It's Friday -- often a quieter day in the office. I was wondering why don't new computers like the i5 just have solid state memory and forget about disk drives. Think about it. You can get a 2GB thumb drive for $75 or less. Why can't the manufacturers just load about 200 GB of this solid state memory into the machine? Think of the speed improvement.
Windows Vista has two features called ReadyDrive and SuperFetch that deal with this. An interesting fact that is stated in the video is that the speed of flash memory is increasing ( a lot ) faster than the speed of hard drives. http://channel9.msdn.com/Showpost.aspx?postid=238608 http://channel9.msdn.com/Showpost.aspx?postid=242429 -Steve
