I doubt that it would be noticeable.

It is a simple one that just changes the registry settings.

I don't get it either. :scratch: The AA batteries are cheap enough and last for years. Who wants less capacity? Maybe it would work for a D or C cell with a smaller cell inside.

The upper 1.24GB above 2GB is allocated to a RAM drive.

Obviously the previous installation was full of crap (I saw something about Norton eventually). I was able to re-image it and the computer is fairly normal, though I will have to replace some apps that cannot be used in multiple systems.

They were new ~$2K models in the 12" <3 lb. class exactly 2 years ago. 2-4GB RAM was typical with Vista and the XP was a free downgrade option on DVD. The later versions had the 1.4GHz CPU.

Here is the hard drive supplied with the notebook. :puke-r:

The A-S Z1 has a larger and better ball than the M-10. I'm surprised it is cheaper, since the M-20 is closer to the same size. I have the older B-1, which had a better base than the Z1. I had a Z1 DP for a few days and was disappointed in the panning base smoothness with off-center loads. A...

The CPU is the same (L7100) and I think the amount of RAM is the same (4GB). HD is an unknown small variety. I have not opened up the unit yet since HD replacement is not so simple.

Which spec? It is XP.

It is still struggling, but getting there. I'm really wondering about the HD. It sounds raspy and the HDTach read rate is only 39 MB/sec. Seek time is 19.5 sec. Bluetooth is not recognized. I guess each one is uniquely different. WI-FI is picking up the Mormon 6 channel, so that is...

A sampling of my drives are between 26-41 °C. Many of them report no temperature, no doubt due to the drive controllers used. The SSDs don't report tremperatures either.

They were demonstrating fraud. :rofl:

It is not normal. Windows takes 6-8 minutes to boot, then cannot be closed. Battery is dead. Cannot boot from USB. :grr:

I'm not sure about the old English measurement units, but the temps don't seem very high. What are the specs?

My God this computer is soooo slow!

A slight problem with a USB drive.

Thanks. Unfortunately I am far too clueless to do so.

I'm afraid to look. :) Greg could explain the annoyance more clearly though.

I have no experience with the cheap plates. A cheap lens plate would probably be acceptable with a screw-tightened clamp. However, lever clamps require precision, so I would be more leery. I would not risk the fit or function of a cheap L bracket on a camera. How many lenses and bodies do...

I think he is planning to use the 300/4 AF-S to obtain sharp images. ;)

A good rule of thumb is to examine any activity that takes longer than you are comfortable waiting to complete. If the CPU utilization is less than 100% (or 100% of the usable cores in the application) during that time, the HD is probably a limiting factor. Most users don't really need SSDs in...

I thought about the Wimberley, but that is a bit much for his needs as you mentioned. Using a gimbal head for short lenses typically requires compromises such as using a perpendicular rail on the L bracket. It helps to have a leveling base. Ultimately the whole rig is rather bulky and costly.

Even with a longer lens, you should figure out how to get closer. ;)

When did the Mubs reach 3K? :beer:

Sorry, but no. I threw away quite a few the most recent time I moved again. It used to be the case that the mounting rails were included with the retail drives.

Does that device need drivers for the keyboard only?

The old notebook was cheap. I can't help but give it a try. I forgot to mention that the OS is XP. There are both XP and Vista restore DVDs. If it does not work out I may install Win 7 since there are drivers available. (The series was discontinued only in February.)

Take whatever Uda says about supports with a large block of salt. He doesn't appear to actually own any serious equipment. ;)

I don't understand the point. This is some personal complaint? Is the individual really mentally unstable?

No, I use an older version.

Look at the Kirk BH-3, Markins M-10, or maybe some of the Photo Clam (33-40 range) mid-sized heads. There are some other cheapie heads of dubious reliability that I would be very cautious about. You definitely want to go with a head that has an A-S clamp for future compatibility...

Fortunately it has a handy Fn + CTRL-ALT-DEL option. :)

So the internet connections will need to be reconfigured?

Is there any problem with switching hard drives or images between notebook PCs? The two units are the exact same model with pre-installed OS, so I'm hoping that there should not be any activision issues. I'd like to keep them in different cities and just bring the data back and forth occasionally.

The drives are all still fine now. I have no idea what the problem was - maybe a loose connection?

To complicate matter further, there is yet another recent form factor, the 7 mm height 2.5" drive. Apparently some SSDs (e.g., X25 series) are compatible as well as the Seagate single-platter drives. The form factor is useful for SSDs since the circuit boards do not need much height. It is...

384 MB/sec ;'

Does SAS really achieve 384 MB/sec. transfers from a 3Gbps port, or is that some vendor BS? SATA only reaches 270-280 sustained at the same connection speed and I thought that SAS had even more overhead.

I'm hardly shocked, and rather amused. However, I can think of some airports in Africa and South America where they probably would not be amused. ;)

3D glasses can cause headaches, nausea, vomiting and worse.

I don't hang around airports overnight. Possibly she was a victim of a weather-related flight cancellation. I suppose it all depends on the country.

Is that young lady for real? What about the security forces?

Well now I don't know.

HTTP Error 503 - Service unavailable

Yeah. It is a comon problem that returns are not properly inspected. :(

Who was the idiot that redesigned the 2L Coke bottle so that is does not fit in the refrigerator door like a standard bottle? :tdown:

The new retail packaging for HDs is BS. :mad:

I don't know the details, but some large computer systems are only supposed to use so many cores without increased costs. There was a story in the ITG that someone was up to no good trying to overuse the CPUs/cores, but ended up screwing up the system and getting sacked. I think it may have...
