    I traded my acer ZG5 for this outdated POS. :eek: completely my fault that I read m680 as nx860... :(


    that being said, is there anything I need to know about this laptop? I know that the m680 and nx850 are the exact same, and that the nx860 uses the same chassis, but that is the extent of the info I can find...



    has anyone tired the nx860 mobo in the nx850?
    what video cards will work? It has a x700 now, and my nvidia 8600 fits but the heatsink holes are too close together to mount it.



    sad thing is the slow pentium M is still faster than the n270...

    does anyone know why I would only get a score of 500ish in 3dmark 05? the x700 should be good to at least 1200+ :confused:
