SS HDs get pretty close

 

[SlickSnake]

...And Intel still uses subpar graphics chips in notebooks that can not play new PC games like Age of Conan.

The list goes on.

Not when you've got 2GB of RAM.


With all the background stuff I have set to load, my PC takes about 3 minutes to boot, and that's with the benefit of a 4-drive RAID5 setup. I get sustained read speeds that most hard drives can only burst at.

You must not know how an operating system works.

I think the 4 seconds it takes for my laptop to come out of standby is pretty damn fast.

 

[Journer]

what about those new memory resistors HP has? give them 5-10 years and technology will be completely different

 

[Mr Pickles]

Have you seen a Virtual Machine boot up?

 

[Ricochet]

Floppy drive still in use. Come on, why do I need to put RAID drivers on a floppy?

No unified configuration for those reset, power, hd LED, and other jumpers. One plug should handle them all.

That just means you have waaaaaaaay too much background crap.

I put my Vista on sleep and it pretty much shuts down completely. But when I push a key on my keyboard, the system comes back to life instantly~~!

 

[AmpedSilence]

USB key

ASUS makes a hub connector you plug them all into, then plug that into the board.

You can slipstream the RAID drivers into a winXP disc using the nlite tool.

No cold fusion + no Mars base + no hyperdrive + no transporters = FAIL

Also the fact that we still have (human against human) wars is TOTALLY weak!

I found uh, other bedroom activities to be, uh, more enjoyable.

Intel is trying to help you.

Take the hint.
