    Parts in a dream computer system

    Sure, 8 GiB will do fine. I wanted to be a bit excessiv. I'm well aware of the need for 64-bit code for applications that need more than 2 or 3 GiB of memory. Or you can run several 32-bit applications. Is intel's double-dual-core-on-one-chip solution really preferrable to 2 cpus, each with...

    Do you believe consiousness is an quantum phenomenon?

    It's an interesting topic. I don't belive it's a quantum phenomenon. All lifeforms in Star Trek is scanned on quantum-level when it has to be transported. I'm not sure but I think the generally used it for all bio-matter. For real inanimate objects atomic-level is sufficient (the way...

    Superfetch

    The nice thing with Vista's sleep is that it actually writes down to the harddrive, and then go to suspend-to-RAM. So if there is a power loss (or the laptop gets it's battery ripped out) you don't loose your "session". But at the same time you don't need to wait for the long time a normal...

    You guys with slot load DVD drives.
