We need to start some kind of force to get 64 bit Wireless drivers, everything went smooth on a 64 bit Windows install except that, and I'd really like Windows 2003 64 Server on this machine

hello,
I have the m6809 and I have been having problems with the USB ports.
They seem to turn off suddenly and only turn back on when I restart. I am talking about the two ports on the left of the machine.
I am using a wacom tablet and the port keeps dying on me. I have the power scheme set to ALWAYS ON and I don't know which USBhub/port/controller to modify to
prevent the computer from "turning this device off" - from the device manager.
Also, about the 800MHz thing, is there a way for the m6809 to throttle back to 2GHz without flashing the BIOS?
It would be nice to get some extra umph while running/loading documents and applications while on battery.
By the way, nice 1000+ posts. Too large to sift through the messages, even with the CTRL-F (FIND) feature.

No matter what you do you will not be able to run your laptop at the full 2Ghz while on battery. The power draw is far to high for the battery to provide. When on AC power though your laptop should automatically go to full speed when in the 'Always on' power profile. Mind did when I had the M6809 Bios on it.

Also if there were some 64 Bit Anti-Virus software that would be nice....
Wonder what is taking so long? LINUX is so far ahead... maybe we should all just make the switch now before its to late....

I'll tell you what my opinion is on this....Intel is so deeply under the covers with Microsoft they have managed to prevent Microsoft from progressing with a 64 bit version of Windows until Intel has caught up to AMD in their 64 bit consumer chip technology. I guarantee that once Intel releases consumer 64 bit chips for PCs there will be a floodgate of activity from Microsoft and vendors for development and marketing of 64bit compatible software.
Can you imagine what the impact would be on CPU market share if 64bit software was readily available for a 64bit version of Windows and AMD was the only chip that could run it? :laugh:
They told me that for a cracked hinge they'd have to send mine in. I'm going to try again since the other hinge is cracking now.Originally posted by: PolishPaul
In reguards to the three year PSP from Best Buy....you should look into it...the Notebook is a DEVO if it needs service within the first year of owning it. What that means is that the service center (which fixes all the products that need to be fixed for Best Buy) will not service the laptop(99% of the time)...they will just issue you a new one....I have a 6810...and i work at Best Buy so I know all about it...

I got a case of the cracks too. However I am not going to send it in yet. I got the 3 yr plan from BB so I figured I could keep it about two years and then send it in and hopefully get an upgrade.

Ok, I just thought I would let people know, I know thetxstang was wondering about this, I just recieved my laptop back from eMachines, I sent it in to get the screen fixed because of the purple lines, they just replaced the whole screen for me, and yes, they DID upgrade the BIOS to NSF04.P0. So eMachines is upgrading the BIOS when they get the laptops, also, something weird...did yall's laptop come with Microsoft Picture It! Photo Premium 9? Mine didnt when I got it, but they installed it on when they restored it...I found that kind of odd. I just thought I would let people know that.

It seems Windows XP has a problem detecting the battery after the BIOS is flashed, but if you put XP on after you flash the BIOS, it works fine. So flashing to the new BIOS wont do any good unless you are going to format and do a fresh install, unless someone finds a fix for it.
