  1. Re:Mac's already use PCI-Express on First Looks At PCI-X, BTX, New Chipsets, And More · · Score: 2, Informative

    I'll go on and say this then... Macs (new ones) have PCI-X (which as everyone has stated is not PCI express). I saw PCI-X on Xeon boards well before Apple shipped a box w/it.

  2. Re:I'm curious how windows does it on Is Swap Necessary? · · Score: 1
    Windows keeps dll's in memory after use for 'a while'. You can prevent this to help quickly free memory for swap and other apps by changing a registry setting:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Cur rentVersion\Explorer]
    "AlwaysUnloadDLL"="1"
    There are other tweaks too, like not paging out any kernel code or keeping multiple copies of dll's for stabilty. Gotta have 1GB for most of them to be helpful though.
  3. Keyless... on The Future of Cars According to Toyota · · Score: 2, Funny
    The PM is keyless, and a push-button similar to that on a PC starts the motor.
    So if it crashes, does that mean I have to hold the button for 3sec to turn it off?
