How long should I wait - June 16?

When will it be safe to buy the new SandyForce-based drives? Prices are quite reasonable. I had a few in the Cart momentarily but then I rebooted.

I was thinking that once one is outside of the larger cities.

MLC with 25nm flash? Great.

Wow, that is a horror. The estimate is that there are hundreds of dead bodies. Insurance claims must be massive. How many hurricanes were there?

Is that a euphemism?

:doh: I mean watts, i.e., 17W is the TDP or whatever they call it nowadays. I'm assuming that the performance on battery may be less than maximum to conserve power. I almost always use the mains power though.

I only have the one old hexagonal core i7 in the desktop. It's not the Sandy Core though. The notebooks I have now take about 35-40 sec. to convert one old-school 21MP RAW file. The future is coming soon and I would not be able to handle it.

I'm not convinced about Chinese ghosts. Maybe it is a scam.

WTF? Maybe I am up to stage 3. :crap:

Sorry to here that, but I know many businesses that failed in the first year or so from being under financed. :(

I would hope the 2.6GhZ and newfangled Sandy Core is worth twice the speed. I'm not sure if it runs at 2.6 continuously when plugged in, but it should be possible for even a small notebook to handle a 17KW CPU.

I'm starting to be annoyed with my old pair of sub-notebooks and the 2-generations on replacement P771 is a question mark. Of course I would be losing one of the two hard drives, but gaining a lot more in CPU compared to the sluggish Intel L7100. In the past there was a very nice forum on the...

I don't know. I'm going to finally have more tests done in June.

I think you mean stents.

Maybe I'll buy one and not send it to you. :lol:

I wonder how this card will do? :D

That is what I keep thinking, but how long to wait? By the time the technology is great I'll be long gone.

Hey that was Chrysler with the famous rich Corinthian leather. :) I should know.

:) I have a special rule for those people. ;) Do you also black the BCC? That seems to be popular now.

Yeah. :oops:

Then they are pretty similar. :)

I bet you never used a SBLOO much less a PLOOT. ;)

So would 11-11 vets, but they still have the days...

Is that from a film?

All the USB 2.0 SDHC readers I have are also limited to about 20 MB/sec. even with the 45 MB/sec. SDHC cards. It must be the controllers. :( It's mostly a curiousity though since I only use the SDHC as the occasional second (mirror) card.

UDMA of course.

I don't understand what you mean, maybe EF-S?

Have you tried a CF card such as Sandics Extreme Pro?

Maybe one Excel table or something for comparison? :)

512MB. Those were the days. :mrgrn:

Meh. There are better options for $180.

I remember Elvira, but that was about 30 years ago. :)

I doubt it would have both restore disks. Anyway, that is not an upgrade.

Wow. That truly sucks. Maybe Seagate knows something.

Are those the newer generation drives? Just about the oldest drives I have are the 2009 model 400GB x 5 platter Hibachis. Two of them have been running almost continuously since. It think they were better with lower density platters.

Can you activation one and then the other later? I doubt it.

And you cannot put in a $15 PCIe controller. :skepo:

I don't think there is any upgrade potential.

Why are you using the SandBridge ports after knowing that they are defective? :crap:

1024x600 is hopeless for Windows. :tdown: My 8-year old 10.6 sub-notebook has a 1280x768 display.

The last time I checked 768<800.

That depends on who the user is. If there are data files and the client pays, then they should be retrieved if possible. The OS is probably hosed.

Converting files to PDF also takes more resources than I originally thought.

Wow, time is flying by. That show ended 32 years ago now.

Yes, Home Depot would be better. :oops:

The question is whether the user has a desktop PC at home. Some students have only the one notebook for everything and need some decent processing and other capabilities that netbooks just cannot provide.

Huh? I know you were too young, but that is even how it was promoted for TV. They took the old Canadian cowboy from Bonanza or whatever it was and a couple of young guys for the fighter pilots. It was supposed to be like Star Wars, but better. However, after the pilot it became increasingly...

Oh Merc., you like to live dangerously. :o I've had so many rough Easters. The worst was 1988 when there was the great flood in the Condo. Now today I broke a toilet. I hope the Office Depot is open.

Say what? What does the Battlestart Galactica have to do with Star Trek? It was a rip off of Star Wars.
