Dirge asked a simple question, whether SSDs make the computer more responsive. You responded with comments about size, weight, temperature and noise, inserted a screenshot from a meaningless synthetic benchmark, and then spammed the thread with 363 KB of images. For the "retared" (sic) comment: fuck...

Why would you ever upgrade your computer? To play games occasionally. That is more or less the only point of upgrading computers. I'm sure you thought your previous computer was great at the time, or is your current one the first? I've been through enough generations of upgrade to know the differen...

I open and close browsers, office documents, photoshop and other programs many times throughout the day. Everything happens almost instantaneously. It makes for an extremely responsive system. I do that as well with a regular HDD, and it also happens almost instantaneously. Here, I have a trial of ...

Seems that Matija thinks all us SSD owners are deluded :roll: Because you are :) It's almost the same as with people overclocking their CPUs to over 9000!!! MHz. Yes, there are indeed certain scenarios in which you can notice the massive speed increase (and extremely easy to prove it in benchmarks)...

Intel Celeron E3x00
X-bit labs benchmarked the new Celerons. Display: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/celeron-e3300.html Print: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/print/celeron-e3300.html The new CPUs use 20W at full load. Overclocking at stock voltage pushed the E3300 from 2.5 to 3.3 GHz. Overall very i...

It's all in the cache, it doesn't slow anything down. Like I said, I used a machine with an X25, and it only felt (a lot!) faster when doing things nobody ever does, like starting four apps at the same time as a virus scanner is running and an archive is being extracted somewhere. Don't get me wrong...

Browsers: non-issue. There's this thing called "write cache". DLL checking / registry / what not: non-issue. There's this thing called "read cache". Boot time: non-issue. Computers usually boot once per day. Game level load times: non-issue. Relevant only for some gamers and in some games. I underst...

I think it would be better if you used a massive heatsink like the Xigmatek, coupled with a 500 rpm Slip Stream fan. As for the graphics card, I'd recommend a passive ATI 4670. Just try to find one that underclocks and undervolts properly. Add a 800 rpm exhaust fan, and you're all set. Of course, af...

OK, that much is obvious, but what does it do on low level? Logically thinking, the password encrypts something. It cannot be just the MBR, because that wouldn't do much. So, I can guess that it encrypts everything on the drive; the CPU won't do that (too risky), so it's probably the built-in contro...

No fancy stuff. A simple, stupid box, like this one: http://www.pioneer.at/eur/products/archive/DVR-555H-S/index.html (but preferably cheaper, this one is 250€). HTPC... It would cost a fortune and require silly software and IR remote control and... I'm really not sure I want to go in that directi...

Quiet DVRs
For a while now I've been pondering the idea of buying my parents a DVR with a HDD inside. They are still using an old VCR (mother dearest even managed to find new VHS tapes for purchase somewhere!), which carries the standard "I think it's on that tape, no wait, it's there, let's rewind, it's not t...

I still can't understand why that happens. It makes absolutely no sense.dhanson865 wrote:Oh and for anyone that has the 34nm Intel SSD don't use a BIOS password or more importantly if you have a BIOS password don't change it or remove it.
