    Anyone know the speed of the EIDE-100gig drive that comes with the 8104WLMi?

    I can't seem to find it anywhere! :(

    Thanks Chaz! Hey what do you think of that Lappy? I've been taking a hard look at that one. I've seen some 3dMark05 posts of 2700+

    Sounds like it would be pretty nice. :)

    Ah - it's right below all my posts - I think that if you can't see it, you have to enable it in your preferences. Anyway, here is my review.
