I like O&O defrag also

only have DFI A64 nF3 mobo; 3 dimms

26th May 2005, 13:02

What's O&O ?

What! No vast, underground, nuclear-proof lab?

When are you get that DFI A64 nF4 mobo Ultra-D ?

Never :-)
spend enough money on hardware to last me a life-time

Sorry, no time to test the swap file

works only with RAMdisk v8 and above

Yeah, looked for it one or two years ago, it's called SSD (Solid State Disks).

In my opinion, only viable when we finally get that f*cking MRAM...

MRAM has all advantages we can dream of:

° non-volatile
° as fast or faster then Static RAM
° as cheap as Dynamic RAM
° similar densities as Dynamic RAM

So, you got MRAM, you can make THE SSD

Too much money on hardware? But you are a professional !

You're not shopping. You are investing! (sounds better doesn't it?)

To XploitedTitan:
Indeed, they are taking the piss with those prices, and until then we are f***ed (to use your rough but precise language) in the hard drive performance sector.

Yeah, sorry for my language

I don't hide behind eufemisms ^^

The fact that these new NAND flash disks have no mechanical parts anymore should already be enough for the power consumption to drastically lower. Though as with any technology not already mainstream the prices are not worth it for PC users.
Also you data is safer against random accidents. Imagine yourself having spinning conventional HD's and then shake them a bit. Then imagine yourself after that

That problem is partly solved i think. I also heard this kind of external data storage was used in tanks in the first gulf war because of its shockproof status though it could just be some kind of myth

The MRAM is also something i'm eagerly awaiting for

I'm not a pro on memory usage but i can already imagine some of the possibilities.
