Due to the way SSDs work (and flash memory in general). Your data is unlikely to last in an unused drive for more than a couple of years (flash is not a good archival storage medium). If the drive periodically runs current through the storage medium then your data is safe though (ie if you have...
The R5 is the C1 in a retail box.
There are actually 3 different models of X25s
http://www.intel.com/cd/channe...nand/feature/index.htm
01 = 7.0mm thick
C1 = 01 + 2.5mm spacer to fit in standard 9.5mm height
R5 = C1 + retail packaging
Unfortunately I have never had a system before with more than 4GB ram (the one sitting next to me waiting for the G2 to finish being built is the first non-dell-laptop I have had in 5 years since my desktop HDD visited the "I'm not gonna give you any of your data back" place due to the drive...
If you are looking for single player, the Earth 21xx franchise is all really fun. From what I remember, multiplayer isn't very well balanced but apparently there is at least a patch for 2160.
TA+CC is still the best macro-style RTS in existance, and Starcraft the best micro-style.
I never played Supreme Commander (haven't had a powerful enough machine to play it since it came out; this changes tomorrow with my new box). It was made by the same core designers as TA and so people...
I've never heard of Spiral RAM. The only thing I can think of that might be related is a relatively new, still in research phase, way of doing MRAM called Spin Transfer Torque MRAM: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M...e_Random_Access_Memory
Apparently I am wrong after looking into it (there is G2 X18s, there is not G1 X18s).
The G1 X18s appear to function exactly like their X25 counterparts nearest I can tell (I don't know of any reviews). The X18s are made for even smaller devices like tablets and netbooks. It looks like the...
My 160 G2 from Newegg should be here tomorrow. :)

I will be running a ramdisk for my development work, along side my G2 for everyday tasks. I never would have run one before because I have been running into the win32 4GB barrier for a few years now and iram cost too much. But now I have 12GB of ram and I expect to rarely run past 6GB for the...

ZZF is out of G201 and G2C1, each currently priced at 433.99 (curiously they...
The G24 just arrived:
I like it.
From 2 feet away there is a noticeable darkening between the bottom and top of the display because of the more limited viewing angles; after adjustments this the affect is basically gone. Zero stuck pixels. It is a lot brighter than my laptop monitor but...
prediction:
Intel G4 640GB Q4 2010 - Q1 2011 at $450
around the same time:
OCZ some_new_brand 500 at $200 (512GB)
the Intel drive will be about twice as performant as the OCZ version overall (though the OCZ will have a much higher sequential write speed).
At that time the OCZ...
