I fail to see why, if the heads are parked on a ramp, it needs to rattle like a toy for newborns.

Hitachi HDD
So, that Hitachi will go in any 2.5" HD compatible notebook, right? And, will I really notice an increase in overall performance (probably a dumb question to you guys, but hey, we all gotta learn sometime, somewhere)?2.4 GHz P4 :: 1024 MB RAM
533 MHz FSB :: 233 MHz DDR
64 MB Radeon Mobility
w/128 MB Video Buffer
40 GB HD & 120 GB External HD
DVD/CDRW :: JBL Creature 2 SpeakersComment

Mind the height of the drive. Notebook drives come in different heights!

as for a upgrading laptops... normally i draw a line at ram and hdd as for me there is no use upgrading the cpu.. rather save for a new one..--> athlon64 notebooks are already out (waiting for those on sis chipsets)Last edited by Belwarrior; 8 March 2004, 02:06.Life is a bed of roses.

AFAIK, the Alienware A64 notebook is based on a Mitac barebone, which is a dog.
SIS doesn't seem to have much luck with its A64 chipset so far, I only saw an ECS 755 board (now 755A2) for ATX systems. I wonder if it's a production problem or a marketing one...Comment

ECS is having real trouble getting their A64's to run at 400ddrComment

That's why they released the 755A2. Should be solved now. The first 755 is not very stable.Comment

It may be deeper than that, I think I might wait for A3
Over at one of the hardcore ecs OC'er and moding sites I have seen a lot of posts about memory issues with both 755 and 755A2, some saying they got better results using the original 755.
It may be a 1 or 2 dim issue causeing the problems.
I still have an k75sa , but I think ecs has gone of the rails a bit on the 755's, the SIS chipset itself may be quite good but I think ecs must have fecked up.
How hard can it be, since the memory controller is actually on the processor???Comment

Do they turn their wheels in like parking on a hill?Originally posted by az
The heads are parked on a ramp when not in use. This gives the drives better shock protection.
