Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping
In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

If you do hardware RAID instead of software RAID, you can RAID your OS. Making your OS alot faster.

Does the board you want have dual memory controlers?


EDIT: Btw, RAID the two 100GB together. user added image

That's a plan but why not put in a 10K Raptor for his OS and important stuff and the rest on teh 2 100hdd? That's what I plan to do with my new PC

wtf is a 10k raptor?

and now that i come to think about it why not install windows to a 1 gb memorystick? (yes there are 1 gb memorys for cameras... just that it costs 1000€...)

(that can be done? booting from a solid state memory device such as a memory card?)

does anyone knows if the mobo of one of those pcs (like the new hp´s) wich have one 51/4" slot ocuppied with a thingie with lots of memorycard lectors can be configured to treat that thingie as a boot device? (if they can boot fron zip/LS devices...)

(when i finish my exams(on saturday) i will investigate... ill have to wait for those 1Gb memorysticks to drop price dramatically but it would be soo cool...)

Just imagine the possibiities of tech on the 5 next years...
think comercialization of specialiced nanodevices on twenty years (not disasemblers)
think mars frist colonized on thirty/fourty years
(think Maya N thenuser added image)
think comercialization of CLEAN D-He3 FUSION reactors on 50 years
think that for us tech will be magic in 100 years
we cant imagine what on a thousand years...

(that is at the current science/tech expansion growth level if we dont fry ourselves or make something equally stupid and so catastrophic that slows it)

I've also decided to drop the xaser mouse and replace it with a Logitech MX 700 but keep the keyboard.

Is that kid standing up? lmao

that thing is HUUUUUUGE

also, although a memory stick would be fast... would it actually boot? i mean, it probably wouldnt recognise it.
