    Does the Ion ONLY pair with the atom??

    It seems like the ION is getting some positive reviews. It seems as though it beats the inte; 4500HD in most benchmarks. I have not seen an ION advertised on anything other than an atom CPU. It would sure be nice to see the ION paired with those new core 2 duo or core duo ULV chips that...

    What am I missing here?

    So this laptop looks pretty amazing but I am very skeptical despite the reviews: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834115593 Mainly I am wondering how good these lower voltage core 2 Duo's are and also if it actually gets anywhere near the 8 hours battery life it claims.

    32GB SSD

    Does anyone know anything about this SSD? It seems like it has a good MTFB and read/write. The price seems a lot better than other 32GB SSD's on newegg as well. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820183202

    Best solution for weird sized drives?

    Because I am poor I usually buy the cheapest $/GB drives I can get. Traditionally I have just had all of them running as separate drives, and backed up myself. I am looking at using raid because I am getting tired of managing lots of independent drives and I am looking for some automatic...

    Anyone with a P5Q and Linux?

    Hi, I am deciding on a mobo and the P5Q-E is the leading contender. The only thing I need to know about is linux compatibility specifically in the sata/e-sata/nic area. I don't expect there would be problems, but Ive heard of some motherboards not being supported so I thought I would ask real...
