Here's the link to the Seagate site with info on that drive. Sounds pretty good with the 8mb buffer. Glad to hear it's a Seagate since they now have a 5 year warranty. http://www.seagate.com/products/discfamily/momentus/ Here's a link...

Thanks. I really was confused about bluetooth and blackberry. Was told by people at several stores that bluetooth was an idea that came and went. Maybe they meant blackberry. Either way, I'm looking into it now. I allready bought a...

I ordered the bluetooth with mine but not sure why. Maybe to interface with a cell phone or PDA? To be honest, thought Bluetooth was Blackberry (duh) and knew that some cell phones and PDA's use it. I travel quite a bit and just thought...

From what I understand, the faster drive should have both lower seek times and a larger buffer. As far as dead pixels - all the manufacturers have their own criteria. It should be spelled out in the warranty. There are different deals...

Found this link for AMD processors http://forums.amd.com/index.php?showtopic=45230 If all the zv6000/R4000's are S939 then the 3200+ should be a 90nm core at 1.4v. This should give a better temp and battery life than the 130nm...

Other than the obvious advantage of processor speed, still not sure about the advantage of the 3500 over the 3200 CPU. Does anyone know if there is any difference in architecture or the way they use memory? Was thinking about the...
