    I just purchased an Asus U6V. I want an additional power adapter, and I'd like to get smaller one to travel with if I can. Anyone know if there is a slim version available somewhere?

    I have an extra Vista 64 Ultimate license that I plan on using. Is there a way to make a Restore CD with my Vista 64 installation? Anyone know of any issues with the U6V and Vista 64?

    I don't think ASUS sells a different / slim version of the adapter. See the ASUS eStore for an additional adapter of the same type, though. I'm unsure whether the U6 requires the 60W or the 90W version, the one you have right now should give you the answer (read the specs on the bottom). The plugs are the same throughout the ASUS lineup.

    As to recovery CD, you should already have gotten a recovery DVD with the notebook, and in addition to that there is a recovery partition on the HDD that can be accessed by pressing F9 during bootup. These recovery media contain the default installation on the notebook.

    If you wish to make a backup of your current, or new Vista 64 installation including apps etc, I suggest a tool like Acronis True Image Home.
