I've had 4 different Sagers now and my experience is that their wireless sucks. On all of them I've had the same problems you mention. Matter of fact, my 9890 I'm on right this very minute (wireless) has been doing this all day. Next...

I've had a trouble free 9860 for just a little over a year. Until about 3 weeks ago. Now, I'll just be doing whatever (gaming, on web, whatever) and it will just SUDDENLY drop dead. No blue screen, no nothing. Just WHAM. It's powered...

Thanks for the reply, Luke. First thing is first. This thing is the 3rd Sager I've bought from PC Torque, so please don't just make me out to be some kind of naysayer. I've done plenty of positive press for Sager, but I am also a...

I bought the 9860 for its much-vaunted upgradability of PCIE graphics cards. I have been considering upgrading from the 6800 Go to the Ultra, but held back because it's not REALLY upgradable - you have to buy a new motherboard, et...

Maybe it's just me (it must be!) but I have the first generation 6800 Go, and for the life of me, I can't see what difference it would make yet to even have a faster card. This is the "slow" one? Is that like saying a Porsche...

All the other crap and commentary aside, congrats on your purchase. You're going to LOVE it. Nuff said. I got mine in the first 2 weeks or so it was released and even with the old first gen 6800 Go, it's the best computer I've ever...

No problems with my 9860. It is completely flawless, and the best computer I've ever had. My only complaint is I got one of the early models, and I guess I need to send it in to have them upgrade it for video cards, and that irritates...

My 2 cents... I've had many normal LCDs, even very nice ones (the UXGA on the 8887 was particularly nice), but the glossy screen on the 9860 is phenomenal. I LOOOOOVE it. No comparison. Non-glossy screens look sort of "washed...

Adam, Could you please tell me how you overclocked the 6800 in your initial review of it? I've checked the video properties tab trying to find how/where you overclocked it and I don't see any way to get to that tab with the...

I'd like to thank everyone for their help. I tried every suggestion, the only thing that ended up working for me was the link to the microsquish article on setting up an ad-hoc network. Thanks a bunch! That did the trick!
