If it's used for hibernation, how can I kill it in XP?

**Gandalf_Grey_** · Mar 20th, 2002, 08:40 PM

try disabling hibernation, although you wouldn't be able to hibernate

**filburt1** · Mar 20th, 2002, 08:42 PM

It boots faster than it restores from hibernation

Where do I turn it off?

**Gandalf_Grey_** · Mar 20th, 2002, 08:44 PM

in power managment

yeah i wouldn't doubt it, you have 512 megs of ram right? well i only have 256 so i can shave of 10 seconds by hibernating

**filburt1** · Mar 20th, 2002, 08:56 PM

Ahhh, 600 MB free now

**JungleMan** · Mar 20th, 2002, 08:59 PM

Imagine those people with 4 gigs of RAM

**filburt1** · Mar 20th, 2002, 09:01 PM

That's kinda pointless unless you're running a server, 512 is enough for nearly anybody right now...it pisses me off how many comp makers are STILL shipping with 128

And then they charge another $100 to upgrade? Bullsh*t.

I want the cost of ram to go down again

I already have what I need..lucky bastard I am, got it at the bottom of teh price dip

**Gandalf_Grey_** · Mar 20th, 2002, 09:25 PM

I might buy an extra 256 when the prices go down, but i will stick with my current 256 right now

**Gimlin** · Mar 20th, 2002, 09:26 PM

About 2 years ago my friend was going to buy a 64 ram slot. But this was right after the japan factory crashed, and the cost sky rocketed. At that time he had to pay $180 for 64 ram. Hard to image paying that much now

Good old child labour in third world countries

**sail3005** · Mar 20th, 2002, 11:54 PM

128 does me justice

**daveyboy** · Mar 21st, 2002, 05:50 AM

I always hate it how some PC manufacturer purposefully put too little RAM in machines that non computer literate people will buy, it just forces them to spend more and more money.....

Apple are guilty of this too some machines which ship with OS X (min RAM 128M) only come with 64, thus forcing ppl to almost immediately buy again....

Will they never think that customer satisfaction will bring them business, and forcing us to buy only makes us bitter and twisted? (Oh wait I was any way

)

Yep, and then they tell you to buy like "HP certified RAM" for twice the price, or somethin

Which Macs still ship with 64 MB considering that OS X is now the default OS on bootup?

**Gimlin** · Mar 21st, 2002, 10:02 AM

I really hate how they say a computer comes with 64 megs of ram. But they give you 2 32 slots instead of 1 64

**Gandalf_Grey_** · Mar 21st, 2002, 11:25 AM

my motherboard has 3 512 slots

although i will never fill them all

**JungleMan** · Mar 21st, 2002, 01:42 PM

Yep same here

**Gimlin** · Mar 21st, 2002, 07:52 PM

Can you buy 1g ram?

**JungleMan** · Mar 21st, 2002, 07:53 PM

Yea I think it's only available in ECC these days now though.

**Gandalf_Grey_** · Mar 21st, 2002, 07:59 PM

Well unless you are doing big graphics stuff what the hell would you use that for?

Exactly, I don't plan on upgrading my RAM any more in this system

Now when I get a Clawhammer next spring I'll probably get a gig of RAM

i'm saving my money for one

**Gimlin** · Mar 21st, 2002, 08:00 PM

What is this Clawhammer you speak off?

**JungleMan** · Mar 21st, 2002, 08:02 PM

Umm have you been living udner a cave for the past 3 years

Clawhammer is the upcoming 64 bit chip from AMD, the Sledgehammer is a faster version and will kill the Intel Itanium

but i'm not made of money so i'm going for clawhammer a few months after it is out

**Gimlin** · Mar 21st, 2002, 08:03 PM

how do you live under a cave

**Gandalf_Grey_** · Mar 21st, 2002, 08:06 PM

i thought 64 bit proscessers executed 32 bit instructions waaay slower than normal?

**JungleMan** · Mar 21st, 2002, 08:07 PM

Only the POS Itanium, the Clawhammer/Sledgehammer not only runs 32 bit apps wonderfully (better than Athlons or P4s) but supports 64 bit ones

**Gandalf_Grey_** · Mar 21st, 2002, 08:09 PM

Ah i see, hmm i may have to make a clawhammer fund

**JungleMan** · Mar 21st, 2002, 08:10 PM

Yep

I've already started on one- no nForce or KT333 for me, thank you very much...

Yeah well a good portion of the money I get goes towards my computer, i don't care about a car, etc, it's not that important

if I get a car it'll be some cheapie car because I foresee very little reason to drive

**Gandalf_Grey_** · Mar 21st, 2002, 08:22 PM

my grandma is thinking about giving me her car cause she is moving into some delux nursing home

anyways i don't want it

The insurance would be $1500 a year, my dad wants 75% of everything i make for university, and i want a clawhammer, ps2, more memory, a new video card, computer books (as i learn new languages, currently i have about 10 on varying sybjects and varying languages), I wan't to get A+ certified, (later comes MSCE), and i have to pay for driving school, and my CCNA early next year. OUCH

not when you are hopelessly addicted to RPG's (final fantasy ROCKS!)

**Gimlin** · Mar 21st, 2002, 08:32 PM

FF11 will be released on PC and it is going to own big time.

**Gandalf_Grey_** · Mar 21st, 2002, 08:37 PM
