How old is the battery & how much has it been used? Thanks!

Short answer: likely yes. Why? Two reasons, 1) because the creation of the RAID0 requires a re-ordering of data between 2 harddrives, and so requires a re-format of both disks involved and 2) because basically you're changing the...

Hmm, I guess I was a little un-clear with my wording--what I meant was that there are not hardware add-in raid cards like for desktop/server machines. There are several laptops which are "RAID ready" As for the 1730's raid...

If you have 2 80GB drives & RAID0 them together you'll have 160GB. But, if you have an 80GB & add a 120GB, your RAID0 will still only be 160GB. you can (usually) use the un-used part of the space on the 2nd disk, but, again,...

I had this problem with my M1710, (in my case, it turned out to be a Atheros wifi card) I wiped the OS, still got the bluescreens, pulled all the various bits & cards out of it until I found that it bluescreened once I put the wifi...

Ah, wasn't aware. (though; wtf?) Has this always been the case? I've been a laptop gamer since before SLI was available, so I have no experience w/ it... Here's the express card thing I was talking about; I don't know if they've...

edit--I hadn't ever looked into SLI & dual monitors--sorry for my daft response. There are one or two express card based video cards out there, but I rather fail to see why you can't just plug in your external monitor to the video...
