| Dexter User ID: 77653 United States01/25/2007 05:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | How is your new laptop with heavy video encoding or processing? I have yet to see one that can stand up to 4+ hours of video encoding. My last test was on a Mobile Pentium D laptop...not really a test, more like helping a friend. They cant take the heat, and need to stay out of my kitchen. |

| Spot User ID: 139925  United Kingdom01/25/2007 05:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Do you find the Core Duo processor lives up to the hype ? I expected great increase in overall speed when I replaced my old Dell laptop with a new Samsung top-of-range model but discovered that the hard drive cannot keep up with the rest of the system, creating a bottleneck in data transmission. I could be wrong but that looks like the most plausible reason. I'm smarter than a rock |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 182575 United States01/25/2007 06:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | dual core is faster. for drives my solution was to use the internal drive(s) for operating system and program functions and the connected usb external drives for data. In theory I am getting data in and out at 200mps(usb 2.0). Another trick I do for my video editing is to have one of the externals handle audio and one for video...but that may even be limited by the bottlenck of the USB architecture. I am going to reconfirgure my external drives for RAID 0 and see if data speeds up |

I could be wrong but that looks like the most plausible reason. You might have the battery conservation settings too conservative. The electric motor in the drive is what requires the most juice. I think your point is important - what's the point in a fast laptop computer if you don't enough juice to run the harddrive? |

A solid-state ram drive contains no real moving parts such as a disk platter spinning or waiting to spin. I can vision this being a great leap in technology when we can get terabye of info on a chip the size of a CPU then its on for real! |

What is so cool about them now, is wireless. My wife was sending emails while we were driving down the highway. It is amazing how many people have open wireless networks you can use.
