I still have a watercooled case with a Storm block that I didn't use in 10 years.

I want to re-use the Storm block. Is there any mounting material or DIY instruction available to mount it on a...

It's a svn version from a couple months back. Not sure when the 2.x cutoff was, but I've been using the above for years.

Some video players are naive in their approach to performance.

When it gets hard I use mplayer with prebuffering, e.g.
`mplayer -cache 128000 video.avi`

I used to use `mplayer -cache 128000...

Is he using the binary drivers or the open source drivers?

When I upgraded my Verizon Fios to 25/25Mbit they did nothing, they left it at the old speed 5/2 (which shouldn't have been 5/2 in the first place but that's a different story I told already).

You can probably set all setting to max except one or two. Just don't overload your VRAM.

If you get a X4 you don't get Turbo. Unless you permanently run highly multithreaded applications that's a bad idea IMHO.

As counter-intuitive as it is, the X6 processors are much better if you...

I just built a new workstation with:
- 1100T
- Asus M4A89something
- 4x 4GB ECC Unreg from Ewiz

The board needed a BIOS flash before it would run memtest without errors on all modules and all...

Well, servers, and serving to a web browser, is where the music is there days, no?

And when it comes to native clients, if you are into that kind of thing IOS and Android are probably more...

My CABNE Opteron 939 still works like a charm, every day.

I recommended a high clocked dual because this is a temporary CPU until a Bulldozer chip walks in. And the cost envelope is small anyway. It is the right choice for gaming on a budget.

Bought a Galaxy branded 570 ti. Mistake. Do not want to live with carrier flight deck sound background.

Unfortunately most aftermarket cooling doesn't specifically mention the 570 ti. Is there a...

Well sorry for trying to be helpful.

You aren't the same guy as the one here, are you?

This person got it fixed by stopping to trash the SSD with the Firefox profile/cache.

Did you try any of the suggestions?

You also mix up the concepts of virtual and physical memory, your memory calculations won't do.

An original 30 GB vortex, some ridata and and a gskill 128 GB, a Intel X25 80 GB and a Intel 510. The latter hasn't been driven through the mill too much yet.

Except this thread is about swap on SSD.

The SSD used for swapspace is not involved, ever, in this scenario. The reload of a dropped page happens from the original location in the filesystem.

Neither Windows nor Unixes treat binary...

Easy. Just get enough RAM to hold all of the target file and make sure nothing else is in RAM.

Seriously, what kind of "hickups"?

Are you using SSDs here?

Regular compiled code ("program data") is not moved to the swapfile at all. It is readonly mapped and if evicted to make space it is simply dropped from memory. If needed again it is fetched from...

I don't think you'll kill it but it seems quite pointless.

If your system swaps a lot (and that means actively using swapspace I/O, not just parking some bloatware there that is never used), then...

Well, Java development in Eclipse probably doesn't feel much different no matter what OS you use.

I save my money by not getting SSDs and put it into more RAM and raids of normal HDs. Overall much better system for more situations, same money and safer.
