Some fifteen minutes of googling gives a strictly negative result.
You can stick it onto some W500, but that's a bit newer machine. People
would run quad's on T6* series already if it's possible. Of course that
info would leak to google already.

45W of power wouldn't be a problem if you'd take a T61p heat spreader +
fan - NVIDIA GPU would add much more then ten watts so the cooling
system is designed for that.

But once again - no, you wouldn't run that.

Get a decent SSD for the buck - it's much much better. Or push 8GB of
DDR-2 - it's possible (but not cheap).
