V1S-A1 benchmark and games

[Avid Gamer]

I wouldn't say it's completed useless, maybe it really help on some sub-notebooks with slower HD like 1.8" 4200rpm, but with V1S this powerful the Trubo Memory seem slow down the performance since it kind of take over the components that is faster than Turbo Memory.

On that note I take it that you ran the tests with the system plugged into the wall. If you have the time and the desire would you give it a try running it off the battery (and see if there is a preformace difference, or negative impact of having it enabled in that situation as well)?

With the processor speed stepped to a slower setting, and some of the other components slowing down to conserve power maybe it will might provide something of worth.

The link posted by matti shows little (20 minutes) to no benefit to battery life, but it doesn't mention anything about preformace being tested while on battery power.

BTW: Ken, thanks for sharing your test results with us.

g1s is better and thanks for the g1s you sent to me last week ken it runs beuitifull upgraded to 4gb ram and laptop cooler and ditched vista for xp 64bit

Ken: I was looking at the right side image of the V1s, and it seems to like using an expresscard would actually block both the card reader and the eSata port. What is your opinion? This is the controller card I plan on ordering.

Yes an ExpressCard 54 will block both of those ports. Your card only blocks the card reader.

Doh! Thats a severe turn off Really stupid design. Why didn't they put the expresscard slot on top? As a lot of expresscards actually build out and UP, I'd say that would be a much better solution.
Luckily, I'll mainly be transfering memory card stuff to an eSata, and not to the firewire disks.

Ken, when are you expecting more V1S? (Seeing that you said your supplies got pulled...)

Yeah I guess I can try that, I just don't know how much more battery it can get on just 1GB of Turbo Memory.

By look at the picture of the expresscard, it sure will block the card reader and eSata port.

we get new shipments of V1S-A1 once a week.

Hmmm, maybe I remembered incorrectly, sorry >,<
