Make sure u check the hardware compatibility b4 u buy any MB for unix OS. this is a very important preparation.

btw, any high performance(7200 rpm or is there higher one?) notebook hdd to recommend? what is the small size availabe in markte now? 80GB? price wise? Will the battery life drain significantly faster?

higher rpm sure drains battery. Neway, v3100 got HD capacity limitation rite? the maximum sixe can support is 120gb rite?

one more question, does it effect the battery if i charge it full, and didnt use the battery for a weeks? any degradation?

li-ion battery will degrade seriously if:

1) continuous charging
2) completely discharge
3) charge it to full

source: http://batteryuniversity.com/parttwo-34.htm

QUOTE

Simple Guidelines

* Avoid frequent full discharges because this puts additional strain on the battery. Several partial discharges with frequent recharges are better for lithium-ion than one deep one. Recharging a partially charged lithium-ion does not cause harm because there is no memory. (In this respect, lithium-ion differs from nickel-based batteries.) Short battery life in a laptop is mainly cause by heat rather than charge / discharge patterns.

* Batteries with fuel gauge (laptops) should be calibrated by applying a deliberate full discharge once every 30 charges. Running the pack down in the equipment does this. If ignored, the fuel gauge will become increasingly less accurate and in some cases cut off the device prematurely.

* Keep the lithium-ion battery cool. Avoid a hot car. For prolonged storage, keep the battery at a 40% charge level.

* Consider removing the battery from a laptop when running on fixed power. (Some laptop manufacturers are concerned about dust and moisture accumulating inside the battery casing.)

* Avoid purchasing spare lithium-ion batteries for later use. Observe manufacturing dates. Do not buy old stock, even if sold at clearance prices.

* If you have a spare lithium-ion battery, use one to the fullest and keep the other cool by placing it in the refrigerator. Do not freeze the battery. For best results, store the battery at 40% state-of-charge.

After install the driver. U may try other cd else see whenever can play or not. Sometime is cause by sensitive issue or purchased illegal VCD/DVD

. If still same problem occured then you have to prepare to claim ur warranty.

means dat.. it is good to store the battery @ 40% state for long-period unused.. and keep it cool.. then we can it fully for once in 30 charges? hurm.. i understand that.. and try to practise d guidelines..

ONLY CHARGE FULL WHEN U WANT TO USE IT!!
