Just a quick update. Sager called me back and their is not update for the promise RAID controller so no more than 120GB hard drives. Promise refers me to OEM/Sager for support. I took back the 160GB drive and purchased a 120GB and I can...

I am getting out of my techinacal abilities here, but maybe you can help. I have tried to e-mail promise for information but they have not responded. I believe that the bios of the controler is not seeing more than 137gb. It shows up...

An added piece of info: If I put in my old 60 gig disk with xp on it in drive one, I can see the 160 gig drive in XP as D drive. Actually I originally had two 60 gig drives no RAID then went to two 100 no raid all using XP. This...

Has anyone purchased a new battery for the 8790? Any recommendations where to buy? I think the 12 cell battery is a DR-202. Does that sound correct? Pricing seems to range from $70.00 to $180.00. Any info or experience would be helpful.

My computer has been in for extended warenty repair going on three weeks now. Waiting for parts. Because of the artifacting issue I am using my old Dell and it will run more software than this $4,000.00 clunker because of the graphics...

I have the problem and it was getting worse so I loaded the ATI tool and under-clocked at removed 3D detecting and of course have got rid of the problem but no 3D and it’s not what I paid for. My old Dell will run more software than this...

I had the same problem and in fact at 15' the signal was low. I changed the wire and it is much better and has changed to good signal. If I put in the USB wireless adaptor I used in my old notebook I get a full signal. This is about the...
