soon youll be telling yourself if 15 seconds is too much startup time for youre brand-new notebook :)
oh, and though doesnt really mean the end of RAM, itll give virtual memory a decent speed and allow integrated graphics cards such as those in UMPCs to make a huge leap forward into the area of HL1, and, who knows HLČ!]]>Mar 8th 2006 2:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/08/intel-sees-nand-flash-hard-drives-in-notebooks-coming-next-year/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/08/intel-sees-nand-flash-hard-drives-in-notebooks-coming-next-year/Mar 8th 2006 2:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/08/intel-sees-nand-flash-hard-drives-in-notebooks-coming-next-year/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/08/intel-sees-nand-flash-hard-drives-in-notebooks-coming-next-year/Mar 8th 2006 3:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/08/intel-sees-nand-flash-hard-drives-in-notebooks-coming-next-year/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/08/intel-sees-nand-flash-hard-drives-in-notebooks-coming-next-year/
I am a fan of the site, but guys, please read a few books on English composition and journalism! This has been a problem here for quite some time.]]>Mar 8th 2006 3:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/08/intel-sees-nand-flash-hard-drives-in-notebooks-coming-next-year/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/08/intel-sees-nand-flash-hard-drives-in-notebooks-coming-next-year/
I dunno what youre on about with Engadgets writers, but that had nothing to do with NAND memory.

I just hope they produce flash memory drives with the same shape/footprint as 2.5 inch drives, I don't wanna have to chuck my lappy just cause I bought it before this wonderful developement]]>Mar 8th 2006 3:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/08/intel-sees-nand-flash-hard-drives-in-notebooks-coming-next-year/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/08/intel-sees-nand-flash-hard-drives-in-notebooks-coming-next-year/

I mean, to boot up, I'd imagine that at *least* 128 megabytes would be needed (I'm sure they'll have Vista in mind). But then you have to figure that if they use the flash as a cache (*groan*, rhyming) drive, it'll need more memory than 128 megabytes.

In regards to Alexandre's post, this isn't going to replace 2.5" hard drives, just add to them to increase performance. They DO sell notebooks that use compactflash cards as hard drives (I think fujitsu sells a very thin and light notebook that does it) but it's still very expensive.]]>Mar 8th 2006 3:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/08/intel-sees-nand-flash-hard-drives-in-notebooks-coming-next-year/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/08/intel-sees-nand-flash-hard-drives-in-notebooks-coming-next-year/
Now: CPU > CACHE > RAM > HD

Soon: CPU > CACHE > RAM > NAND > HD

Later: CPU > CACHE > MRAM > NAND.HD

A little later {?}: CPU > CACHE > MRAM.HD]]>Mar 8th 2006 3:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/08/intel-sees-nand-flash-hard-drives-in-notebooks-coming-next-year/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/08/intel-sees-nand-flash-hard-drives-in-notebooks-coming-next-year/

Excellent systems, way ahead of the rest of the PC world, and the only windows based systems I would even consider.

They are just rebranded sagers and a lot of their other stuff isnt even possible.

All in all, its a scam of a company.]]>Mar 8th 2006 5:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/08/intel-sees-nand-flash-hard-drives-in-notebooks-coming-next-year/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/08/intel-sees-nand-flash-hard-drives-in-notebooks-coming-next-year/Mar 8th 2006 11:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/08/intel-sees-nand-flash-hard-drives-in-notebooks-coming-next-year/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/08/intel-sees-nand-flash-hard-drives-in-notebooks-coming-next-year/Mar 9th 2006 12:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/08/intel-sees-nand-flash-hard-drives-in-notebooks-coming-next-year/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/08/intel-sees-nand-flash-hard-drives-in-notebooks-coming-next-year/Mar 9th 2006 1:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/08/intel-sees-nand-flash-hard-drives-in-notebooks-coming-next-year/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/08/intel-sees-nand-flash-hard-drives-in-notebooks-coming-next-year/Mar 10th 2006 11:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/08/intel-sees-nand-flash-hard-drives-in-notebooks-coming-next-year/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/08/intel-sees-nand-flash-hard-drives-in-notebooks-coming-next-year/Think again, dungan:

NO magnetic HD. The 16GB flash drive is not an extension of a hard drive. It IS the hard drive. It doesn't mention NAND technology so I don't know what they used. They need to bring it up to at least 30GB and put it in a Dell (VAIOs are too damn expensive anyway). ]]>Jun 30th 2006 11:27AM
