Disable your pagefile already!!

With the cheap RAM these days just upgrade to 4gigs or more and turn off that damn pagefile. Winholes works much better and faster without one...

nEEDS RAM DISK SSD COMBO 'Ultee

THats a pretty good idea 'Ultee Major,
It is going to take them a while to develope it, too expensive for now.
BUt....
locating all temp files on a ram drive, and all other essential profile and OS bits on a PCIe Raid card would
1/help cut down on page file and swapfile fragmentation, by not having 160,000 useless IE files in temp
2/extending the imited writes of SSD by locating constantly changing files in RAM, no power, no shite
3/ even better, get sUPER DUPER 'Ultee RAM DISK SSD COMBO+1 smaller drive, AND locate swap file there on small
3/anyhting that raids ssd's is ultee tastic

@Erick

Keep your brain and organs, man. What you need to do is be a volunteer for brain/machine interface research. It's purpose is to help out paralyzed people by taking signals directly from the brain and sending them straight to the muscles by by-passing the damaged portion of the nervous system.

I know people are screaming OFF-TOPIC, but think of the potential advantage you'd have if your moves were made instantaneously in a video game instead of having to wait for the message to make it from your eyes to your brain, and then down to your fingers. You could be posting,"I pwned you, noob!!!" before they even realize they're dead.

Uses for SSD....

sOMEONE SHOULD SELL ssd with Mainboard combo, just to get numbers right. how about main that takes delete files & items gone with cleaning to HDD, Also unused files that are of no use in most normal useage. keep empty files so you can insert empty file when asked. have SSD Sata primary non volitile memory & sata II HDD for more & More. maybe 2 primary or four+, yet MADNESS Would R.A.I.D. 5 SSD like that, if its even possible. Yet you Buy Level, one two or five primary SSD Sata II, Then bunch O' reg sata hdd, maybe skip their raid entirely, more cabnet of workhouse than Brains Themselves. Meant station house not work , ?Horse. data by lighting,com.stewaie, stewaie drashek

@beecker - why do you think that you can't boot from them

They appear to the system as a SATA disk controler. If they've got enough of a BIOS to appear at boot time, plus you can install a suitable driver in your OS, then you can boot off of them.

Dear Hard Drive,

You served us well but your time is up. Your spinning platters have served me well since my first RLL 20 Megabyte drive. But alas all good things come to an end.

Rest in peace my good friend.

Um, you can't boot from them....

Still can't boot from them. Cool, expensive, but useless to boot from. I'd think they would make better use as sql drives... or web servers where they can be re-imaged at the drop of a hat..

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
