Two simple questions about T61.

Thread Starter 
I have two questions that I'm hoping someone can please answer.

* I am interested in the 15.4" T61. However, the graphics card that it comes with is "Intel GMA X3100 GM965 w/ WWAN" (only choice). While I hear that the specs for this card are quite good, I am concerned about the WWAN. Does this refer to Wireless WAN?

I am asking because I would really like to get the Intel Turbo Memory expansion since it's supposed to really "speed" up hard drive access, but Lenovo says, "Selection of Intel Turbo Memory hard drive cache does not allow configuration with Wireless WAN. Please deselect if Wireless WAN is required."

So, will I need to get a 14.1" T61/wait until they offer a different graphics card for the 15.4" model if I want to get Intel Turbo Memory?

* Are both RAM slots able to be upgraded with more RAM? I have heard that some laptops let you swap out one stick, but not the other. My plan is to get 2GB (2 DIMM) of 800 MHz memory and just take out the default 512MB@677 MHz stick, but I would like to confirm that T61's let you do this.

Thanks in advance!

The WWAN is either a Verizon or AT&T service, Let's you use a cell phone network to get on the net basically.

Not sure about the RAM, but you should be able to replace both. I'll take a look tomorrow.

You can swap out RAM from both slots.

Oh if you want a 15.4", I would wait. I am sure models with dedicated graphics will come soon.
