Ok, this isn't really a topic that requires tech support, but I thought this might be the best place to find other 5680 owners. Has anyone tried Battlefield 2 on their 5680 (retail version)? I've been trying to figure out whether...

G-Omaha is correct about the hot-swapping of drives/battery (at least with respect to the floppy drive). The floppy drive is detected in BIOS, so you need to restart the computer to use it after swapping it in. I assume the other...
