apparently nowhere. Acer claims that you can get an updated version at www.ferrariworld.com but there is no release for the F4005 just the F3200 and that was for the year 2005.

You can see it when you try to plug something. There is usually a red glow coming from the headphone socket.

I have one with the option of either using a wall socket or a second usb port. It's the LaCie DVD+-RW DL Slim, Design by FA Porsche. It's also quite small so it is easy to take with you.

I have my doubts that we'll see the x1800 on the Ferrari. We will only see it if they change the screen size from 15.4 to 17(since it's the ATI equivalent of the 7800 which can only be found in 17" laptops), which in my opinion will...

most probably a resistor or an IC got the wrong amount of voltage. I had an mp3 player(I know it's not the same thing) that got charged with a reverse polarity adapter and it melted in a similar way.

even though the chipset supports PC3200, there is no bios update to allow them to run at full speed. i.e. they run underclock at PC2700.

I just did a clean install on my F4005 and I used the latest drivers from realtek and it worked fine. Maybe the installation file that you downloaded was corrupted?

2-4, Full Format, re-partition, OS install, drivers install, OS updates, various utilities install.

The way you say that you will use the Ferrari 1 more gig should be better than 7200RPM.

I'm also thinking of doing a small upgrade to the F4005. I'm not sure if I should just increase the RAM to 2GB PC2700 or PC3200 or get a new 100GB 7200RPM HDD. Here in the UK the price difference between the two upgrades is around 60...
