when i was working on my raid problem (yeah still not fixed), i saw teh slot to put the wireless card...seems pretty easy...but if you dont feel comfortable installing it, thats cool.

shazza, you know the best place to pick up an internal card at? anything i need to looks for?

which adapter did you buy?
i know that the 5700 has what is called "express card" slot, and i am not sure if the slot allows for regular pcmcia cards.

again i would say take afvantage of alienware support...send them an email and aske them card they suggest for the slot.

well about a day after i got it, my raid started screwing up...spent all night with tech support to no avail. So I just settled on have 2 hard drives with no Raid 0. well 2 nights ago my wife said that while she was surfing the comp froze up on her and after rebooting got a message that the hd was failing and data could become corrupted.
went home last night and got the same message..in fact everytime i boot up i get that message.

looked at teh via raid toll software and it had the second hd as the one being a pain...i unplugged the hd and everything worked fine.

i have an email into support trying to get an rma for the hd....hopefully ill hear fromt hem soon and they can send me another hd.

yeah...things at work and life in general have been crazy and more important than the laptop (i know i slapped myself when i wrote that)...

after the last call to aw i wanted to be able to devot as much time as possible to them.

i hope this doesnt come off as a AW bash..i love my laptop..and i dont have some ungodly expectation that technology should be perfect and unfailing....

life seems to happen and takes over your free time ......

do not see this as any sort of bashing ...

these machines do not come cheap and as a consumer you have a right to get what you paid for ...

Hope it is working out for ya

let me ask..how hard do you think it would be for them to send me a new hard drive? i really dont want to sit on the phone for hours when i can pretty much guarantee that it is the hard drive. really dont want to play the reinstall windows game either...

yeah it just seems easy to point out the flaws of a company, but hearing the good side seems hard to write about...to be honest i was a lil concerend from teh stories i have read, but the guys i talked to proved it all wrong!! put my mind at ease on my purchase
