next, the 1.4 banias has a 1meg cache, so it should be more then enough muscle for everyday use and 512mb is perfectly fine for a notebook imo. as for the hdd, if speed is not too much of an issue i'd say go with a 80gig 5400 drive instead. it's cheaper then the drive i got and slightly larger, just...

i see... call asus direct, see what they can do, you may get lucky. chances are they'll give it to you without many, if any questions because their support guy won't know enough english to dare question you.

at my work we order the drive with the book itself, as we get better rates that way. however, i'm sure it is proprietory, which means you'll probably have to bitch at them to get it. if you don't have the other mounting hardware tell them you need that too. also prepare for probably spend like 20bux...

pjv i can't speak for everyone on that list, but i can say this much, where i work we won't shaft you. right now there is or was an international backorder on asus notebooks, from my understanding. as a result prices on the m6n series have gone up about 100-150 more then they were a month ago. i don...

The Asus m6n series uses a Toshiba optical drive. IF you got a drive with yours, you'll have the mounting brackets to fit another drive in it's place, however your eject button may not work properly or at all. Not every slimline optical drive has the eject button connections at the same point. for e...

My work place sells them, but they mainly sell the standard 9600 full screen version. Those who are interested in this book should know that there is four variations of it. You can...
