As far as I know, USB 2.0 emulated expresscard runs at 60Mb/sec throughput. This is even worse than old PCMCIA 32bits with 132mb/sec throughput. Only expresscard has true PCIe 1x comes with 250Mb/sec throughput. But it is really hard to know from...

Guess upgrading the CPU might be a future option once prices for what I can put in have come down a bit. Would you put in just a standard HDD or the newer solid state drives? Pricewise obviously the standard hard drives are way better and again, prices will surely come down in the future. Not sure how I'd add the second drive as it seems the drives aren't as easily accesible on this laptop vs the M90 I've had. Bet there's...

Generally with ZIF connectors they're only conductive on one side so flipping shouldn't cause a problem. I would doublecheck your connections again and make sure that all of them are oriented correctly.

Notebook speakers are "poor", per definition! Should you need better sound, get a good headset or a good pair of external speakers! But yes, you can replace them if you want. Plenty of guides on the net as how to swap/replace internal speakers. cheers ...

Changing or adding a second Hd is very easy on these laptops

Also note I've spec'd the ATI FirePro M7740 (to save money). I assume that's...

I just got my port replicator plus today. How does the charger of this compare with the charger of the m6500?

Yeah I like the 6400 form factor far better than the M17x, but... well you have to admit that SLI 280's is a pretty nice plus. But my 6400 has been a picture of stability and speed and I really do love it. Can't wait to see reviews of the 6500. And the docking station is a nice plus as well.

I tried several times but the hard disk just won't get detected. I could successfully boot into LinuxMint using the CD drive though. I suspect damage Power Supply regulators on the board. Where can I get it fixed for a nominal cost? I saw several auctions in eBay where I can mail it in and get it fixed. Are there better/cheaper places? A similar thing happend with me an year ago and I just replaced the whole motherboad myself. This time...
