The A4s that I have seen the specs of all say 2.5 hours max...which translates to about 2 hours (with the 6 cell battery you get with it) - I have a Celeron version which does do about 2 hours. So, I think you misread the specs...

I disagree that it couldn't be a driver problem - some drivers "just don't work" with some games...I'm not saying is IS driver-fixable, but if changing driver helps....well, as you americans would say, "you do the...

You two, despite being well known and (I'm sure) respected people on this board, are completely missing the point. There was a problem with the driver Toshiba shipped. The FIRST thing you try is a driver upgrade. The 6600 is a VERY...

Hmm why would the chipset be different in a line....its still got a PCI Express graphics card, surely it would be folly to build using a different chipset....its a whatever Sonoma PM (rather than GM, I mean)...or at least thats what I...

Why do you say that? There are A5s with up to 2.13 already? Bios locking?

Hmm nobody monkeying with their A4s yet then...oh well, looks like I'll have to have a play...will report back if I find anything interesting

Hi, well, this is interesting. Got my bargain basement Tecra A4 on Friday (£500 for the lowest spec version - celeron M 1.5 GHz). It runs fine (since I put another gig of RAM in anyway!), but after taking the bottom flaps off I...

Because thats what the laptop is expecting...you can't change mem speeds, its fixed to being "the right" speed...hence it will default to what its expecting, 2700.

I know for a fact windows 2000 and XP gave the drivers for the Tecra 8000 built in, if thats any help...W98 is godawful...2k on one of those is useable, if you pop 256Mb in it...

Ghost images are bootable, usually! All you need to do is put the first disk in and tell the computer to boot from CD before HDD. USB floppy drives (that are bootable in newer computers) cost like...£20, tops.
