my d500 with centrino...the wireless is the worst thing i ever seen...i
currently have it disabled and using a dlink wireless bus card.
I have tried all the new drivers and everything...it will lose the signal
after 15 minutes and i have reboot the laptop to reconnect.....
buy a pentium M processor but stay away from centinio....that my
experience.....
