Built a nice system at work the other day;

Intel 980X

Intel 60gb SSD

8gb DDR3 2000MHZ Ram

Takes 50 seconds to post, and then 10 seconds to loads Windows 7.

50 seconds to post? turn all the shit off that u dont need to use ;P

^^^ I assume you mean 5 seconds to post Abe?!

Yeah Ben a mate in Brisvegas has 3 x 128Gb SSDs raided believe it or not .... simply awesome, so I am told.

unfortunately, no TRIM functionality whenn SSD's are in RAID 0...but even 1x SSD kicks the butt of a couple SATA's in RAID 0

pretty sure some SSD's have internal Raid 0 stripes with hardware TRIM - get two of those in series and u wont need to worry too much out wear levelling

in addition to that, slashdot did a series of benchmarks at some stage and they estimated that even the worst SSD for levelling won't have issues until its at least 5 year old (conservative) if not 10 (optimistic) - most peoples computers dont even last that long

if i can find it, ill post it up. also had some neat benchmarks comparing the IBM x25 series vs the OCZ and G.Skill brands - and there wasnt as big a difference as the price tag makes out...

Nope, 50 Seconds. GPU Post, Mobo Post, and that was with a Bios that had the unwanted features disabled, higher end motherboard, so heaps of features you can't disable too.

When you say higher end, are you talking Intel ?

hi all.just wondering what you all use as a media player on ur PC?

i use VLC, love the layout and most things about it. the issue i have is it freezes over the lan, and also on my desktop... i have used the googleizer and tried the things suggested there, increasing the buffer helped a lot, but i still get the freezes

in the past i was a big fan of media player classic, but i find the playlist a bit clunky so i have been persisting with VLC.

does anyone out there use anything else that is worth a shot?

...::edit::...

my os is win 7 ultimate

hi all... looks like this was sorted by either the new release of VLC or fixed thanks to patch tuesday last week... has held up fine since both of those things that were done on the same day.

i would have liked to know what it was tho

plan change last nite, and im on annex m now

sacrificed a wee bit of d/l speed, but the upload is off the hizzle now

[Madaz]

wow

what game you gunna host

[bezender]

well now on the internode SOHO plans, when u get shaped ur d/l goes down to 512/kb/s and the upload is not shaped

and of course like any self respecting ISP upload does not count.

thinking of hosting a couple games now n then, and also having an FTP server to share all my media to my mates.

[Madaz]

you can host Rfactor and you dont even have to purchase the game only helps people with the game :banana:

i actually signed up for a Real Time Racer beta and there is a comp to skin a car and win a game seat

although i suck @ skinning im giving it a shot

we are in the middle of swapping plans to bigpond 25gb plan (from a lower gb cap bigpond plan). Is it normal to experience dial-up like speeds during transfer?

[S1LV3RTRACKS]

You shouldn’t have any speed change (unless you are downgrading your plan’s speed of course). The upgrade usually happens at midnight as that is when account plan changes are processed. Have you power cycled your modem/ other network equipment to ensure any changes are recognised?
