    Just wondering if anyone would be interested in service manuals for the M860TU and the M570TU and if it is worth uploading them?

    Is there a reason why the nVidia Geforce 9600M GS is listed under the video cards section?

    I thought this wasn't an option.

    Yeh... i think it is an option, although the majority of resellers have better 9600M GT notebooks already which are thinner and lighter so I can't imagine it would be a popular choice

    That's true. For such a thick notebook, the 9600M GS/GT wouldn't be worth it at all.

    However, for people with a tight budget, it would be a popular choice...if it came with a Quad Core processor. ;)

    The M860TU is MXM capable. So any of the current graphics cards will do. I only wish there was a barebone model of the notebook available... :(

    I just checked the website. You can't get the M860TU without a graphics card.

    Here it says DDR2, on page 23 of the manual, Mainboard Overview - Bottom (Key Parts) 1-11, Figure 8 Mainboard Bottom Key Parts. Number 4 says "Memory Slots DDR2 So-DIMM" I am guessing it is a typo.

    I know... Its very unusual to be able to source the Service Manuals! I still havent been able to find one for my M570U or the M570RU but I also have one for the M570A... Infact the entire list of the ones I have is:

    M570A
    M570TU
    M860TU
    M590KE
    M760TU
    M722T
    TN120R
    D900C
    LV22C
    L390T

    Im not to swift with these schematics. Can anybody here read it, and tell me if theres a spot on the mother board for a second fan?? Or third?? I see theres no connectors for it, but if there is room for more fans, maybe i can soldier it on.
