    Mr Moo, ok maybe in this atmosphere you are right and I am wrong. In my world (Bikers) that is what FTW means to us, but For the Win makes more sence here. Sorry guys.

    yeah Keg...I was thinking the same, but I noticed it wouldn't work in some of the instances where I had seen...'for the win' seems reasonable...

    Mucho Gracias

    Yeah thanks Mr Moo. I know that the paste is required as well after youve changed the CPU and there is a seperate guide for this but it would be nice to have this all in the same guide.

    Also, should I get the core2duo extreme or the quad-core? I heard some say the core2duo extreme is a better option as quad-core support is not widely available or something similar....whats the word on here?

    Thanks.

    -Change the quick keys to launch more desirable apps like firefox instead of IE. Use regedit.
    "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\MobilePC\\HotStartButtons";
    Once you are there, you can modify the programs to launch.
    Or, http://4help.alienware.com/cgi-bin/a...i=&p_topview=1


    there you go
