    OK, I love my MW1, it looks even better than I thought if would from the pics, and slimmer, It does put out some heat, but then with these spects it should. The right palm rest can get heated up, all that gameing will do that to a machine. The fan does turn on every few mins, but it's also alot quieter than my P-4 2.53 gameing tower. I needed a 15.0" screen and I love this one. And Game it does, Whoo Hoo!

    Sound? Sounds good on the headphones, (I have an Xfi and ZS on the towers and that rocks even more on headphones.)

    That I don't have the driver's right on this MW1 is also a possibilty,
    I'm spoiled by the Creative ZS and Xfi, but I need a high end type 2 slot sound card on this notebook.

    If you have a MW1 with a ZS installed and working properly, please let me know it works. Office Depot is selling the ZS for $50., I think because the ZS in the blister pack is replaceing the boxed version, or mabe a notebook Xfi is comeing out?

    Thanks,
    CaseMauder
    Edit: Martnas got me to flash the bios to version
    Q3B61. The fan runs less, is quieter, and my games don't lock up.
