IF you like that? You ought to see their designs of DESKTOP machines...

* Their ideas are a LOT like my own, & mostly I say that, because they equip them w/ SOLID-STATE DISKDRIVES...

Solid State?

Solid State?

RamDrives/RamDisks, albeit NOT ones from software (which cut into your SYSTEM RAM), but ones on a card w/ RAM on them!

The one I use is older (PCI 2.2 bus slot used), but, there are SATA I/II units out there, & soon? A PCI-Express unit x1 slot type (fast in burst AND seek/access - perfect combo imo, & faster than what I use now, in the CENATEK RocketDrive).

These units get recognized by the system & OS as another harddisk... but, one that has UNBELIEVABLE seek/access times on it!

(1000's of times faster than std. mechanical hdd's are)

Good stuff, if you can make use of them!

(There are many uses for these)

E.G.-> I put my pagefile.sys onto the 1st partition of mine!

Then, on 2nd partition?? I place:

%temp% ops

browser caches

logging by OS & apps/services

print spooling location

%comspec%

Onto its 2nd partition - for SPEED, mainly!

(To not to clutter up my first Raptor X raid 0 setup w/ that data, & also to free it for other operations it does!))

* Good stuff, & it WORKS!

APK

P.S.=> L computers COST a great deal, but they are HELLISH in design... apk

And it's estimated to have a battery life of two and a half minutes. :laugh:

newtekie1 · Dec 13, 2006

Oh now, there will be no batteries. This thing runs on the souls of orphans... :roll:

Take how much you think they are worth, now quadrople it.

Buy a IDE to CF converter... only about $5-10. Buy a "prosumer" CF card, only about $100 for a reasonable "partition" size. Make sure you get HIGH HIGH speed. There you go! Not as pricy as you thought.
