    Well, does the fancy tablet with keyboard have the capability? It seems like the PP are always being updated at the last moment.

    Once you add a keyboard to a tablet, isn't it about the same size/weight as an ultrabook?

    Pagefile and SSDs

    I've been using an SSD for the pagefiles in multiple computers for almost 5 years now with no problems. The company I work for has been using 100% SSDs in laptops for thousands of users since 2009 with very low failure rates. I think it is pretty common for large companies that buy Dells...

    I'm not a fan of the Doors either. I remove them for access to the drive racks more than the optical drive.

    Both tablets and laptops are used. Most commercial clients are interested in past work, who you did the work for, and years of experience in the industry.

    I would not buy anything less than 32GB at this point. There is a relatively inexpensive 24-85/3.5-4.5 VR and also an older 24-120/4 VR.

    question Is keeping an AC powered laptop in sleep mode when not using it, a harmful practice?

    Sleep mode is fine. You should not need to activate that manually, just set the delay time in the power settings.

    Intel release schedule for upcoming Xeon processor

    :D Oh, I must be confusing that with the Area 54 legend. Will the Haswell have 6-8 cores, too? Unfortunately, Xeon CPUs do nothing for me.

    There are optional alternatives for some oaths such as the swearing for the bible in court. One would think that there are similar alternative texts for a citizenship oath. Anyway, oaths don't mean much to criminals.

    Intel release schedule for upcoming Xeon processor

    What about the Roswell, or is that later on? I just want the most cores in an unlocked CPU, whatever will be the new Extreme. I don't want to spend more than about a grand.

    SSDs - State of the Product?

    They seem to confuse GB and TB. Maybe the costs will drop eventually, but we will suffer if the demand is high now.

    Nichia Develops 60 Lumen Per Watt White LED

    I'm not a fan of only 2700K and 5000K options. For living areas I'd like something in between 3000-3500K. There are CFLs at 3000 and 4100K. 5000K is fine for working areas, but 1000 lumens is not much. For example a 4 x F32T8 ceiling fixture puts out 10,000-12,000 lumens. I could live with...

    SSDs - State of the Product?

    Well I'm not questioning the math, but the 40GB/day should be tied to a certain drive capacity unless the controller self destructs after a preprogrammed amount of writes. Of course it is a micron SSD. :lol: I'd feel better with an Intel or a Samsung, but they have not announced anything yet...

    SSDs - State of the Product?

    I just looked at the endurance. According to the spec sheet the total writes are 72TB regardless of capacity! Only could only fill the 960GB drive ~75 times and it would wear out. :( That might last me a few months, but not worth the cost. Is that figure a mistake?

    I'm not sure what means. Are yields poor?

    SSDs - State of the Product?

    I hope so. Cost is not really the issue, but I understand it drives the market capacity. I'll no longer have the 1TB drive requirement by the time the unit cost is $100 as JTR wants.

    Is there any news on the SSD front? I could really use a 1 TB so another drive can be switched around.

    Yes, it is an early Sand**** 2200. The drive is only 120GB so filling with tubers and then trashing it is the best option. Thanks.

    Seagate does not have a News Thread

    The low-pricked desktop systems mostly have a single 1-2TB 7200 RPM drive, and they are sold in large volumes. I suspect that >50% of desktop machines still do not have an SSD.

    I agree that 7200 RPM mobile drives are not much faster than the corresponding 5400 RPM drives, but the difference between 7200 and 5400 RPM is more dramatic with 3.5" drives. IIRC Seagate has killed off the low RPM desktop drives.

    When it goes out the computer Locks up sometimes,and it does reappear on h#rd reboot. My be the drive is dying, but it's odd. There are no delayed write errors either.

    You probably have it better than I do. My options are sluggish DSL or unreliable cable. They have been talking about fiber opticals for five years, but at this rate I will be dead before it comes to the neighborhood. :(
