And what does that translate to in speed when reading a CD? anyone tried the "internal modem"? and what about the R/RW cdrom drive? I'm looking at outfitting myself for serious travelling/work and dropping 6K on the machine is not impossible, but I want to know what I'm letting myself in for. Also does anyone have suggestions for good PC-CARD 10/100 cards? I have failed to find a place on the website (freebsd) that indicates which PCcard NICs are best supported.
