Re: w00t Beta Testing w00t
Yep, every time you power down it needs to be reloaded. But ghost casting makes it quick.

Re: w00t Beta Testing w00t
Maybe the next gen of OS will see a return to having the the OS on ROM. I always thought that made a big difference in speed. And now days the technology is getting to where having several Gig of ROM is very doable.
The biggest benefit would be that the systems themselves would need to be designed with some sort of conformity. That would in return stabalize the PC market that is just progressing too fast for the general public. (Why do you think consoles are popular? two reasons, Price and the fact they they remain a stable platform for several years instead of becomming obsolete as soo as you make the purchase.
Oh well, my vote is to go the OS on ROM rute.
Nuf said, Cheers!
P.S. But what does all this have to do with the SE5 beta? Nothing So might I suggest we start a new thread about "The future of PC's and Super Rigs."

Re: w00t Beta Testing w00t
maybe not ROM, but repackaging an OS as some sort of flashable bios extension might be nice (you need to be able to easily patch it)... what about a name like aios (advanced i/o system), or maybe aiospabocus for win-like OSes (advanced i/o system, plus a bunch of completely useless stuff). 
Uhm... I like "aiospabocus"  |

Re: w00t Beta Testing w00t
Actually, this discussion could be loosly related to the se5 beta, we are discussing sys specs after all, my bad, sorry.
..Speaking of sys specs, I just bought myself a new comfy high-back chair for my computer station. Now I'll be really comfortable for the beta and beyond!!

Re: w00t Beta Testing w00t
Oh shoot, I forgot the other laptop I have. I also have a Dell C610 (1ghz P3, 512mb RAM, 16mb video card) laptop I could've put into the application...
I really got to get my act together.
