    Does anyone know if the notebook supports hardware raid0? I want to install another 7k500 in my laptop. And rather have one single 1TB partition instead of 2x500GB. Thank you.

    Well, PM45 supports hardware RAID 0, but the options are not accessible through BIOS. I'm not familiar with RAID options and I don't know is there any other way to set it through Windows ...

    I couldn't find another drive like mine for a decent price. So I have halted the experiment for now.

    About the SP9400,
    I changed 2 bytes in setfsb to change the turbo OC %:

    The ram was not stable, so I had to increase the timings to what you see in my CPUz validation.
    I changed the CAS to 6 in the BIOS and the frequency to 667mhz. Then in windows I used memset to change the rest of the timings.

    I also had to raise the voltage to 1.35V with a volt mod, similar to this:

    But my power supply isn't good enough, if I run intelburntest the notebook turns off.
    So I had to remove the volt mod and just run the CPU at 3.3ghz.
