That's not true, Thunder. I've got SP2 installed on my 6810 and the Power Now! still functions perfectly, including the tab being there. Other than an annoying change in the control panel, and the addition of several unwanted features,...

Well, I've officially given up on RedHat/Fedora's bull****. I spent around two weeks downloading 6 GB of ISO images (1 DVD and 4 CDs), only to burn 8 total coasters: 1 DVD coaster, and 7 CDs. All because they can't make standard ISO...

The only Athlon 64 laptops I know of with a 3 hour battery life are the eMachines M68xx line (I got 3:12 out of the box, but currently only getting ~2:30), the Acer Ferrari (thanks to its Low Power Athlon 64), and the HP/Compaq with a 12...
