This isn't a problem, its a design. The hard drives are attached to a mini pci raid card not the ide bus. Therefore the only ide device in the machine is the cd/dvd/burner drive.

True, but I don't know who to turn to. I'm all out of ideas. I was really interested in the Dell XPS2 for a while for its Mobility chip but its pricing combined with the non-full sized keyboard pissed me off. I want to the major...

So are all DTR's fundamentally flawed or is it limited to the 8790 notebooks? Did the AMD versions have this issue (what were they again? 4750/4790?)? How about the new DTRs from Sager (6800/7800 models)? I'm interested because this...

Get a real burning software (not built in WMP 9 or 10's) but something like Nero. You can probably get the oem v.6.5 edition on newegg.com for less than $40 now that version 7 is out. Use Nero to burn the files to Music CD's. Another...

Okay G-man so let me get this straight: You are clocking at 460/235 at mem refresh at 0x20 and it works fine? If not correct, what times work for you. See, I've got your times and refreshes all jacked up in my mind. I am running at...

G-man, yes that's the tape I was refering to. It covers the video ram (the little silver things), which is why the tape has a sorta baked/burnt look to it (not your smoking, its the chips melting the pad). I'll look into that supplier...

Can someone update with results to verify the normal timings work? I currently have my machine at 405/220 as per instructions months ago and I don't have any major artifacting. I would like information on the application of thermal...

I wish I could elaborate on Home vs Pro, but I remember having Home with a new pc I bought a few years back and there were lots of "little things" that I found missing that turned out to be things that I was used to being able...

Never mind, looked it up. The older models used the Alps touchpad and work great. I didn't know the newer models use a different brand. Sorry to hear about this. I'll be on the look out for it when I upgrade to a next gen machine.

Sorry sir, but unfortunately, the sleep button is reserved in the Bios I belive and its either an off or an on setting, no mapping allowed in addition to "confirmation ," the Microsoft OS does not support that feature. Perhaps...
