PCMark Vantage World Records

[mike]

steve,
does u'r ML has any cache backup in any chance of a sudden electrical failure?

i was wondering over this as 4GB of data is quite A LOT to miss..

Not to talk for Steve, but in my case after using the 1231ML for several years, I have never lost any data due to the cache.

However I also do take precautions. When capturing HD video I usually turn the chaching off, to prevent any costly loss of data. ( but honestly most of the time I forget - and still never had problems...)

However when editing video, or graphics I always switch the caching back on. Editing video, using programs like Adobe After Effects, Photoshop etc. benefit greatly from this!




PCMark Vantage simulates Graphics editing in test1, and video editing in Test 2. Hardware cache is good precisely for that. Software caching very bad for that in the real world.
Too bad PCMark Vantage does not credit system memory better in it's point system. My biggest complaint with this benchmark is precisely the lack of fully utilizing all system memory.
