Re: Upgrade O/S or GPU?
My answer is the recommendation from Adobe regarding setting up Photoshop. There is no stipulation as to what types of volumes are being used - only that the scratch disk(s) be a different volume from the boot (and also assuming the install of PS). I have yet to see/hear anything different coming from Adobe since the introduction to SSDs. I would image that this still would have a benefit to some degree - albeit limited in comparison to traditional drives - in regards to simultaneous I/O, but this is hardly my area of expertise. Id have to hazard a guess that the best answer will come direct from Adobe if no one here is already specifically aware of it. -- ME2 On Fri, Mar 11, 2011 at 10:16 PM, Ben Scott mailvor...@gmail.com wrote: Again, I ask: Does any of this still apply to SSDs? The change from a spinning disk to flash ROM is a pretty drastic change in technology. One should re-evaluate old assumptions in such cases.

RE: 3rd Party laptop batteries
Laptop batteries have been known to have serious issues, specifically extreme over-heating. I'd be more concerned about that than the fact that they don't hold a charge very long... How many 3rd party battery vendors will stand behind the damage this may cause? -- richard Carl Houseman c.house...@gmail.com 03/11/2011 04:48 PM Please respond to NT System Admin Issues ntsysadmin@lyris.sunbelt-software.com To NT System Admin Issues ntsysadmin@lyris.sunbelt-software.com Press this button if the To is a fax number.

I probably should have listened to you guys when you griped about me jumping on the first thing that I came up with, but it seems to have turned out OK. The first battery I got from the Amazon vendor was apparently bad as it didn't even last 5 minutes, but the replacement battery is working over 2 hours according to the user.

RE: Antivirus Vendor Replacement
We had many talks with Gartner. All I can say is that they didn't seem to understand that we don't want to add 1,000 endless features to make the feature checkbox game. We will continue to impress upon them that we never want to be like anyone else. Gartner does not actually use the products they evaluate. They watch a Powerpoint presentation by the vendor. When I went out to design VIPRE with our team, our philosophy was less is better - in other words, we wanted to design a Porsche, vs. an SUV. In talking to admins, we found that the biggest headache was performance. Well, the reality is, you add all kinds of cute toys to your Porsche, it's going to turn into a pig. I'm going to be parsimonious with whatever features we add to VIPRE. Gartner dinged us because we didn't have things like a Wifi mode (whatever that is) and USB device protection. True, we don't. Personally, I feel that a lot of what they wanted from the product would be better found elsewhere (much of it for free through GPO) or through dedicated point products. Nevertheless, we will continue adding pieces of functionality as it make sense, but I am far more in favor of continuing to refine what we have. I get much more concerned about the quality of malware detection, the usability of the console, intrusiveness of agents, and many other things that are part-and-parcel to what an admin has to deal with, rather than adding additional features. Believe me, it's enough just to make sure you have the basics right... But yes, we could do a better job getting more reviews and more analysts covering us, and now that GFI owns us, this is starting to happen (because money really helps).
