    Nvidia Is Negotiating To Buy A Large PC Oriented Company

    New Patches Aim To Lower Linux Memory Use For Swap, Slightly Improve Performance

    the way i understand it is this: instead of using 854mb of ram for the metadata for a 1tb swap device it only will now use 598mb of ram for metadata. while a savings sure, but if that is your big worry then there are other places you probably should be saving ram as well and im not talking about...

    Gigabyte RMA SCAM

    dropped on its edge without a edge protector...but usually the steel slot vanes prevent all but the back notch from being hurt. the damage appears to be in the back 1/3rd so it is possible like it landed on something, but you would also think the beveled edge would be more damaged as well
