From what I have read running the memory in dual channel mode doesn't really do much to improve the performance in non-integrated video machines (since there is more bandwidth than the PM utilizes..different story for P4's). The extra...

1 GB should be more than enough for you. Just config your machine with the bare minimum of RAM. Then pick up a 1GB stick for under $125 @ Newegg. Combine the memory together and you'll have more than 1GB for under $125.

No, I haven't run any benchmarks. To be honest I don't expect the S4XX to perform any differently than the S380 since they seem to be essentially the same machine. Main difference being the DL drive.

Yes, it does. If you play games or are doing some serious CPU intensive work then you can expect much less than 3 hours. Today at work I used it during a meeting (WiFi on and screen dimmed) after an hour there was 2:35 left on the...

I just received mine on Friday so I haven't done much testing. I did use it at work yesterday at a few meetings. With the display dimmed to 1 or 2 (still quite bright) and power savings enabled the battery was showing 3-3.5 hours. ...

Try Centrino Hardware Control (just google it). It works like RMclock but is a little more user friendly. I am using it on my S460 without any problems. Helps with the fan noise quite a bit unless you run your CPU full bore all the time.

I would pick up an Intel 2915 a/b/g card. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...C-pr1c3grabb3r Don't worry about the antennas. The manufacturers install antennas that work with either frequency.

I have a S460 fresh from the factory. How do I go about finding out the amount of discrete RAM? I already checked a few places and didn't see any definite information.

You could email it to me and I could host it.

Are they both wired/wireless? Are you running the same apps? A little more info would be really helpful.
