Re: SSD lifetime

by your logic, using the drives in a raid will extend their life by the number of drives in a array. granted, if you are writing equally across all 4 drives, but over time I would wager you will. Isn't the point of a RAID to have identical copies on all your drives so you have backups in case one …

Re: How many people actually use 1080p?

You can pretty much blame the massive adoption of cheap laptops for low quality panel types too and especially the dominant 1366x768 sub-HD crap out there.

I just discovered this Voodoo 5 video on Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqzC1tjRnQI Look at some of the ignorant comments by szederp and CPX7700. szederp's comments are particularly interesting. He doesn't even seem to know that P-III, Athlon era machines could still be considered DOS …
