Ok for S-ATA disks. But the problem still with P-ATA And it's difficult to buy a 7200rpm disk in SATA mode (7K80 is avalaible but difficult to buy)

G-Omaha....Thanks for all the info!! And Rotorhead thank you too! I read up and decided to order the 9880 with two 80gb 5400 SATA drives in Raid 0 I have to try raid just for the hell of it... I'm now wondering if I could press my luck and get an opinion on the processor... I like th 1 mb cache but the 64bit chips with the 2mb cache and upgrade ability seem to be interesting.. do you think its worth it or I won't see any performance improvement until the newer versions of windows...?

IMHO, that upgrade may not be worth the extra dollars at this time (or at least not for me, if I were the one buying). By the time that "everything" is ready and WIN64 is mainstream, the laptop will be outdated and need to be replaced - or at least close to that point. The current INTEL 64-Bit offerings are not the "Real McCoy" so to speak; however, the AMD offerings are.

I know...I wish there were high end athlon chips available for laptops. So you don't think I'd benefit from the 2mb cache?

Not that you are going to "feel" in most cases. If you do high intensity graphics and/or multi-tasking, you may see a slight difference. Again, this is just my humble opinion and may not hold true for others that are "more sensitive". I do a lot of video rendering and multi-tasking on my 8790 and it runs just fine with lesser cache.
