    I'm thinking about buying a T60, 14" so I would get an ATi X1300 (AFAIK X1400 is only in 15" thinkpad). But I have two questions:
    1.-Lenovo web page said X1300 has 64 MB RAM, but said anything about Hypermemroy
    So does that card have Hypermemory and take up to xxx MB from System RA or don't?

    2.-What about Linux support/drivers? I read something aboutdrivers problems

    Thanks

    Good question. Dell and others at least double that by pulling from the ram, but I haven't seen anything about that in any of lenovo's literature. Some might prefer that it doesn't have hypermemory.

    The x1400 is offered on the 14" T60 and R60 as well at least here in the US. The x1300 does support hypermemory. So it would be 128MB with hypermemory. Generally, Nvidia cards offer better Linux support. There are a couple high end Linux workstations so there has to me some ATI support available.

    Get the x1400. It's not much more, the linux drivers are equiv (fglrx), and it's much more powerful.

    I didn't found X1400 in 14" T60 here in Spain (only in 15") but I will look for it
    I'm not interested in T60p linux worlstions... are too expensive!!

    I only meant that there are Linux drivers available.
