Either way, I win :) I am not sure it is productive way. There is too many assumptions. Even if it fix problems with disk, I am not sure your WiFi will work after that. Even if assume that problem is localized inside south bridge (you can't know that), there could be problems with other devices (LAN, for example). What's about changing SATA1 with SATA2 - I think you won't notice any difference. Most of disks are not so fast to congest SATA1, while other bonuses like NCQ are not supported by 6.4 any way. -- Alexander Motin
