    Couple of questions for you 1640 owners. I just got mine last Saturday and I did a fresh install of windows. I can't seem to find the wallpapers that came with the system. I looked on the resource dvd and on the web for a good few hours and can't find them. I am particularly looking for the one that is grey and black with leaves. Also did yours come with the reinstall cd for roxio and powerdvd because i am not sure mine did.

    Also has anyone installed a WD Scorpio Black 320gb hard drive and have you noticed a performance increase? I have one sitting on my desk still sealed in its package and I am considering putting it in but was reading that the Seagate that is in there isn't too much of a slouch and has 16mb of cache.

    Also I was thinking of returning my 1640 and waiting for the new 4670 gpu upgrade ( i found out about it after i bought it). This also would put me in the timeframe for the free windows 7 upgrade. My question is for those of you that returned the 1640 because it got too hot or whatever or you just didn't like it did Dell charge you the 15% restocking fee?

    thanks for any help
