Hm, that modding scares me off somehow. Now slightly adjusting the approach let me ask you 1) How can I disable onboard memory on a 600e/600x? 2) can I use the 600x mainboard where the 600e-board is now, i.e. in the 600e case? can that be easily swapped out? -- Aufgepasst: Sind Ihre Daten beim Online-Banking auch optimal geschützt?
