Adding AT&T or Verizon WWAN card after purchase?

Could anyone point me in the right direction for adding the part needed to get WWAN functionality? I can't seem to find these actual parts for sale online as I did my bay battery and extra charger.

Thank you.

You nailed it. Letting it sit idle with no device and then connecting gave me another freeze. It was likely my constant activity today rather than the patches that kept it from happening sooner.

Visual Studio, MSDN, Adobe Creative Suite, VMWare Workstation + VM images, etc. eat up disk space fast. What was killing me however was 4GB page file + 4GB hibernate file + 4GB recovery partition. At least I can dump the last two. It's going to help a lot.

I can confirm my xp preload has a 4gb hidden partition. I also only have a C: drive, but gparted will allow not only deleting the partition but also resizing the main ntfs partition. I will try this tonight and report back. The one time I did this before, I did have to restore the Vista boot header ...

Also, I'm on my 4th hour now of working with no freezes after applying those patches. I have swapped devices in the front left usb port about 12 times now.

I don't think this is happening though to people who didn't reformat their machine. I wonder if SP1 contains the same faulty driver? I used my X300 for two days before installing the Intel 965 driver, and it began happening immediately.

Tips for saving SSD space

I've already managed to fill up 50GB of space, so I'm looking for some good tips on saving SSD space. A few things I've done which could help others: 1. I turned off Hibernation. The thing boots so fast that I decided I wanted my 4GB back. If you have 2GB of RAM, the benefit of doing this will be le...

Probably just a matter of time for me too then.

I believe this happened after installing the Intel 965 chipset drivers. I wonder if there is any ill effect to uninstalling them? Probably bad for power mgmt.

Not only is it working flawlessly for me, but I believe it makes my x300 more power efficient. The most glaring example in my instance is the BitLocker drive encryption which Vistax64 chews through so fast it's almost undetectable. 32-bit OS's work much harder for certain tasks, and this will ultima...

Solution?

I have the same problem with the front left USB port. I'm running Vista X64, and it has been an issue with a keyboard, two memory keys, and my 160gb lacie hard drive. The following registry patches however seem to have resolved it (for the last hour at least): These are available as two separate pat...
