Well, it does fit and it does run. The question is, will it be reliable? Only time can tell that. I know that it gets very hot playing newer games (Vanguard.), but not really any hotter than the 6800 did.

Well, as goofy as it may seem, replacing one of the DVD drives seems to have fixed the problem. They definitely did not replace the mobo, still v5.5 (dammit!)

My understanding is that they only replaced the primary DVD drive and not the MB. When it comes in tomorrow, I will open it up and double check the MB.

I just talked to the folks working on mine and they tell me that a short in one of the DVD drives was causing the controller not to recognize my hard drives and that the controller was actually good. Replacing the DVD drive supposedly...

As a follow up to my previous post, I think I should be fair and say that on this last repair, my laptop was returned to me in exactly 2 weeks from the date I shipped it. This includes ship time to and from Micromedics and to and from...

Update: Sager just returned my laptop to Micromedics, repaired (supposedly). According to Sager, the problem was caused by a short in one of the DVD drives which caused the controller to not see the hard drives. I guess it's possible...

I have not used Sager's own warranty yet, but I have had to use Philips twice now on this unit and twice on my last one (Prostar). I have found the CS reps at Philips to be quite helpful most of the time, although I am not real happy...

Your machine is doing the same thing that my 9880 just did. Your problem isn't going to be memory in all likelihood. If you didn't hit F6 and install the RAID or ATA drivers (from a USB floppy) during the first part of Windows setup,...

I know that rjtech.com sells them and probably Sager as well. Your mobo probably isn't a revision (6.x) that can reliably handle a newer card though.

Typically, the procedure is to call the ext warranty company, not the vendor, if you are out of the factory warranty period.
