A small amount of dust in the lens is not going to affect image quality. Take a look here for some examples.

If you feel the need to remove the dust then you can give this a shot.

I think the double 25% off is dead. This is what I got this morning.
Intel® Core 2 Duo T7200 (2.00GHz, 4MB L2 Cache, 667MHz FSB)
15.4 inch UltraSharp Wide Screen SXGA+ Display with TrueLife
2GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHZ, 2 DIMM
256MB ATI MOBILITY RADEON® X1400 HyperMemory...
Patriot at Newegg. I could not get the Corsair ram working on this board. The Patriot sticks work great right out of the box. I've read that people are getting 800MHZ+ with these sticks.
This memory is not on the QVL. The C4 and PRO versions are on it but the plain 6400 1GB sticks are not. I tried the memory in different slots and different number of sticks. I finallly went out and bought some DDR2-533 Kingston to test with. The Kingston works flawlessly.
What is everyone using for memory in this board? I tried the Corsair DDR2-800 5-5-5-12. It was not compatible. I tried two different sets, no go. I could use some recommendations. I would like 667 or 800. Thanks.
