    Online check in never works out of Riyadh. The final leg, from Kathmandu - Paro, doesn't have online check in. Therefore, I just have Mumbai to Kathmandu completed. Seats 10A and B, furtherest to the front, LHS so should be good mountain views:)

    Windows 7 boot to Firefox 4 on my RAID0 640GBx2: 3 minutes(this was a fresh install)
    Same on the SSD(I have a SATA III card): 30 seconds :eek::eek::eek:
    It also added 30 minutes to my laptop's battery's life (batterymark)
    Thanks G_G :D

    Hope you have a great time, watch out for an IPL match when you are in India. Even if you don't go you might hear the 40000 strong crowds :)

    You had 640Gbx2 and now 80Gb ? Do you have enough free space ?

    No,now its 640x2 and 80gb; 80gb holds OS, Adobe Master Suite CS5(scratch to the RAID), traktor, Pro Tools, Visual Studio and Pidgin.
    Both configs I had the exact same boot configs, same startup programs, had firefox.exe start up on boot.

    Thanks :)
    No, I spent quite a bit of money on a GeForce GTX 570 so I bought the SATA III only card (plus it came with external ports)

    I'm intending to buy a laptop with a 64Gbx2 SSD Raid0. Do you know if it's possible to change one of the two SSDs with a normal HD (with more Gb) and not using the RAID0 ?

    Yeah, you can swap out the SSD for a mechanical HD but you would break the RAID0 so you would have to reinstall Windows and everything
