the XP2200+ Thornton combo is back on Sale at Fry's (ends 11/20) I got a bad board the other day from the Manhatten Beach store but it was no problem returning it to get a new one. It is just a hassle going to Fry's and wait in the return line. I test out every board right away when I get home...

Did anybody get the current Fry's deal K7VTA3 v.8 and XP2200+ that is advertised in the paper today? I just wonder if they are giving out the Thornton core again? When I got the XP2000+ deal last Wednesday from the Fry's Manhatten Beach store it was a Thornton CPU. please share your info...

Deal is back valid October 29-30th. Looks like from the AD in the LA Times the board is v.8 again.

Does the ECS k7vta3 v5.0 mobo suffer from the infamous lost CMOS too like the K7S5A board? I'm temted to get this combo but so far I only had bad experience with 3 ECS K7S5A boards. I don't know how much one would get to just sell the board on Ebay and keep the retail CPU? The 1800XP Retail CPu...

Does anybody know if the free upgrade 802.g card will be backward compatible to 11b networks? Looks like a good deal this laptop. Persoanlly never owned an AMD based laptop and would love to give this one a try. :confused:

The b/g Orinoco card does have an external antenna connector. The a/b/g combo card does not and that is due to some regulatory thing because of the 11a 5ghz capability. I went ahead and bought the 11b/g Gold card and it came out to $79.79 with shipping and tax. Too bad that the Orinoco card...
