People really should get over the P4 = toast thing. They have improved. Yes they are still a bit hot and will not ramp as well as Intel hoped, but they are not as bad as everybody continues to make out.
"Well I think that you havent really got the gist of what Sony are saying. Sony can make the battery for the PSP as good as is possible (within the confines of cost and technology) for the PSP but if the thing is running say "Tetris" is going to use a hell of a lot less power than if it is running "Doom III". This thing aint a gameboy its basically a PS2 running off a lithium battery-powering a pretty damn big screen and some pretty powerful hardware.... just how long do you expect the battery to last on this thing?"
I'd expect Sony to realise that putting moving parts (spindle/lens) into a handheld is going to cripple battery life and result in a system that will only play mediocre games if you want a decent battery life. The point is it's *too much* like a PS2 running off batteries... it seems more like a bodge than an innovation.

I presume parent is some godlike person who never makes a mistake.
Lots of people notice them, and when they complain, they are told that 1 or 2 is an acceptable number due to the manufacturing process.

RAID 1 for if a drive fails.
RAID 1 + 0 - same as above but with speed benefits
RAID 5 - Costly, write performance takes a hit but reads are good.
IMO these are the only ones that should be considered. I'm sure somebody will elaborate on the theory behind them...
