T61 New GPU soon?

[gotensan01]

I remember reading some forum posts before (not on AT) that indicated that Lenovo would soon release a T61 with an upgraded GPU. I'm not talking about the currently available Intel GMA X3100 or Nvidia Quadro NVS 140M.

I thought I read somewhere that it was going to be some ATI card, maybe an x1700? I cannot seem to find any websites that have this "rumor" information from before. Maybe it's because the web is flooded with actual specs of the current T61 -_-

They might put some kind of dedicated DirectX 10 GPU in when more come to market. I doubt they would go for the MR X1700 since it is a DirectX 9 card.

I was very surprised when i saw an nVidia in the current line. I always thought they were pro ATI. I am pretty eager to see what they will have.
