    I am about to order an HP Pavilion dv6000t and have two outstanding questions before pulling the trigger.

    1 – Video - Does the 256MB NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) Go 7400 have the IEEE 1394 port, 5-in-1 Media Reader and one additional USB port, like the Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator 950 – Core? Does the base unit already have Firewire and media reader ports and the Graphics Media Accelerator 950 just gives another one of each? I need only 1 Firewire port and media reader port, and would prefer the faster video card.

    2 – Battery - What is the weight and run time difference between the 6 Cell and 12 Cell Lithium Ion Battery?

    Also, I have two additional questions.

    1a - any suggestions on RAM -Amount/configuration/source? Will I notice the difference if I load it up with 2GB? As background, I will be using the unit as a desktop replacement. I work in banking and am finishing off my MBA, so it used primarily for number crunching and some photo/video editing. Where is the best place to

    2a - I had been waiting for HP to add the MIMO wireless adapter that Dell added a couple months ago. As they each tend to copy the features of the other, I was expecting it to be added for the Thanksgiving rush, but have heard nothing. Has anyone heard anything about HP adding a MIMO/NIMO wireless adapter?
