Thanks for the reply. So there are 2 antenna wires attached to your wireless card, and also a wire from the switch? What kind of connection is it on that wire?

Hey, I ordered this notebook without the wireless options because I have a truemobile 1300 card that I've been using. I installed the card, and when I rebooted it detected it and I installed all the software. However, when I go to...

Just as a followup to my previous message, I took the notebook into a completely dark room, and you can't see the backlight at all when viewing it at any reasonable angle, and even when you get pretty far to the side. It's when you're...

I know that somebody posted about separating the case into halves to get at the mini-pci, but is there an easier way, like removing the keyboard or something? I need to install my wireless card and would like to avoid completely...

Awesome, what are the specs? I'd be really interested to see a 3dmark 2001 and 2003 benchmark if you could. I'm ok with the heat thing, but I can't really have a laptop with a loud fan while I'm sitting in class. Any rough idea for...

Hey, I was wondering if anybody had any personal experience with this laptop. I'm looking for a centrino based laptop in the near future mainly for battery life, but I'd still like to be able to play some games on it on occasion . I...

Yeah, I should have said I saw a recent post with new drivers that weren't made specifically for this card. Anyway, I'm currently using them, and while things seem a little more stable in relation to dropping connection, the signal...
