  1. Re:Why so much of USB? on Flash Drives Go To Work · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Firewire has less cpu over head and firewire 400 is faster then usb 2.0 480 megabits in testing.

    How long in till we start to see E-SATA drives and firewire drives? Hard disks will come with flash ram on them soon likely runing at speeds that use the full SATA 300 bus.

    Windows vista use of usb keys for VM sound like a bad idea when hard disks are faster and have less cpu over head. Some one should make internal SATA flash drives for that.

    Is there any work being done on usb 3?

  8. I live in the NW Chicago area and have some ideas on Can a Gaming Cafe be Successful? · · Score: 1

    Have a smoke free area I once went to a gaming place and did not like the smoke at all and some towns in this area are talking about no smoking laws.

    Use deep freeze to keep the systems in the same state as a lot of games need admin to work. Deep freeze resets the system back to where it was at each reboot. But you still have to put games updates, mods, system updates, and driver's updates into the image at least one a month or more.

    Get your parts form a place like http://www.tigerdirect.com/ as they have local pick up and it easy to return bad parts to them.

    you may want to have other things like pinball games to bring people in as there is no good play to play them. Gameworks has them but they don't fix them that well.

    No we need good gaming hardware first and the Mac pro costs way too much for most gamers. The iMac does work with people want to have there own monitor and the mini gma 950 sucks with games. Apple needs a min-rage Mac with a video card in slot to fit in the gap form the low end Macs to the Mac pro.

    they are useing EFI bios so your video card by need that and I don't think that all of slots are running at x16. They are x16 slots but may be just running at x1 , x4 , or x8.
