Compared to T42 14", the T43 14" is about 20% brighter (with Bios set to bright). But the contrast is still the same.
The T43 15" flexview is about 10% even brighter than the T43 14", and the contrast is much higher.

Nice!!! Somehow I can't download the 1.03a. The 1.02 version works very well. Now I'm using the WD 80gb and no error message.

On the WD website, the scorpio 80gb posts a noise that's lower than Hitachi and Seagate. At first I thought it was bulls, but after hearing all three side by side, it's really quieter. I'm using the WD right now.

Thread crap indeed. but its a good concern.
My other option is to buy a bananas cpu from ebay, and keep the dothan in the drawer. But this seems to me like waste of earth's resources.

Hi AssPenny,

I've been thinking over how to get the cpu to eachother, and realized that the shipping procedure would be really complicated. So may be I should try to find someone in the LA area to avoid all the hassle.

I bought a t42 1.7g last week, only because of the cheap price from ohio state. But I don't really need a fast processor.
Would anyone be willing to swap a banias 1.5g or 1.6g with me?
