    Lovely speed, but I wonder what all that heat output will do the ambient temperature.

    Seriously, this sounds a lot like any other marketing gimmick ever invented. And it is just asking for a car analogy. Simply replace $COMPANY with Chevrolet, and start imagining the rest..!

    Yeah, like giving it to me so I can spend it on hardware that will be outdated in 6 months.

    It's sad when choosing an installation directory on your own qualifies you as an "advanced user."

    If the smell is really strong it is probably some sort of infection which is causing there to be high levels of trimethylamine oxide which cause a fishy odor. Get her on a regimen of Flagyl to treat the infection.

    The basic structure of Dynamic RAM has not changed, it still takes about 50nS for row precharge (Tras
    and 20bS column reads. All they've done is speed up the interface logic. The memory cell access is no faster.
    OK, so once you've opened a row, you can read that faster, but how many operating systems are
    optimized to keep the data row aligned in the system memory? You have a data request that is outside
    of the row you've opened, you have to close that row and open another, 120nS penalty.
    At 1.0GHz, that's 120 clock cycles.
