    Windows 7

    I don't think it's fair to compare the performance of beta software to a final release. There are a lot of things that developers can do to fix performance before the final release hits the shelves/servers.

    Is hyperthreading just the ability run more than one thread at a time with a single core? Is this any different than what the UltraSPARC T2 can do?

    I'm most interested in subjective feel of the drive under heavy multitasking in Windows 2003. I'm not interested in its performance as a data drive, but as a boot drive.

    SSDs - State of the Product?

    I ran my boot drive off of an old 18GB SCSI drive until about a month ago. I never ran out of space on it. I only stored Windows and program files on this drive. I don't play games other than Minesweeper. My new boot drive is 32GB and it is less than a quarter full if I remember correctly. My...

    The race for the US presidency

    Either way, a lot of people seem happy that he won't be able to terrorize us anymore. This has to be the most blatant case of abuse of power I have witnessed in my life. (I'm not old enough to count Nixon)

    SSDs - State of the Product?

    Well, I started from scratch with the Patriot drive and installed Windows 2003 Server. I did most of the fixes from the OCZ forum thread I linked to above and the performance is much than before. There are occasional pauses, but overall I'm much happier. I still need to finish installing all the...

    SSDs - State of the Product?

    I've decided this Patriot drive is unusable as a boot drive. The amount of "stuttering" is unacceptable. I have yet to try all of these tweaks from OCZ. Does anyone know if any of this will actually help enough to make this drive usuable? On another note, if I can't fix this thing soon I might...

    SSDs - State of the Product?

    Yep, same thing here. Too bad, but I guess for $80 I can't expect much more. Maybe in a couple years the SLC drives will come down in price enough that I will actually be able to afford one.

    SSDs - State of the Product?

    I got the drive today and cloned my current drive onto it. It does seem to suffer from a stutter under high IO. Did you notice this, sdbardwick? It does seemfaster than my old boot drive, but that shouldn't be hard to achieve since it's a Seagate Cheetah 36es that has to be 5 years old.
