    Thanks for the information. And thanks Rose for the link, but i still havent received any answer regarding my warranty from AW (i mentioned the dispute in my previous thread) and i dont intend to do any further business with them. And i know for a fact that the blu-ray burner drive will work in the m17, since it works in the ocz as a few members of the ocz forum have told us and its the same thing apart from the bios (im using ocz anyway so its the same in my case).
