Why did you sell it so soon Carter?
After having a mates old-ish Presario 2500 to play with for a week or two, I'm now thinking of getting my 1st lappy in about a month or so when the price cuts come in, and it's the Inspiron 6400 I was looking at!!!

Weren't ya happy with it for some reason?

The lappy was great tbh, except I want something with a bit more grunt, especially gfx wise, someone I knew wanted one so I offered it them and that was it really.

You can find cartridges that you place a 2.5" hdd in on the bay of e for the laptop dvd drive area, just like you can put 2nd batteries there too. :)

Never heard of or seen one. Must look that up. Isn't a pain not having a DVD especially for a gaming machine?

I hardly use it for games (got my main rig for that), the few games I do play on it don't need a dvd to play the game (nfs:c, ss2, ut, bf2142, source games, sup com)

If I do find I need to use the dvd drive for something I just pull the hdd caddy out and slot in the dvd drive.

Bought off these forums as I don't have access to my desktop machine whilst I'm in Edinburgh, might just get rid of desktop though as the laptop offers better performance than I expected.
Definately wanting to up the hard-disk at some point to around 160gb. Still toying with the idea of upgrading the CPU aswell, I'll see how funds are.
