    These stories scare me as I'm thinking about returning my Vostro 1400 for a M1330...out of the two, which will be more durable in the long run?

    Good luck and keep us posted. I wish i could hear what the wine actually sounds like. I don't think mine has it. Sounds silent as can be when running. Though that slot load dvd is a noisy bugger.

    I'm in the same boat.. Dell sent me a motherboard replacement, I haven't gotten around to installing it yet.. hopefully will take the whine away...

    Southbridge whine comes from the express card slot (below right palm rest)..
