The hiss is a little strange. When I first power-on the speakers, I can just barely make out the hiss. After some actual sound has come through, the hiss is more pronouced and constant. It does not interfere with the sound output,...

Well, you and InvestorGuy can get it to work, so I must just be trying too hard... I'll check it out again tonight when I get home. I've got WinXP Pro also, so it should work ok. Thanks! -iNJ

The Logitech Z-680 5.1 speaker set are THX certified and have a Dolby Ditigal 5.1, DTS, and Pro-Logic II decoder built into the subwoofer cabinet. Retail is around $300. The Z-680s have a control panel device about the size of a VHS...

The catch here (there's always a catch, right?) is that the 845E chipset in Sager notebooks may or may not have been modified by Clevo and/or Sager in order to work in the notebook. I have not read or heard a definitive source that...

Same thing happens on my 8886. I don't know the actual cause. In my case the noise is more pronounced when the video card is busy... scrolling a document or web page causes a static-like sound, running the DirectX 3D test produces a...

The driver CD supplied by Sager comes with Windows 2000 drivers on it (as well as Win98/ME and XP drivers). You should have no problem with it. I ordered my 8886 with Windows 2000 on it... works just as well as anything else. -iNJ

A quick fdisk operation will get you to the same point as not having the OS installed from the factory. Plus, you can have some assurance that the computer is working correctly if you power it up with Win XP pre-installed. Just order...
