    Quick question: How do I know what generation Intel SSD do I have?

    Hi all! I have a quick question: I bought the Intel X25-M 120GB SSD... It's model # is SSDSA2MH120G2K5. How can I tell if it's G1 or G2? Newegg link: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820167035 Thanks!

    Dell U2410

    Hey guys, first question: is this Riza "iza" Porciuncula super-powerlady available for Canadians?! I mean, just in case. Second question: I have been using my two U2410s for 5 months now, and other than a slightly pink-green tint on one of them, which I haven't bothered to exchange, I still...

    Not all of them. I got two Rev A00. One does not have any tinting, the other one has only a mildly noticeable "green to pink" tint when both monitors are arranged side to side.

    Dell U2410

    I have two U2410s, one has no tint issues at all and the other one has a very mild pink-green on the top-right corner. I heard that the sRGB/ARGB firmware fix is ready on Dell, and that I can only get it by exchanging my monitors for refurbished flashed ones. DO YOU RECOMMEND GETTING THE...

    Dell U2410

    Hey Betaboy, I didn't know you were in Canada. I've heard you were successful in going back to loving your U2410 after you bought the Spyder 3 calibrator. Did you have a non-uniform tinting problem? I have a very slightly greenish-pinkish tinting issue with the pinkish region located in the...

    Dell U2410

    Yeah, what are the actual chances this will even be possible??? I have two monitors, one with a slight but livable tinting issue and the other one perfect. I would hate to end up with 2 monitors without sRGB/ARGB dithering but with a tinting problem... I would even PAY for a Dell technician to...

    Dell U2410

    Indeed. Lament to inform you guys but I got two U2410, both are REV A00, Assembled in Mexico and "Date of Mfg" Oct 2009. Both arrived at the same time. One in a perfect box, the other in a somewhat ripped box on one side. (I even got the Styrofoam/polystyrene packaging broken inside.) That was...

    Dell U2410

    For all I have read and browsed, I think that's pretty much the conclusion: there are "similar" IPS monitors for about the same price, such as the LP2475w, etc... But they all have "similar" terrifying issues. Mhhh... I dunno, when we say "green" I think we pretty much mean something more like...

    Dell U2410

    Oh damn! :eek: :eek: :eek: I suppose that for some reason they call it firmware... Perhaps the best thing is to wait for Rev A01, and hope that those clowns from Dell will do **something** (at least something) in regards to the tinting issue to deserve a new Rev number. Then at least I will have...

    Dell U2410

    I think I'm pretty much on the same boat. I bought two of these: the first one came out perfect, it has no pixel issues (apart from the Adobe RGB/sRGB dithering fiasco) and no tint at all that I can (seriously) perceive. The second one has a slightly more noticeable tinting issue, indeed. For a...

    Dell U2410

    Well, I've also noticed that when the monitor was working fine... This time however, the self-testing thingy after power-on is not even performed... You now, from power-off to power-on, buttons 1-5 light-on in sequence... then they light-off... this is happening no more with mine.

    Dell U2410

    Hey bros, I'm sorry to distract you from your all-important and unequivocal debate on the green2pink tint issue and the sRGB/Adobe RGB dithering fiasco, but I'm having this real problem with my 1st monitor: somehow the touch sensor buttons (the ones above the power button) are NOT responding AT...

    Hi mates! I just ordered two of these U2410 on the dell.ca site at special sale price of $499 CDN each (from $750 CDN), for a grand total of $998 CDN (+ GST/PST/Environmental Disposal Fees...) :cool: :cool: (In all and all, however, that's about the least reasonable price they could...

    A Keynesian metaphor on "Do we need a pagefile when running with lots of RAM?"

    I know bro, but "some people" simply are just too... well, you know, too... You know what, I had actually conjectured that from simply watching all those system performance and diagnostics tools: I've always seen that after I get rid of the pagefile, PF usage still showing up, even though...

    Boy, I'm beginning to think you're just trolling around... Please come clear, it's your opportunity :rolleyes:.. I think you also can do better: I am not challenging Microsoft's suggestion for having page file, which is particulary sound for low memory systems, but some people's argument...

    A Keynesian metaphor on "Do we need a pagefile when running with lots of RAM?"

    I must bring the second paragraph to your attention: Here, by "claim", I mean, for example, in a simple C program, allocate an array of 2147483648 characters in free memory and then iterate through this array and set all it's entries to 0. Following me? This last "iteration" is not even...

    A Keynesian metaphor on "Do we need a pagefile when running with lots of RAM?"

    :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Your first point is most likely true, but that doesn't refute the essence of my argument, for a very small number of applications would still exhaust the commit charge of the system, in this case 4 apps, not 2, would do, for example. Your second point is also correct...

    :o :o :o Sorry, I don't mean to offend you with my apparent disdain, I do appreciate your attention to comment on this thread. But I can't help to feel your statement is void of any reasons for me to actually use a pagefile: you are only saying that "it's clear" I don't understand (what? -- I...

    A Keynesian metaphor on "Do we need a pagefile when running with lots of RAM?"

    Yeah, you see, I totally get that the space is not the problem. IT HAS NEVER BEEN MY ISSUE (well, back in the day it definitely was...) What I mean is that to map a page file into memory, it needs to access the disk in which it is located, and if I have a database file in THAT disk, no matter...

    A Keynesian metaphor on "Do we need a pagefile when running with lots of RAM?"

    Of course, when we say "lots of RAM" in 32bit OS'es, 4GB is the theoretical limit, but more often it's about 3.5 GB, since the system "reserves" (or loses track of) a bunch of these bytes... Some people say, rather sarcastically, that it could be worse, as we could be running 16bit OS'es and it...

    Fixing a 1st-gen Raptor WD360 and suggested partition size for WD6401AALS

    Hi pals! I am new to this forum and like it very much. I arrived here through Google when I was doing some before-buying research looking for matches of "WD5001AALS", "WD6401AALS", etc. Reading the posts in this forum, I became convinced of buying the WD6401AALS for my current PC desktop...
