    I've read that it uses MXM 3.0a instead. But what's the difference between 3.0a and 3.0b appart from higher power consumption? Different connector? Different size? Just wondering, I'm well served with the 1000M so far :D

    They are different size for what i know,
    also on the m4600, the connector facing the ram so the free space between the connector and the ram is just enough for the mxm-a card.
    on the m6600 the connector is next to the ram so there is more free space for an mxm-b card.
