    I want to buy this laptop but I will be using it for digital audio production... No where on the web states if the hard drive is 5400 or 7200 or the cache size of the hdd (which is very important for recording and midi keyboards)... what the bios options are for booting, wether it offers booting from usb, network, etc....

    If I can boot from another device, does anyone know if its possable to install or partition magic Windows XP onto a USB hard drive?

    what are the AGP setting, can I change the MB to allow physical memory for the radion9600... None of this info is listed, is every computer user suppost to not care about this sh!* ???

    Can anyone answer these questions for me?
    Any advanced specs on this product would be nice if anyone can post them...

    You'll likely have a 4200 RPM HD. I got lucky with my 6805 (same basic Arima made machine) and got a 5400. You can boot from the CD or an external USB floppy or some Flash drives, but probably not a USB HD. Internal HD upgrade is real easy, or just use an external for data files. Video is 64 MB dedicated to the 9600. AGP 8x or 4x. On board audio is puny (AC 97), but i doubt any laptop audio is better. Here's a link to the maker: http://www.arima.com.tw/ViewProduct.asp?View=71.

    First PC = Vic-20, 8" 128KB Home-Brew Floppy Drive ... Current Rig = eMachines m6805 ... Quantum Leap?

    You can boot from the network adapter.
