one of my friends asked me can we use the EEEPC for BT downloading? i said definitely not recommended since it's using SSD. However, he said it's possible to upgrade the EEEPC to 2GBram, then used the RAMDISK for downloading without accessing the SSD.

Use the Ramdisk software to make part of the RAM become a HDD for download? i have not idea is it possible.

anyone know about this and try before? if it's possible it might help us to save some electricity bill money.

install 2GB RAM, get the ArRamdisk, configure it as big as u wanted...

but, once u shutdown w/o copy it to harddisk/flash USB... everything gone

so, it's possible. hmmm,...that is great but i don't think i will do that

it time to install xp....

malaysia still don't have 8gb?
any site list down the spec of eee pc? since asus website only have limited information...
consider to get 1 unit......
the ram is so-dimm ram or desktop ram?

most of the time.. I'm using my Eee for BT'ing leh.

Using external HDD.

Frankly, I dont' really see much use of a 1GB ramdisk

u may get it from taiwan if u hv fren going there or stay there.. i also looking for a 8gb .... spec u can google it... and the ram is normal notebook ddr 2 ... can support up to 2gb....but only got 1 slot

i'm using 512 Ramdisk for temp, firefox & ie cache + paging file

read from wiki say that ssd will died faster if it read/write too often...true? then how pendrive still not died?

SSD is more durable than flash drive and even last more longer than HDD. Which Eee PC's SSD is MLC type and not SLC type which found on most of the flash drive in market.

Although it has read/write lifespan. But the Eee PC's SSD has dynamic wear leveling feature which is write the "busy" task to a buffer space before write into the SSD
目前EeePC SSD的控制IC是CF card改來用的, 有dynamic wear leveling功能, 會把寫入頻繁的記憶區塊跟空白區塊對調, 延長壽命.

Normally, the SLC type flash's lifespan can exceed 1million times write. But Eee PC's MLC type SSD's Dynamic wear leveling feature will balance the numbers Write-in for buffer space and SSD. And it will longer the lifespan.

The main Advantage for SSD can found on the trip on bus in China (almost like roller coaster). which i can watch my movie (save in SSD+memory card) and never be stop or paused. Unlike the HDD laptops.

>.<....make me more more more want it....

oh...if ssd died must replace with ssd or can replace with notebook hdd?
since the since is same...2.5inch

I've heard from the review (USA or somewhere western country), they said XP is not good for this, may cause many error for certain program

nop. It is stable than linux which builtin.

But, you had to stay with 800x480 or 800x600 resolution. Some of the application need 1024x768 and more, u need to use the simulate 1024x768 or even 1280x1024 that get from display properties.

i found out that it is same as my other lappy and desktop. still cant get error for my daily task and program i used.

Eee PC (701 model, 4G version)'s SSD is solder-type, not 1.8" or 2.5".
But we can upgrade it by put 1 mini PCI-E type SSD for it. But makesure your EEE behind the back cover has the mini PCI-E slot. Latest batch seem had no that slot. (8G version had use it for 8G SSD, But dun hv solder type SSD)

I'm not sure about that yet since I only spend 30 minutes on it yesteray lol, gonna check again when I go home. thanks

mine was already installed with Windows XP, i disable the paging, tested a few applications, office 2003, real player, mplayer, k-lite, surf internet, so far no issue.

it should be fine with normal daily application, but i never ty huge & big application on this small notebook, also, after install winXP SP2, office 2003, AVG and few small apps, my SSD left about 1.5GB.

will MLC SSD can stand laptop heat?

dont know... but eee pc damm hot

Where can we buy this?
MTSC finish stock already!
