?

Does anyone know of a driver that works with netflix? I have tried several drivers from intel and ibm, but they either will not install or work with netflix.

Thanks, Norris

Yes, by swapping the WHOLE motherboard to the nVIDIA based one. Hardly worth it compared to buying another T61 or newer model, IMO.

I thought that might be the case. Thanks, Norris
