1400 W/ FLASH DRIVE!
Hey guys, first post. I have been working hard to get my old 1400c up to snuff. I've maxed out the mem, bought a wireless card for it, installed a fresh copy of 8.6. I'm to the last step before upgrading the cpu. The HDD! I know that i can boot 7.6.1 off of a sony mem stick and use if for virtual memory and internet cache but should i use it for everyday use. I think( and if someone could help with this part) that CF cards are faster than sony mem sticks. If so then i could use one of the 2gig cards to hold everything for me. thanks, chris __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Compact Flash would be great for another Hard Drive but at this point a waste of money if you ask me. If you use the Memory stick as a RAM Disk and get them system to at least 32MB of Real RAM It would be fast enough. CF is a little faster, but much more expensive.

Re: 1400 W/ FLASH DRIVE!
I've got my pb maxed out at 64mb. it's snappy. i just wanted to see if there was a way to have the virtual mem someplace else other than the primary HDD. 2 disks are better than one. i was just wondering if the the transfer rate and seek time is faster or slower than that of the standard 2gig HDD that came with the PB1400c. we all know that the 2 main bottlenecks with the 1400 are the mem and the hdd. --- Noah Wood [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Compact Flash would be great for another Hard Drive but at this point a waste of money if you ask me.
