That's because RAM is not storage and storage is not CPU speed. I know it sounds awkward, but that's why.

EDIT: A lot of boot time is all...

[duby229]

We can all thank split memory architectures for that. If applications ran from storage an it was the speed of the CPU, then you could have true instant...

Yeah, you're right, it was this guy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentiu...ve#486_sockets, on a 486 board. Now that I'm thinking back, I remember...

[duby229]

Those are all good points, but it is a rebuttal, because you'd have to look at single board computers to find something comparable today. Except I'd imagine...

[duby229]

I don't mean to speak for bridgman, but I'm nearly positive it's the latter....

[duby229]

People said the exact same thing about 1ghz Thunderbirds and Coppermines..... Look at where we are today....

[duby229]

Not damage exactly, but disabled yeah. And yeah, I agree with you it makes total sense....

My very first computer was a 25mhz 486SX, no FPU, and it was not able to play mp3. My next computer after that was 166mhz 486DX, with FPU, and it played...

[duby229]

And that's exactly the problem, you never had problems, but they did happen. Like I said, it's just my opinion, So I understand it's not the way I'd like...

[duby229]

That's just like locking your products from being multiplier overclocked. Guess what happens anyway? So yeah I understand where you're coming from to...

[duby229]

Just my opinion here guys, but I think every DIMM of every kind over 1GB should be required to be ECC. Period. It should have been done a loong time ...

[duby229]

The reason why is because when a die is fabricated every feature on it is already paid for. There is no reason to fuse it off, except to screw your customers....

[duby229]

Which, ironically enough is a circumstance that adequately resembles the first two of the three E's. I'm not saying that's intentionally what it is, I...

[duby229]

What can I say to that except, get'er dun! ...

[duby229]

I know Gnome's philosophy and I think can sense your sarcasm, So yeah, I agree 100%....

[duby229]

I do understand that firefox wants the rendering engine to draw everything the same way.... But if after 7 years they still aren't willing to put in the...

[duby229]

I didn't mean to imply that all launchers are made equal. I do understand there are some buggy ones and some overly simple ones that are pointless and...

[duby229]

Oh boy, finding them though is a malware fest....

[duby229]

Dude are you serious? I think launchers are one of the most fantastic inventions ever!! I remember when games required to be installed from 3 - 6 discs...

[duby229]

I 'm wondering, there is a KMS interface in the kernel, which basically all modern GPU's use for modesetting. Why don't the linux kernel devs just develop...
