Argh. Got everything today except for the memory. "Delayed because of xmas rush." Uh, then why didn't they email me last week to tell me? Cancelled and am now ordering from link ghost_recon88 gave above. Memory is memory I...

Just be warned that if you do spend $280 on a 36GB SSD drive now, that it will only be worth maybe $20 in about two years. But then again, how fast have the iPods been "outdated" with newer iPods, and people paying...

EDIT: In response to Buck47's post, on 2.5 hours of sleep, I read, "Did you [mean] memtest?". Hence what caused the post below. Sorry. But non-the-less, some good info is below. Nope. I meant CPU-Z. MemTest tests the...

Yep, do a search on 1505 and 1500 wireless. I have the 1500 in my E1705, and the 1505 in my GF's E1520. I've noticed the connections to the router (802.11g and a different 802.11n at times) is much quicker with the 1505 then the...

Ok ok. I spent $100 to get actual Samsung with lifetime warranty. Too many times have I had to call about that warranty on knock-off brands to people that don't speak English. Done with all of that.
