    I thought I was supposed to have a 80Gb harddrive in the M6811, but PartitionMagic can only find about 76Mb to use. Where are the remaining 4Gb?

    Yea,its true, you won't get exactly 80 gb, there are computing limitations with numbers and all. For example, a gig of ram would actually be 1024 mb....

    Emachines M6809 - 3200 AMD 64 - 512 DDR - 80gig - ATI 9600 O/C'd @ 457/223
