Interesting.

The XP64 is OEM. There is no there version I could find. Cost of the OS is not the issue. The installed apps are the issue.

Too large is just as bad as too small IME.

So they are engineers of a kind? I'm too far out of the loop. I was interviewed once by a guy that asked an odd question about separating a mixture of liquids and three kinds of solids. The correct answer was irrelevant. Apparently they just wanted some logical attempt to show brain...

I have two of the XS LCD 1300 units. How is the RS different from the XS LCD? The features you mentioned are similar. I thought the RS was just an update of the XS.

Thanks, but I got new batteries a while ago. One of the units is in use and the other is standing by for when one UPS or another conks out.

There are a few ULV i7 CPUs in the 12"/3 lb. class notebooks, but they are expensive and native speed is not fast. Effectiveness of Turboboots is dependent on hardware and usage.

Which sort of jobs require that sort of mental masturbation? Are they entry level positions?

Is it possible to replace the motherborad without buying new operating systems? Meanwhile we are stuck here with only the old 4.2GHz system that has almost no hard drives and a minimal installation.

How many could there be? It just takes a couple of tries. I had some professional Catholics in the family, too. ;)

I killed the computer. :cry: I give up. Bye now.

IIRC some WD external drives were crappy on FW interfaces. Perhaps it is the bridge board.

I had too many SILENT DATA CORRUPTION issues with FW 800 as well as the occasional delayed write failures. :mad: I don't think it is critical to your situation anyway, because something else is a bottleneck. FW400 is good for 40 MB/sec. sustained. Did you try another FW cable?

OK, OK. I can't go on forever. :)

It sounds scary. What if rapists and serial killers are using that service?

Whenever it was, I bought five. Four were functional and one was a nightmare.

Chat roulette?

Eh? Wasn't it like that for a time last year? I want to see good deals on the 2TB. :)

It is just a hobby for me nowadays. ;) The 5D II was only used for testing about a year ago and I never really liked it. In basic experiments it became obvious that AF tracking accuracy and the tiny diamond area would be unacceptable for following and composing the cheetahs or even lions, so I...

I have no use for video or firmware updates. I need to ditch the 50D, 30D, 5D II, 1Ds MK II, and some DRebel, and then get a 7D.

Camcorder? The lens is rather slow for that purpose. :)

I don't know what it with that announcement, but the 40V has been at Newegg for qute a while. Perhaps there was not an official release.

blingPad

Damn. How do you post so fast?

Really? I would make no such assumption in the current century.

That is a typical limitation of laptops.

The new Sigmas are just reaching the stores. I don't know yet if they are any good.

What is the STR with Atto on that chipset?

I'm glad it is working. Yet it is still such a waste to use an X25-E like that. Why?

Who is John?

What a bunch of idiots! :tdown: So one must still work tethered while the battery pack recharges or carry around one of the oversized, inefficient, external 3rd-part packs. Then after the battery loses capacity after a couple of years it requires service to replace.

With only 4GB of RAM, a 64-bit OS will do very little if anything better than a 32-bit one and I doubt that you need 8GB in a notebook. However, it doesn't hurt much if your apps work properly.

I much prefer the newest reply to be on top. It is too difficult to scroll through 18 pages of messages over 2 years and 8 people to find what I want, especially on the BlackBerry.

Did Apple ever figure out that notebook users want to switch battery packs?

I don't know the films. In the late 60s early 70s MI was the show I watched on Saturday nights. Some people liked the Landau-McBain pair, though I did not care so much.

Did you try using a standard hard drive? BTW, it is blasphemy to use an X25-E in that toy machine. :( Why not use the Vortex?

I don't understand the trailer metaphor. If not Thunderbird, what is a better e-mail app for those not able to use web-based e-mail?

:cry: No more missions.

What is that next to the modem?

Careful, Apple may have that phrase copyrighted and sue you. :)

I'm thinking about the 7D now instead of the 1D MK IV. Assumption is that the 1Ds MK IV will be here later this year. Hmm.

You might search for a laptop that accepts two drives - one fast SSD for C: and one larger drive for data.

The younger folk will probably go for that. However, I sit at an ergonomic workstation if I am on the PC. I don't want to be balancing a tablet on my knees, reading in bed or working in other inefficient, uncomfortable modes.

It is a good question and timely for me as well. I'm still using Oulook on a couple of systems, but am also in need of a new e-mail app on one machine since Office activation is gone.

I don't use PATA SSDs. I mentioned that there was still some development in that area. I'm not running a server from the laptop, so the demands are not so high. ;) I also don't place much stock in the scaling of STR benchmarks. IOMeter random reads/writes are a better, but still rough...

Sometimes you put a Rebel on the 800/5.6. :)

WTF the Passmark is I don't know/care, but I seriously doubt that a 30 minute job on your current computer will be done in about 3 minutes on the new one. I have not delved into how well the turbo boosters work in a notebook, but there are usually limitations on battery power if decent run time...

Did they service your body?

Is that a common problem or did it happen to you? :bigeek:
