For DVD-RAM look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dvd_ram

Hmmm... My scroll bar doesn't get stuck during the boot up but I don't think it would really be of an issue if other things worked as they should... It would bug me a bit, though, as it does indeed get stuck on my 2nd desktop (P3 700)

I feel it stucks more if I use more programmes on start up,so what are your start up programmes? As i told, infact I checked brand new Toshiba Qasmio in the show room and even it was also like this, that made me relax otherwise I was thinking my laptop is defective.

I had the M70 for 3 days, 2.5 weeks ago and ended up having to exchange it 3 times. Finally, I got a sweet deal on the M60 for literally the same price, and since I always wanted a bigger screen i went for it. Havent looked back since.

However, it is not perfect. Yes, the keyboard like many users have said, the keys are really stiff...but im sure over time it will break in, like all keyboards will. But when i type on my brothers A70, the difference is like night and day. I dont know why the M60 keyboard is made so snappy? Odd, but not a big deal. Definitely need some epsom salt to loosen up the hand muscles, its like getting a workout, since it IS typewriter keys!

The biggest grip I have with the keyboard is how two of the most commonly used keys - the period and the right shift, are shrunken, and yet the left shift is 4 times the size? That just doesnt make any sense to me. What Toshiba should have done was shrunken the numpad, because though I love mine...how often do you use it really? Not nearly as much as the right shift. Through the 2 weeks, I have yet to get used to this. The period key is fine, but finding the right shift is bit tricky. But then again, I use a standard full size keyboard at work, typing away at it for 8hrs a day anyways.

Surprisingly its made pretty well. Hinge doesnt creak when I open it, the keyboard doesnt really flex, but I think this has a large part to due with the super stiff keys.
Nevermind.

just to let you know.. i benched marked the M70-SR6 with 3dmark05 and it scored 2664 with factory drivers.. i also double checked and it states that the SR6 does have 256MB VRAM.. now i am trying to figure out why it scored less than the FE5

Where does it state that it does? If it had 256mb it would score higher than 2664

agreed people still believe that 128 vs 256 is a huge difference...I have noted many times before that it really does not provide significant gains in the Notebook GPU department.

True, the GPU of the x700 can't really take much advantage of the extra 128mb of memory. But a few fps are always welcome

But what I meant to say is that some programs inform me that I have a 256mb x700 which, unfortunately, isn't the case...

i checked by using the display options then selecting the advanced menu and selecting adapter tab, it will say 256MB, then select the options tab and click on details, it will also say 256MB and type is DDR1, but when i ran the gameadvisor.futuremark.com test on it.. it shows up as 128MB.. strange... anyhow.. i am returning it since i am getting a crap load of artifacts on the display during usage... i am gonna stick with the A100-JH2 thought i bought..

Have you tried the support pages of your local Toshiba site? If in the US start HERE and follow the instructions on screen.

And what does this have to do with a year old thread on the M70?
