I have only 4GB of ram on my laptop but I also used the cmd line disable to get rid of the hibernation file. Was reserving just over 3GB of space and it took a reboot to clear it off.
Everyone has different needs, and it can be a good idea for many to disable it. Maybe not everyone but it was...
Installed the 160GB G2 in my Macbook Pro, thing just screams now.
Divided it into a 100GB OS X 10.6 partition, and a 50GB Windows 7 Pro partition mainly for games and the Zune software. Wouldn't even mess around with Bootcamp on a platter drive, just took too long to restart between operating...
Been very impressed by BLT. Could tell they're hammered with calls but were very professional and actually knew something about the situation with these drives.
Same thing happened to me. Amazon finally cancelled my order, and then I ordered one from BLT on Monday morning. When I ordered their stock server said they were expecting a large shipment in today, then this afternoon I checked and saw it was constrained.
Couple hours later BLT called to...
I'd really like to know this as well. I read somewhere that Intel was trying to tweak their Matrix Storage Drivers but nothing definitive.
Would love to get a pair of 80s for my desktop in Raid 0, but not if Trim isn't going to work.
Those two were the big reasons I always used to shop at newegg. But the past year or so their customer service line has ceased to be as helpful, at least in the cases I've called. They still have fantastic shipping speed though.
Who knows if embracing the ebay pricing model will benefit them...
I'm not really qualified to argue that point. They probably are beyond niche, but I still think their main customers are knowledgeable geeks, not sorority girls and soccer moms and businessmen who're cheating on their wives. You know, everyone else.
I still think knowledgeable geeks are a...
Those are slightly different business models though. Both of those examples have value added for their customers (debatable value), and offer products you can't really get anywhere else.
Apple sells a unique OS, a unique design aesthetic, and a unique level of pretentiousness and false...
Newegg is still (to the best of my knowledge) a pretty niche retailer. They used to be the go-to online store for computer builders and geeks everywhere, but I can't imagine their customer base has grown far beyond that niche.
I'd be willing to wager a huge portion of their customers are...

I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed in the online computer parts store I've used for years and given tens of thousands of dollars.
They're free to charge as much as they want, and I'm free to never shop at Newegg again. I expect to see this kind of way-over-MSRP on ebay. Not from a...
