    WXGA or SXGA?

    More real estate - yes. Anytime you go up in resolution you effectively shrink your desktop workspace. This assumes however that both resolutions (WXGA / SXGA) are using the same sized LCD.

    m6805 & Service Pack2

    Technically you can save the BIOS as a file image first using WinFlash and then flash with the new BIOS. In fact the author who has these BIOS images recommends this as a matter of safety.

    I have a laptop battery question...

    Take them to your local recycler in your county or sell them on eBay with a stipulation that they are dead and no good and price them accordingly. Who knows, you might find a chemist who is interested.

    Echo makes a cardbus soundcard capable of 5.1 audio. It is called the 'Indigo'. It is used mainly by musicians and DJ's.
