Is the application accelerator something a M675xl owner should install?

Tuscsonan or Kuldaan- Between the two of you, I remember one has a port replicator. Can you unplug the AC adaptor from the replicator and use it directly into the machine or is it permanently attached to the replicator? A...

My 675 does the same thing. I'm still trying to tweak it to 'behave itself'. I pulled up the manual and read about power conservation and how to wake it from standby/sleep. Mine will freeze and has to be unplugged and restarted. ...

Chaotic Reality- I got the second hard drive from Gateway when I bought the computer. It came boxed separately. $269 from Gateway, but they gave me 10% off because of AAA! Inside the box was the hard drive (Toshiba MK6022GAX)- 60...
