    It says on the spec it has a 320gb hard drive and that it supports dual HDD.

    My question is, Does it come with 2 X 160gb or 1 X 320gb?

    Thanks :)

    It's 1x320GB, I confirm :)

    Aniway, I haven't seen the spec that said it supports dual HDD... are we able to add another Hard Drive?

    That's good news. I will look for it. I will ask to the service center to be sure. That is very interest especially because HDD of 320 GB are not so expensive ;) But they say on the technical spec : up to 320GB, does it means over 320GB, it's not supported?

    ACER ARCADE are games right? I do not like the kind of games they give so I save some space on my hard disk then.

    Not really, there is some (disappointing)workarounds though. Check the link below.

    Nope, the most recent topic about that I could find is from 5 months(Vista media center) which confirms the old one..

    Hi there,

    I've asked Acer if they have any 64bit versions of "Acer Arcade Deluxe" and their response was "not at present".

    In order to install the 32 bit version of Acer Arcade Deluxe on your Vista 64bit OS just follow the steps below:

    1. In the 32 bit version of Vista Home Premium launch the eRecovery Management option and take the "Back up Drivers and Applications" option and back them up onto DVD disc.

    2. Install your chosen version of Vista 64bit onto your Acer laptop

    3. After Vista 64bit install is complete and you have applied all 64 bit drivers (available from Acer Support site) and run all Windows Updates load the "Drivers and Applications" DVD into your optical drive.

    4. When prompted take the "Run AutorunX.exe" option and navigate to the contents section where you should see all 32 bit versions of the software originally loaded on the laptop (including Acer Arcade Deluxe).

    I've been playing blu ray discs with the latest version of Acer Arcade Deluxe (2.1.6010) on my 64bit version of Vista Ultimate without any issues so far.

    I hope the above info is helpful to somebody.
    Of course the other option is to purchase PowerDVD 8 Ultra.
