I miss my Quad

30 tabs of porn at the same time? that's crazy man.

No point being an old man if you can't be a horny old man!

:whiste:

Yeah with a smaller SSD, you've got to fiddle around... moving data back and forth, in order to take advantage of it. It's easier to build up a conventional RAID with plenty of storage. Works best for a desktop.

Not if we ever get our hands on this :

I'm still waiting for it dammit! :|

At home I use the desktop in my sig. At work I use a Dell notebook with a 2.5GHz (or therabouts, can't recall) i5. The i5 is a complete dog. I can't stand using it.

Yep, my work machine is a Stinkpad (like that term, stealing it). It has a Core i5 quad 1st gen (2410?) and a spindle. Thing chokes constantly under my daily workload. I get home to do extra work and it just goes by like nothin'.

When I am, ahem, "researching" the field of acts of human recreation of the close and personal kind I tend to find myself in the positon of having a browser session open with 20-30 tabs...and yes all those flash ads really do hog up the CPU usage :hmm:

Am I the only one who has noticed this? :sneaky:

Maybe you should have so many of these open. When they're big, they take more memory. :sneaky:

And I guess that difference is due to HDD with ssd...Recently bought a X220 but I knew I would have no patience dealing with the HDD only so installed OS on mSATA SSD. It's great. Decent appliation load speed and no hickups and the pre-installed HDD gives you enough space for some media files. (and documents, but they dont' really use much space. 😉)

Umm...didn't Intel basically enable this with their SRT (ssd caching) on z68 chipset motherboards?

The 2410m is a 2nd gen. What you probably have is the 480m. Just a guess.

The key is Z68 motherboards. ExpressCache would work on everything, which would definitely be nice for folks still on X58 / Nehalem.
