I'm using a Thinkpad T31 with a P4 at 2GHz and playing back HD Videos doesn't work flawlessly from the encrypted partition. I might use a 2nd HDD connected to the media bay, but this would mean that I need to copy the data to this disk. Using a vpn1411 seems like a good option. I don't use the minipci slot for WLAN (I've a PCMCIA card that I only insert if I need to use it), so it's free. But I wonder if the traffic to and from the card would saturate the PCI bus and lead to other problems. What do you think? Cheers Christian Walther
