=========================
Lenovo provides the following screen resolutions in the T60 series.

Non-widescreen models:
1. XGA (1024*768) - available in 14"/15" T60, T60p
2. SXGA+ (1400*1050) - available in 14"/15" T60, T60p
3. UXGA (1600 * 1200) - available in 15" T60p

Widescreen Models:
1. WXGA (1200*800) - available in 15" widescreen T60, T60p
2. WSXGA+ (1680×1050) - available in 15" widescreen T60, T60p

=========================

The CPUs with numbers that start with a "1", like T1300
are single core. Others are dual-core. T2XXX are
CoreDuo; T5500 and above are Core2Duo. Core2Duo are
64-bit and can run 64-bit OS.

=========================

14" and 15" non-widescreen T60 models:

-T1300, T1400, T2300, T2300E, T2400, T2500, T2600, T2700,
  T5500, T5600, T7200, T7400, T7600 processors work
  (other Socket M, 667MHz bus Yonah or Merom core cpus may work, too)

-14" and 15" 4:3 display T60 motherboards are interchangeable
  (15.4" widescreen T60 motherboards are different)

-there were five different graphics chips available for these mobos;
  Intel integrated video, ATI X1300, ATI X1400, ATI V5200, ATI V5250

-all panels work with all mobos/GPUs; 14" or 15", XGA, SXGA+ or UXGA

-any fan will work with the Intel video mobo, any fan from an ATI GPU mobo
  will work with any other ATI GPU mobo (however, some fan models had
  thicker/longer cooling pipes)

-there were seven different mobo variations due to the absence or inclusion
  of WWAN connetors on the Intel video mobo and ATI X1300 mobo; all the
  higher end mobos have the WWAN connector; it's best to visually inspect
  your Intel video mobo or ATI X1300 mobo if you're thinking about adding
  a WWAN adapter

-the GPUs on the performance video boards run hot (ATI V5200, ATI V5250)
