    it has been widely stated (i can not link confirmations) that OCZ is no longer advertising the "whitebook" and that AW has taken over rights to it - thus the m17 can live on....

    It's still marked EOL. Check under OEM Solutions -> Whitebook

    Ok that is true, but if you go under the product DIY notebook 17 screen there is no EOL.

    not sure whizzo.
    all i remember reading and hearing was that AW was involved somehow.
    as for specifics, i cannot say.
    maybe i should recant my post before everybody gets the wrong idea.... :)

    (ok all - forget the part about rights until proof can be confirmed)
